[quote=Anonymous]When my kids were 1 and 4, I toted the baby around in a metal frame backpack.  That way, the baby got to be "held" but I still had my hands free.  I would tote the baby in the backpack while I put laundry away, vacuumed the house, got dinner ready.  When I went shopping, I preferred the backpack to a stroller.  The baby would watch what I was doing over my shoulder.  Sometimes she would get restless and want out, but generally if I kept moving, she was content.

I had a backpack like this:  https://www.amazon.com/Kelty-Tour-Child-Carrier-Legion/dp/B01N9MVP60/ref=dp_ob_title_sports

They are expensive, but sometimes you can find them at baby consignment shops for around $50.

I liked my backpack so much that I bought backpacks just like it for friends.  Hardly any of them liked them.  They said it hurt their back.

I became a nanny at age 51.  The first family I nannied for, I started when the baby was 7 months old.  I bought a metal frame backpack at a yard sale for $10.  I toted her around in it all the time.  We both loved it.  Her first word was backpack.

Anyway, I was thinking that if you had a backpack, you could put the little one in that, then the 6 year old could go outside and ride his bike or scooter, etc. while you and the baby supervise.  [/quote]
