The Piggyback Rider® is the last child carrier that you will ever need to buy. It accommodates children once they are able, but unwilling, to walk. Often weighed down by toddlers on their back or shoulders, we became tired of aching backs and stiff necks. However, we were unwilling to part with those precious moments, forever etched in our memory, bonding us with our children.

The Piggyback Rider® was developed to take advantage of the natural instinct to carry a child on your back. The solid aluminum bar allows the child to stand up, which positions the center of mass over your hips. Now, you can walk upright. Child hand holds were placed at two locations on the shoulder straps to remove tiny hands from around your neck. And the child safety harness adds peace of mind, by bonding you and your child.
