69 BACKPACKS FOR CARRYING KIDS: Are there any success stories out there that involve proper adjustment or a different brand of babypack?

Although it was more expensive, we bought a Tough Traveler backpack.
It easily adjusts between my husband's 6' frame and my 5'2" fame by
tightening/loosening 3 straps (2 shoulder and the hip belt). We bought
this model because it has a regular backpack frame which we thought was
necessary since we were going to hike with our son who is growing like
Clifford the Big Red Dog. (at 12 months: 29 lbs) We've definitely
gotten our money's worth since we both use it for going for walks,
shopping and hiking.

We have a hand-me-down Gerry pack without a hip belt that we used for a
while until Brendan got too heavy to carry on our shoulders. I've never
used an adjustable other than the TT mentioned above.
