Can baby be worn on my back with this?

Maybe, but i doubt it would be as safe or comfortable as a soft structured carrier or a regular wrap for back carry, and you would defintitely need a helper to get lo on your back safely. The is a sling, not a full wrap. I only felt confortable wearing ds in front carry until he was about 15lbs, and as a hip carry for short periods until about 20 lbs. Having said all that, this carrier was ds's preferred carrier to nap in as a newborn. If you are looking for something to transition better to an older baby/ young toddler, but still help baby feel cradled, a full wrap would be a good choice (however, it's my understanding that they can take a while to get wrapping techniques down).

Sure you can! We have done this with our baby and haven't had any issues. However, just don't leave your baby in it unattended.

No. Try the Ergobaby Four Position 360 Carrier to carry baby front forward facing. I found when baby was old enough to want to see around, hip wearing sufficed, and after that back wearing and he can see over or around my shoulder. Ergobaby is fantastic!

I don't believe you will need anything but it depends on what you are using this for. If for baby to sleep on, no. Infants are suppose to sleep on their backs on firm surfaces. We will be purchasing king size pillow covers to cover the insert so to keep clean the insert.

I'd say yes. Our baby is more than 22 lbs and still rides comfortably in the Ergo (don't recall how long he is) - you may find that as your daughter gets heavier, *you* are more comfortable with her on your back instead of in front (and the side-carry option is nice to switch things out, though I never do that for long periods of time). We still use the Ergo in all three holds with our little guy. :)

It's basically just a large bladder, not particularly designed to wear on your back. You may be able to rig something up with a hydration attachment and daypack, but it would probably be a hassle to get to work right.

It is safe for baby if used correctly in the rear facing position with the infant insert and adjusted to the right shoulder height. Also be sure to stop by a safety expert's facility to make sure it's installed correctly. I used mine from the time he came out of the hospital.

I wouldn't advise doing so. You wouldn't be able to get the head support and secure strap tightening that you'd need for your newborn to be safe.

You're welcome! I understand. You're being cautious of course! Another item I used for all 3 of my babies was a "wedge" that kept the baby on their backs.. Course they can't roll anyway ... BUT it keeps them firmly in place - which is good.. And gives the parents more peace of mind. Good luck!! :)

Yes. There is a belt on the back, you can put it around the back panel. There is a safe belt inside the cover, you can tie it around baby's waist.

I agree, I havent placed baby outward facing on the mei tai and I dont think it would work either.... I usually carry baby on my back.....

When I bought this car because my son was two years, I can not confirm that serves a baby, though the backrest is fully reclining, I'd say no problem but I'm not sure

I'm not sure it can occurs back pain or not, my baby only 4months now, but for surely he likes that !

Yes! I used it both wrapped behind and also cuddling it in front. I'm a little over 38 weeks now and I've abandoned the pillow. It takes too much effort to turn over which needs to happen very often.

I think you could. It is padded, this is an item that we loved, my grand-daughter did not want to lay on her tummy at all but with this she did.

I've only used it with my baby facing inwards. It's one of the most useful baby items I own

I'm. Not a dr. But I. Would say so. It fits on the pelvic area in front and S I joint in rear. That would not hurt a baby besides it has adjustable. Strap.
