3 Travel-Friendly Totes for Tots


The Deuter KangaKid ($129; shown at right, deuterusa.com for stores) might look like a backpack, but it opens to reveal a harness that buckles around your child and has support straps for his legs. A removable pad inside even lets you change diapers on the fly. Available only in color shown; holds up to 30 pounds (size: 21" x 12" x 9").

For easy stowing
Evenly distribute the weight across
your back and shoulders with the
padded straps of the BabyBjörn Baby
Carrier Air ($100; babyswede.com for stores). The whole
thing folds up to the size
of a softball, and its mesh
material keeps you from
getting sweaty. Available in
three colors; holds babies
from 8 to 25 pounds
(size: 11.25" x 10.25" x 3").
For outdoor adventures
Five security straps and an additional
waist belt on the Sherpani Rumba
Superlight ($166; sherpani.us) mean your little tyke will
stay snug no matter how
steep or rocky the terrain
gets. A cover is included to
protect your child's face
from the sun, wind, and
rain. Available in five colors;
holds up to 55 pounds
(size: 12" x 30" x 12").
