Our mission was to create a beautiful, lightweight baby backpack carrier that would help parents survive everyday life, everywhere. – Kokopax

I wish I had one of these for my kids. But my boys grew so big so fast that carrying them around on my back was just not an option. Mini Me, however is three years old and would probably still fit, at least according to the weight restrictions! My favorite, if I had to choose would be the Hoot fabric. Kokopax also gives back too! They contribute 10% of the proceeds from their organic line to help fund the i-m-perfect foundation, this foundation serves children with special needs.
