VELCRO Travel Backpacks

Frame type 

• Internal frame: Sturdy lightweight aluminum frame provides structure for added support
• Frameless: Soft or sling-style options typically for smaller kids; prioritize simplicity and close contact.  

Get a good fit  

A good carrier should fit the adult like a backpack, with adjustable shoulder straps, hipbelt and torso length  

Look for comfort and safety features for your child
 

Key features include a supportive seat, adjustable harness, ventilation, sun or rain protection, and stable kick-out legs (on framed models) for safe loading and resting. 

Match features to how and where you’ll use the carrier
 

Consider terrain, trip length and climate when choosing features like storage capacity, hydration compatibility, weather covers and lightweight materials.
