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.

A child carrier for supporting a child adjacent the back of a hiker\s torso comprising: a forward portion having straps engageable with the hiker\s torso for enabling the hiker to tote the child carrier in a hands-free manner; a rearward portion generally rearward of and spaced from the forward portion; a seat portion generally between the forward and rearward portions and operatively connected thereto for supporting a child; a child compartment between the forward and rearward portions and defined at least in part by the seat portion; a generally rigid frame member operatively connected to and adjacent the rearward portion of the child carrier; a kickstand having a ground-engageable portion; a hinge operatively connecting the kickstand to the frame member for pivotal movement of the kickstand relative to the frame member 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 for engaging a generally horizontal surface to prop the child carrier in a generally upright position on said generally horizontal surface when the child carrier is not being worn by the hiker; at least one of the straps of the forward portion being operatively connected to the kickstand so that tensioning of said at least one of the straps causes the kickstand to move to its retracted position.
