Abstract: An improved back pack and shoulder child carrier apparatus including a solid, lightweight constructed child carrier detachably mounted to a horizontal tubular platform on the top portion of a back pack frame structure for a more uniform distribution of the child's weight throughout the upper and lower back of the adult. The majority of the weight being forced toward the upper back due to an improved seat structure having a frontwardly provided saddle bow and a saddle bow collar cutout, the saddle bow also provides added support about the crotch of the child being carried. The minority of the child's weight is then uniformly distributed downwardly to the adult's lower back by the side frame members which extend rearwardly then downwardly towards the lower back of the adult wearer.
