RE: Back-pack carrier
I was thinking that, too - babies need pretty good upper body support (close to sitting unassisted) before you can really use a frame backpack carrier.
We got a gently used Tough Traveler off of eBay for 1/3 the price of a new one ($200 new!!) for DH - it is the model for tall people. Both DH and Colin are happy with it!
You really have to try some carriers to see which one fits you best, since the best carrier for one person is the worst for others!
