I have one for DS, who is not quite 1. I got it because he is just too young to understand, and too squirmy in the pram that he needs to be allowed to walk sometimes. I try to have him hold my hand as well as using the backpack, and he is learning, but I so like the security of the strap.

Dh hated the thought at first but he is a convert now too.

I had my fair share of friends query my use of Monkey Backpack, but seeing us with DS and it they all came round in the end...
