Product Description

Patapaum's Baby and Toddler Carriers allow you to continue shopping, walking, hiking, or doing housework while you are being hugged by the one you love, your baby! The Patapum Baby Carrier offers soft, padded adjustable shoulder straps, and a supportive padded waist belt that distributes baby's weight to hips, not your back. The waist belt can be adjusted up to 55" which makes it perfect to share between wearers. The Patapum is made of 100% cotton shell and inside straps are made of breathable synthetics that can be machine washed in cold. The Patapum also offers a soft cotton mesh sleeping hood that can be tucked away when not in use. Another unique quality, is the body of the carrier can be tucked and snapped to the waist belt (sleeping hood must be detached). Safety features include: Heavy duty buckles to prevent unexpected openings. Baby's sitting position, with support for the thighs and back, allows for healthy growth of hips, pelvis, and spine. Baby's held close to wearer's center of gravity, allowing for natural movement while walking or working. Large leg openings to avoid chafing of baby's skin. No metal frames that can bump baby's head or frame joints that can pinch baby's fingers.

Customer Reviews

Great, small pack
I bought this pack because my 9 month old son (20 lbs) outgrew the Snugli front and backpack, which we liked. I didn't want a huge camping pack- I just wanted something small that I can leave in my car and use on short hikes or while shopping, etc. This pack is great! This pack fits me at 5'1" and my husband, who is 6'2" and we both find it comfortable. We take our son hiking 1-2 hours almost everyday in it and my back is never sore. I've worn it as a front and back pack and both are comfortable for everyone. Our son is comfy and happy to be hiking in this pack. The only thing that I think is a negative is that it is very difficult to use as a backpack if you are alone. This pack require a second person to put the baby in it. I've done it myself, but it takes time and isn't easy at all. That is the only reason I didn't give this 5 stars.

Great carrier
I have been using this carrier for about 4 months and I love it! It's very comfortable to wear, light-weight, and my son is perfectly happy in it while I go shopping or do chores. I tried a Kelty Kids Explorer before I bought this, and hated it. It was huge, pulled me off balance, heavy and my baby was uncomfortable.
Wearing your baby on your back with the patapum by yourself is really not that hard. I lay it down on a table/bed/chair with the waist almost off the edge, put him on it, snap the waist on, then carefully bring the shoulder straps (and him) up. We wear it everyday for a couple of hours and he really likes it so he'll just lay there patiently while I put it on. Don't try this method if they're squirmy though, they could fall before you get it on.
There are videos on the internet that show various ways of putting on this kind of baby carrier. Search under "patapum ergo instructions" for more information.
