Why would someone get a baby carrier backpack like Osprey and not use something much lighter like an ergo carrier?
I am really wondering whether I need to buy a proper backpack or whether my ergo carrier is enough?
In which circumstances people prefer to carry their baby/toddler on their back for a long walk and why wouldn't they just have the baby in an appropriate stroller for all terrains?
Any insight would be very welcome as I am puzzling whether I need one or it's a marketing thing.
