Abstract: A versatile carrier is provided having the ability to switch from a configuration being towed behind a user to a configuration being carried on the user's back like a conventional backpack. The carrier is comprised of a frame having a front end and a rear end, a linkage member having a front end and a rear end, a harness, and at least one wheel coupled to the rear end of the frame. The front end of the linkage member is coupled to the harness while the rear end is couple to the frame. The coupling allows the front end of the frame to be supported by the linkage member. The coupling also allows the frame to transfer from the towed position to the user's back with ease and without removal of the carrier from the user.
