[blparent] Ways to haul child when traveling

[PICKRELL, REBECCA M (TASC)]

The Ergo is great. It isn't bulky at all. 
There is also the mai tai which you tie on instead of buckling like you would the Ergo. 
There is something else called the Becko (sp?) butterfly carrier. I've never seen one of these, Leanne on this list swears by it.

Have you tried the urgo? It can be worn on the back, and I've successfully
carried a 4 year old in it. It doesn't have a frame, has great support, and
is comfortable for both child and parent.

Currently I have been carrying my daughter in a front facing backpack but
she is starting to become too heavy for it and now we need an alternative
way to get around with her when we go out.  Both her dad and I are totally
blind and travel on buses and walk long distances, so a standard stroller is
out of the question.  The strollers that we have seen have stationary back
wheels and the front ones can swivel so when you pull it behind you the
stroller fishtails all over the place and we don't like the fact she will be
facing away from us.  We need something that can be easily taken on the
buses without being too much of a hassle.  Unfortunately most of the
backpacks for hikers are too big and bulky for bus travel.  Any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.
