BW question -- Piggyback Rider

[TJ]

Have y'all seen this piggy back rider? It's like a carrier, but the kid basically stands on a little step and is up higher like a piggyback.

Seems like a great idea for hiking!

DH showed me that recently. I think it looks neat, but of course DH thought it was unnecessary.

So we've tried it. And we sent it back

It doesn't come with a hip support belt and it killed hubby's shoulders. He said he'd rather just carry then on his shoulders.

Also, 4 yr olds​ are wiggly and make it unstable

Good to know! Did you provide feedback to the company?

Edited to add: oh look! Now they have a hip belt.

Someone in my BWI group said they tried it with her five year old and said her kid got tired because he had to stand. And it was uncomfortable with where the foot bar was on her back and fit weird because she is petite.

This looks interesting, too:
