We decided on a combination of shoulder straps and a wrap in order to most effectively distribute the load. The wrap goes around the head and hips, keeping the load close to the body and above the center of gravity. The wrap ties around the hips so that the bulk of the weight is anchored on the strongest part of the body. The head wrap acts as a brace, improving posture and keeping the weight distributed evenly.In this model, there are wooden dowels folded into the back of the carrier to act as a frame. However, for our final model we decided this was an unnecessary feature.
