Your toddler subconsciously controls the weight you carry, so it is even more important that the backpack feels right. These are the most common problems.
My shoulders are sore
Tighten up the hip belt and release shoulder straps. You should feel that almost all of the weight sits on your hips. Then remove slack from the shoulder straps.
The carrier pulls me backwards
Tighten up the load lifters. If the backpack still pulls, then slightly tighten up the shoulder straps.
The carrier bumps my bottom
Shorten the torso length. One loop can be enough.
My chest feels compressed
Release the sternum strap. It should not be tight.
I feel too much weight on my lower back
Extend the torso length, the hip belt most likely doesn’t sit on your hip bones, but a bit higher.
