Have you ever been somewhere with your kids and it is inconvenient to bring the stroller, they are too big for a baby carrier, and/or they are whining to be carried? Oh, your aching back and arms! Well, the inventors of the Piggyback Rider have been there too! The Lifshitz brothers, with eight kids between them, created the Piggyback Rider as an easy, safe way for children to ride.

The Piggyback rider is designed for ages 2-7. It weighs 2.3 pounds and comes backpack style. You simply strap in on like a backpack, have your child hop on the back, clip him/her in with the safety harness, and then have him/her “ride the bar”! They simply stand and rest their feet on the metal bar that hangs below them. This designs allows for active transport of a child, with plenty of bonding time, without the problem of legs falling asleep and Dad or Mom hurting his/her back! When folded up, it is the size of a beach towel and comes in its own handy draw-string bag for easy access and transport. This natural and instinctive design allows for a parent to transport his/her child in situations such as crowds, parades, and other travel scenarios where it may not be as convenient for a stroller use, while still allowing a child to have a birds-eye view.
