How old/What weight is it when you can wear this carrier w/ baby on your back?

I had my little nephew in here (3 months) and he was not a good fit. I would say when they can sit unassisted or closer to a year for back carry.

As soon as your child can sit up independently, he/she is old enough to ride on your back.... usually 5-6 months old.

I don't have an exact answer but I would wait till they have a little head control and as long as you are wearing it the front way

The manual and on the product state that the carrier is not for forward facing infant. You can wear the carrier on your back so the baby would be facing outward.

Our baby is 25lbs now. We hike with her in the carrier. I just looked on the carrier, it's says the max weight is 25lbs.

I agree with the other answers just a pound or two nice and light. Not heavy and awkward like those metal carriers. I purchase this carrier because of the nice shoulder strap. Should help with my back.

Weight limit is 40 lbs. Which means I could carry my four year old if I wanted to - but I would not - I am still carrying my one year old in it and have a new baby coming anytime who will be carried in it. Sorry I do not have a secure answer on the age limit. I think that it really would depend on your child and how long you both feel comfortable wearing and being worn in it.

This is only made to be a front carrier, since the straps cross your back in a "x" pattern. It's so comfortable though, my son is a big boy and I was able to carry him this summer at beach, he was (15mo) slept comfortably in it.

I wouldn't go much below 1 year... The straps go pretty high and it's not really meant for infants. We took our daughter at maybe 10 months on a really slow ride around the block and she was slumping down and not very comfortable. We waited a few months and she loves it.

Here is description from product info: Age/Weight Requirements:8 weeks+ and capacity is 100 pounds, or up to 50 pounds per seat (without use of infant carrier or stored items)

45 lbs. My son is 26 pounds, and is 18 months. There is still plenty of room. It is also very comfortable to carry, and evenly distributes the weight so it is not on your shoulders

My son is almost 4 years old, about 37#, and I wear him in this {back carry}. Highly suggest making sure there is something between your skin and the straps, just a t-shirt, because the straps can get a bit diggy on your skin.

Because the straps cross it would smash your chest. But I have seen guys wear baby on their back. Hip carry might work, but I've never tried. The big wide crossed straps and waist belt make my 25 pound kid feel like nothing, it's a good carrier.

No. It can't use on your back. This baby carrier is only used in front of your face. But you can change your baby position.

I have a 19-lb year-old girl right now, and I am still nursing with the Boppy in this chair. I am not a small person- 5'8" and big, and it works for us.

My baby is 19lbs and 9mos old - I use it at every setting dependent on what he's doing - sleeping or playing. You can also select sit up or lay down position.

I honestly don't know - but my daughter is almost 3 & is 28 lbs. We're both quite comfortable with this stroller even after a year. Hope this helps...

At six months my daughter was still in her carrier. I moved her from the carrier to this, but she's on the small side and was in her carrier until she was almost one. It has just as much cushioning as her carrier did, but I would be worried about it being too big.

I am in the same situation as you and I'm keeping my daughter in it until 40 lbs. then you can take out the 5 pt harness and use it as a booster with a seat belt.
