Did you alter it in any way or just using it as it is?
One I've ordered I'm really happy to check, review and use but I also have really nice and comfortable old victorinox backpack which I may alter a bit to use for camera purposes...if I get some ideas...

Saw couple of Osprey ones. Really curious how comfortable they are. I'll be happy to hear how you liked them once you get to that store :)
When my backpack arrives I'll make couple of photos and quick review of it. May be helpful for somebody in the future :)

Fortunately I was taking care of my brother and sister when they were wee babies and later. I'm not scared about being parent but about changes which are coming into our life. :) Good changes:)
We're really happy:)
Congratulations for your son!

Thanks for wishes:)
Sounds like I'll have to clean dust off my sewing machine and make couple of alteration to the backpack when it comes to make it more complicated:)

I spoke to my mate who is travelling a lot with his camera and had a chance to take a look at one of his backpacks. Really liked it (just enough space + a bit more for my needs) and found one for pretty decent price so I've just ordered it. K&F Concept (large size). Will update once I get it delivered.

I've used to ride a lot on bike trips years ago so I know how it is to have heavy load on my back when sitting on bicycle. It's perfectly doable (obviously chest/waist straps are a must) and general ergonomy of backpack have to be good - but again as I've mentioned couple of posts before - having young one on the way we may stop those little bike trips very soon so I'm not gonna ride that much with the backpack - still gonna use it for all holidays/trips/commuting when camera must go with me. Much more comfortable than shoulder bags when you have to take much stuff with you...

Thank you for congrats!
Thanks for priceless piece of advice too.
I don't think this cycling thing is going to be regular for very much longer as my missus will probably develop taste for something else quick enough with just sporadic bicycle attacks ;P
Hence I thought it will be good to invest in backpack as I have couple of normal shoulder camera bags already and backpack would be good all rounder.

Thanks! I'm scared but happy to the bottom of my heart. It will be our first :)

I've looked into it. They are really nice indeed - can find some on ebay and amazon for around £89. Think it may be worth to wait a bit and buy something proper like one you showed to me. For now it's every penny on the side for new family member arrival but again once she or he will be with us I'm going to need this backpack even more - no way this child will be left without photographs to flip back when he's (or she) older :lol:

Good point. May consider using my old ex-mil backpack. Didn't think about it!

Thanks for your reply :) I was thinking about something rather small but you may be right...once the small bean comes I may need some space for nappies on top of camera. Might be better to invest in proper backpack now than change it in couple of months because of lack of space...

Good point! I was looking for advice about actual products (don't want one of them cancer causing things if you know what I mean) but I really appreciate your advice and will consider it during my search!

Hi all,
Looking for a bit of advice regarding camera backpacks. As me and my missus are awaiting our very first child she [missus] developed strong taste for bicycle trips [on everyday basis]. I've decided I may as well connect what she wants t do with what I want to do and make some photos during those trips, but here I am stuck with only ''shoulder strap bags'' for cameras and lenses. I'm not going to carry around much of equipment at once so I don't really need huge storage space but camera with lens plus 2-3 lenses on top of that and spare battery would be a perfect backpack size. Now I've been browsing amazon and ebay and there's plenty of different ones to buy (also plenty of them looking the same just having different logos on them) and can't really decide what to buy to not pay too much and have something at least semi decent. Do you guys have any advice regarding this kind of purchase and having in mind that her mood for bicycle trips may evolve into something totally different in no time (hence I'm looking for something priced fairly low).
Thanks for all replies in advance!
