ABSTRACT:
A child carrier for supporting a child adjacent the back of a hiker's torso comprises a forward portion and a rearward portion. A child compartment is between the forward and rearward portions for receiving a child. A generally rigid frame member is operatively connected to and adjacent the rearward portion of the child carrier. A kickstand having a ground-engageable portion is operatively connected to the frame member via a hinge for pivotal movement of the kickstand relative to the frame member about an axis X. The kickstand is pivotally moveable between a retracted position in which the ground-engageable portion of the kickstand is positioned generally adjacent the frame member, and a propping position in which the ground-engageable portion of the kickstand is positioned away from the frame member. The kickstand, hinge, and frame member are shaped and configured for maintaining at least a minimum spacing between the kickstand and frame member for preventing hands and fingers of the child seated within the child compartment from being pinched between the kickstand and frame member during pivotal movement of the kickstand relative to the frame member.
