The Soft Structured Baby Carrier is often called a backpack carrier (or front pack). Well known brands of this type are the ErgoBaby Carrier and Beco Baby Carrier. These carriers are designed for comfort and stability. Although they are thought of first as a backpack baby carrier, they are versatile and you will be able to carry your baby in several different positions. Deluxe style carriers of this type are used for hiking, but smaller versions are great for everyday use. Dad's especially love these types of baby carriers.
