Backpack carriers have been a game changer for our family hikes. From the padded comfort of the Deuter Kid Comfort 2 to the breathable design of the Osprey Poco AG, these packs make it possible to hit the trail with kids who aren’t quite ready to hike on their own. We found ours on Facebook Marketplace for a fraction of the cost, and it’s one of the best decisions we’ve made for enjoying the outdoors as a family.
