I think someone made a baby carrier in the last year or two. Seems like they were doing it for a novelty for the .MIL dads to play around with. I can't remember who it was, but they stopped selling them because of the product liability of that type thing.
I used a Baby Bjorn a lot when my little boy was...uh...littler.  My diaper bag/spare clothes bag is still an escape and evasion bag, so I was able to get a little tactical with that.CHRIS |

Can you just dress the kid in velcro loops & have a velcro hook vest? Even works for toddlers, "Behave, or Daddy will glue you to his chest."

No. Rethink your plan from A to Z and stop considering this as an option. At all. Period. If you are wearing your PC because of real need, you should be putting space between the kiddo and yourself. If you are wearing the kiddo, you should be putting space between you and danger. Period. |

I think you would have better luck with a purpose designed baby carrier/diaper and accessories bag combo. Putting your kids on a PC is ridiculous.

as a custom gear maker - I STOP all inquiries to this end. not to mention I will laugh and tell others about you query
But seriously, there is a strict liability issue, combined with CPSC concerns, ergonomic factors, functionality and load distribution. Lets put it another way, when a larger manufacturer puts up the idea, and then within hours retracts said idea... thats a clue. you are FAR BETTER off with a purpose designed soft baby carrier ( carries baby FACING YOU ) |

Man... I'm glad I've got thick skin.
And I'm not trying to use baby as soft armor, nor stomp around with plates and 3A in. I have to say I enjoy the sense of humor though. If I think I need my armor were getting the hell out of dodge. Really though, a modular platform for carrying kid and crap hands free seems like a stellar idea to me. Hell, even if it was a pre configured getup like those shit cross draw vests, as long as it had cup holders I'm in. I've succumbed to the minivan....I NEED CUPHOLDERS. But yeah, her friend was not boding well. We had to intervene a couple of times when her 3yo decided to bolt. And for some unknown reason the wife refuses to put the kids on a leash. They make kid leashes for a reason. Also no spanking so the old fallback of "run off again and I'll whoop that butt" is out. Between diaper bag and daddy bag and backpacks I damn near need a second stroller just to push the crap we haul around. We must plan for every. possible. contingency. 3% chance of rain next Tuesday? Better pack effing rain gear. They might do something adorable? Better pack a photo studio. I'm going about this all wrong. I need a Sherpa. |

You need to separate your reality of being a dad from your fantasy of being a ninja commando.

Despite what all the cool kids and the many many posters who lack any kind of reading comprehension say, this IDEA isn't nearly as blasphemous as it is being made out to be. He didn't state he wants to use the plate carrier as a plate carrier so he can throw the baby on there and get into a gun fight with nazi zombies. Just that he wanted to entertain the idea of using the carrier as a platform that does the job the better than what he currently uses. I don't have a baby thus no baby carrier, but I imagine there are baby carriers out there that do exactly what he wants without the need for a plate carrier. With that said, if he can set it up to carry baby efficiently while carrying all of his other baby supplies on his person within easy reach and it makes his life easier, is using the PC as a base platform really that bad? It wouldn't be the first time something was designed for one purpose, but filled another quite well. It's not like the tacticool gods are going to strike you down because you put a sippy cup in a mag pouch is it?
OP, if you can make it work well, it is cost effective for you, and you don't mind any negative attention it brings from the people around you, I don't see why it wouldn't be worth a try. I have my doubts as to you being able to fulfill the criteria I listed (carrying the baby efficiently mostly) but if it is something you want to try, try it. I personally don't see why getting something like the one pictured below wouldn't do the job better, but hey, whatever floats your boat. 
ETA: I think the real idea here is to have someone design a front and back baby carrier vest that allows you to switch pockets around. PC gave you the idea, but PC likely isn't the best way to execute the idea. |

PC gave you the idea, but PC likely isn't the best way to execute the idea. Thank you! Finally someone gets it. I'm not saying that I'd load up my CIRAS with baby and gear, but starting with something like a simple chest rig with integrated bib, once everything is set up you're not really going to look like you're about storm Toys-R-Us. Very little webbing would be seen. I think everyone is envisioning me strolling down the street in full Crye load out for some reason but I'd stick to black to more closely emulate a traditional carrier. That baby pack is actually very similar to what I had in mind albeit backwards. I'll have to go check out their products. If it weren't for the lack of time, and initiative, I'd be half tempted to just break out the sewing machine and get busy. It really wouldn't take much to add a little webbing here and there to something just to have some additional storage by way of a couple add on pouches. Hell, an admin or IFAK and a couple of pouches for sippy cups on the front of most any baby carrier would be a vast improvement. We'll now return you to your regularly scheduled program. As for me, since I'm apparently the most operator Jason Bourne ninja tacticool daddy in existence, I'm going to kit up using my children as human shields (they're LVL II fyi) and go clear the food court at the mall. I hear some cats at Panda Express have been taken hostage and their captors refuse to negotiate. |

I got what you were saying. Almost had the ladies at work make me one up. I was just pointing out that someone had already done it, as a manufacturer. And that it was pulled because selling the thing as a baby carrier had a ton of liability and registration/testing with it. So, you won't find a regular nylon gear manufacturer that will mess with that.
You can always have someone sew one up for you (if they will) or sew it yourself. Those will be your two options. CHRIS |

In fairness, I have to disclose that despite my snarkiness, Gene Higdon sent me a tactical diaper bag after my second daughter was born. It later became the Moose pack and to this day is the best single piece of anything Cordura that I own.
