Giveaway - Pac Back Hands Free Car Seat Carrier Giveaway
I just received a Pac Back
This Giveaway is now closed. To learn about new giveaways as they become available, please 
Subscribe to our feed
The Pac Back, first featured in our article on Using Car Seat Carriers to get through the Airport and your Flights is essentially a full backpack harness that attaches to your car seat. It includes a padded waist strap and lumbar support to keep you comfortable, yet it is small enough that your car seat should still slide through the x-ray machine as easily as before. The system does not include a cover, so it isn't meant to protect the car seat if you gate check it.
The Pac Back is a great way to keep your hands free (so that you can, for example, push a stroller). When the Pac Back is not in use, it packs flat in its own bag and would slide easily into a carry-on sized rolling bag.
If you'd like a chance to win a Cheeky Monkey Pac Back and Jar Pac leave us a comment below Midnight PST on Wed April 9 and tell us where you plan to go on your next family vacation. If you wish to be contacted by e-mail if you win, please include your e-mail address in your comment (email addresses are never public). Otherwise you must check back here to see if you won.

As I anticipate traveling to Maine from Arizona this summer with a 1 and 3 year old, I have been waiting for these giveaways to begin! Thanks for the opportunity to enter!
J. D. on March 31, 2008 at 3:07 p.m.
We're taking our youngest to Africa next month!! :) Thanks for hosting a giveaway.
Sacha on March 31, 2008 at 5:28 p.m.
We're off on Thursday (yes this Thursday!) to Spain, Belgium and Holland with our 8 month old....too late for this giveaway, but that would be so useful for the next one (Mexico!)
Randi on March 31, 2008 at 8:11 p.m.
We're going to DisneyWorld!
Rene on March 31, 2008 at 8:33 p.m.
To Southern California for some sunshine! We have 5 children under 7, I could use an extra "hand". Thanks for the fun chance!
Lisa S. on March 31, 2008 at 9:37 p.m.
This summer we're going to Italy (Rome, Castellina in Chianti and a little town outstide of Florence called Stibbio) with our 18 mo old daughter. We did a multi-country Europe trip when she was 5 months, but that was with the tiny infant seat. The Cheekey Monkey looks like a great idea!
lisa on April 1, 2008 at 4:58 a.m.
We will be going to Edisto Island in SC
Jay on April 1, 2008 at 8:09 a.m.
In August we're taking our then 15 month old on his first flight to Florida to visit family. This sounds invaluable.
Dawn on April 1, 2008 at 8:17 a.m.
We're headed to Boston in April and Atlanta in May. This would be fabulously helpful! Thanks for a great post and give away!
Jess on April 1, 2008 at 8:22 a.m.
We're road-tripping to Michigan this summer. 1 week with extended family at the cottages we've gone to for over 30 years and 2 weeks tooling around seeing other family. We might also have a trip to Houston in there (not a roadtrip) and the carseat pac would be lifesaver!
Liza on April 1, 2008 at 8:28 a.m.
What a great idea! Especially the lumbar support. We had such a hard time with all our gear during our last trip.
This summer we'll be doing a grandparent tour, DC and Milwaukee.
Teresa on April 1, 2008 at 8:33 a.m.
We are going to Hilton Head with the in-laws! Help! I mean, Hooray!
mayberry on April 1, 2008 at 8:43 a.m.
We are going to San Francisco and I am dying to try this product!
Neil on April 1, 2008 at 9:14 a.m.
We'll be going to New Hampshire for two weeks of being completely unreachable, then Mexico in November.
Sara on April 1, 2008 at 9:42 a.m.
Our next trip is to Philadelphia for a "meet-the-family" vacation. Most of my family has not yet met my new daughter.
K 3 on April 1, 2008 at 10:33 a.m.
ooooooooooo ... this sounds great! Sounds perfect for my boy ... We will be going off to Disneyland in May, then to Brussels, later in the year!
Heather on April 1, 2008 at 11:08 a.m.
We're going camping at the coast.
K Giacoletti on April 1, 2008 at 11:09 a.m.
We're flying from Philly to Seattle for a family wedding, then from Seattle to St. Pete, FL to leave our daughter with her grandparents while we fly back to Philly and then drive to MA for a vacation on our own.
Kate on April 1, 2008 at 11:14 a.m.
We're going to the central coast of California. What a great product!
ladygoat on April 1, 2008 at 11:16 a.m.
Florida, for a week of total relaxation.
Jen on April 1, 2008 at 11:43 a.m.
My husband, two year-old and I are meetin gup with old friends in Park City, Utah for some hiking, shopping and sunshine.
Marsha on April 1, 2008 at 12:16 p.m.
Our next trip involving an airplane will likely be one to Illinois to visit family.
Jan on April 1, 2008 at 12:16 p.m.
We're off to Vermont, our favorite drivable vacation spot. Cabin in the woods, near a swimmable lake. Can't come soon enough.
Sara on April 1, 2008 at 12:31 p.m.
Our next flying trip will be to Santa Fe with a 16-month-old!
Shoppin Momma on April 1, 2008 at 12:52 p.m.
We hope to do Disneyland this fall. If not there, we'll be off to the great state of Texas (again)! We just can't stay away.
Caramae on April 1, 2008 at 2:43 p.m.
We have 3 weddings to go to with a 2 year old and baby this year, all of which are out of the country.... arghh. The extra harness would sure be helpful!
Michelle on April 1, 2008 at 3:45 p.m.
We're heading to Nashville next month to visit friends...what amazing timing on this prize!
Chris on April 1, 2008 at 5:31 p.m.
We'll be taking our new baby to visit her grandma in Taiwan for the first time. She'll be one by the time we visit and we will be celebrating grandma's 100th birthday!
Jennifer on April 1, 2008 at 6:12 p.m.
My parents, sister, husband and I will be taking our 15 month old son on a Baltic Sea cruise with Holland America. We will be going to Norway, Denmark, Russia, Sweden, Berlin etc. Not a relaxing one!!
Reiza on April 1, 2008 at 6:28 p.m.
We're hoping to go to the East Coast this winter.
Sharon on April 1, 2008 at 6:32 p.m.
We plan to go to Texas and Florida in September with our daughter, who will be 19 months old at the time.
Joyce on April 1, 2008 at 8:01 p.m.
NYC for my step-sister's wedding, in June.
Meg on April 1, 2008 at 8:06 p.m.
We leave one week from today for Bali and Hong Kong with our 16 month old daughter. After a tough first year of traveling, we hope to work out the rest of the kinks so we can continue exploring new places.
Nancy on April 2, 2008 at 4:44 a.m.
This is a brilliant idea! Our next trip is back to NJ from Ireland. We live in Ireland but are moving back to USA in about 8 months. What I could've done with that carseat for the last 2 journies!
Thanks
Nancy on April 2, 2008 at 5:32 a.m.
TESTIMONIAL: I have owned this Pac Back for almost three years (it was a replacement for a different carrier that barely survived only one travel trip). It is PERFECT! Lots of cushioning on the shoulder straps, extremely easy to hookup to the carseat, very strong and durable (I've had no worry about it breaking/tearing/coming apart)! HIGHLY recommend this - a MUST - for everyone travelling.
(no, I do not work for the manufacturer - I simply LOVE LOVE LOVE this product and believe it's truly one of the the best products out there.)
Sam on April 2, 2008 at 6:05 a.m.
We are heading to Florida and given our challenges last time (rain, shoe removal and inspection by security at every opportunity, nightmare lines at airport security, canceled flight), this would be a lovely item to have. Thank you!
Sonia on April 2, 2008 at 6:12 a.m.
We're planning on going to Florida for two weeks in August with our 2 year old. In the past we always used the infant carrier, but he has, of course, outgrown it. This is perfect! Much better than the awkward car seat bags!
Shani on April 2, 2008 at 6:30 a.m.
We're taking our second annual trip to the Jersey Shore in June. Last year, the airline lost our 2 car seats. (It was our first time traveling by airplane with our toddlers, and we checked the seats in with the luggage because they were too heavy to carry) The Pac Back would have saved us a lot of headaches & having to buy 2 new carseats!
Blanca on April 2, 2008 at 7:38 a.m.
We're going to Utah in May, but we travel to Spain every Christmas to visit our family. This is a great idea for us.
Elif on April 2, 2008 at 7:43 a.m.
We are headed to Turkey for a few weeks with our 13 month old and this sounds fantastic. Toting the infant seat was so much easier than the convertible. Thanks!
TaMi on April 2, 2008 at 7:55 a.m.
Definitely a lot easier to carry the seat than a bag version! Otherwise, OH MY ACHING BACK!
Melanie on April 2, 2008 at 8:54 a.m.
Well, my parents are taking the extended family to the Jersey Shore in August. But we're talking about a trip to Montreal before then! My daughter (14 months) and I are heading to Boston for Passover though, and I'm going to try the go go kidz travelmate. I think this Pac Back might be the better route though.
Kathryn on April 2, 2008 at 9:07 a.m.
Heading to Southern CA to visit the grandparents
Pam on April 2, 2008 at 9:16 a.m.
"Oh, The Places I'll Go". First, to Colorado (two kids 3.5 and 21 months), then to Florida. Where next? Who knows?! Would love to have the Pac Back for assistance.
Jane on April 2, 2008 at 10:08 a.m.
We're headed to California to get some sunshine. We've used the straps on the carseat to make it into a pseudo-backpack, but boy is it uncomfortable. This looks like a better solution.
Chris Irvin on April 2, 2008 at 10:28 a.m.
Traveling to Kauai with my almost two year old in June (first vacation with him!) an would to try one of these out.
Jamie on April 2, 2008 at 10:29 a.m.
Wow, all the places people are traveling to! I have a case of travel envy.
We are definitely going to San Francisco for our first family vacation with the 2 year old, but also have some upcoming trips to NC and FL to see family...I've been wondering what we would do to juggle the carseat and kid!
Amy on April 2, 2008 at 10:37 a.m.
We are off to Hawaii for a week in August for my sister-in-law's wedding. I think this item would be wonderful for our trip!
NikiGee on April 2, 2008 at 11:09 a.m.
I will be taking my 7 month old daughter for her first plane trip from DC to Dallas all by my self.
Tracy on April 2, 2008 at 2:25 p.m.
This is *so* what we need for our cross-country trip next month.
marjorie on April 2, 2008 at 3:34 p.m.
What a great product- I recently saw someone with one and it looked vastly easier than how I carry carseats in the airport- upside down on my head. Yeah. I know how cool I am. (But hey, you aren't supposed to carry them by the straps!) Our next family trip will be to San Antonio to see family!
Becky on April 2, 2008 at 3:55 p.m.
This would rock when we visit my sister in AZ from PA.
Thanks for sharing!
Jenie on April 2, 2008 at 5:16 p.m.
Alaskan cruise! =)
Andi on April 2, 2008 at 11:40 p.m.
This summer we will be taking our 10 month old daughter to Romania to be baptized. Two plane rides and a 7 hour car ride later, we will be there. This website (which I found from a link at urban mamas) is a wonderful resource.
Shannon on April 3, 2008 at 4:39 a.m.
We (my husband and daughter and I)are planning to visit our entire family in North Dakota from Indiana. It really is peaceful, beautiful and gorgeous up there, so we really look forward to it. Not many travel to there, so any help we can get with traveling practically is wonderful!! Thank you!! Shannon
Patti on April 3, 2008 at 5:41 a.m.
We are planning on flying to Connecticut to visit my brother and his family. I can't wait for my kids to meet MORE cousins!!
Rebecca on April 3, 2008 at 5:47 a.m.
We are traveling to New Mexico in the spring and New York later on. My husband would love me!
Tiffany on April 3, 2008 at 5:57 a.m.
We plan to go to Ohio to visit my husbands grandmother who is in her 90's so that she will get to be with all her grandkids and greatgradnkids one last time.
Bree on April 3, 2008 at 6:05 a.m.
We are planning on moving to SC this summer, so our next mini-vacation will be there- to house hunt!!
Naomi on April 3, 2008 at 6:24 a.m.
We'll be going to a family reunion/graduation party this summer for sure in Michigan with a 4 year old and the baby will be almost a year. So we'll need this for sure!
Carissa on April 3, 2008 at 7:04 a.m.
We are flying to California with our three kids and this would be a great help in getting all the gear through the airport.
Christina W on April 3, 2008 at 7:20 a.m.
This summer we are headed to our hometown to meet our newest nephew, and get in some time with the rest of our tribe! (I made a firm stand that this year we'd spend Christmas at home so we could go somewhere special on our family vacation; but then my sis-in-law had a baby. The best-laid plans, I guess) Though I believe that we are going to include an Ashram trip as well - so I guess there's nothing wrong with a little spiritual communing in the Sierras, lol. The Pac Bac would be a handy item to have, as it would allow us to gate-check a car seat, and allow us one more luggage item. (A baby, toddler, big-man, and more-is-better me = LOTS of luggage!)
rachel on April 3, 2008 at 7:23 a.m.
We have family all over the country. We plan on visiting my parents in Arizona soon.
marilyn on April 3, 2008 at 7:32 a.m.
Wish I could claim an exotic locale but...we're headed to Indianapolis Indiana. My cuddilicious 1 year old is too big for the stroller\carseat combos that we used when he was itty bitty.
LN on April 3, 2008 at 7:33 a.m.
Whoa. This is ingenious. About time someone thought up this idea!
ashley on April 3, 2008 at 7:38 a.m.
traveling back home to see my grandpa before he passes.
Katie on April 3, 2008 at 7:38 a.m.
We'd love to win this! Our next trip is to Nashville, and we're just driving, but for Thanksgiving we'll be flying to CA to spend the holiday with family, and this would really come in handy. Thanks for the chance to win!
Anne on April 3, 2008 at 7:40 a.m.
We'll be going to Minnesota to visit the family in a month. We desperately need some kind of airport solution!
Martha W. on April 3, 2008 at 7:48 a.m.
My daughter in law and son plan to go to the New Jersey shore this year and will be taking 3 little ones, ages 1,4,7 and I'm sure she'd appreciate her mother in law if I were able to win her this. 2 children on vacation are a challange but the third really makes it tough.

Lisa Z on April 3, 2008 at 7:54 a.m.
My husband is returning to Iraq in the coming months so we'll be flying back home in South Texas next month before he leaves.
Tuesday on April 3, 2008 at 8:11 a.m.
We will go and visit the in laws in Florida!
cassie on April 3, 2008 at 8:27 a.m.
Texas! Of all places, we're going to texas to see my brother. With a four year old and twin infants, this would be a lifesaver.
Lindsie on April 3, 2008 at 8:29 a.m.
Our next family vacation will be from New York to Alaska to visit some friends up there! This would come in handy!
Becca on April 3, 2008 at 8:40 a.m.
My daughter and I are leaving this afternoon, actually. We're flying to Salt Lake City for a friend's wedding. Since my husband's not coming with us I REALLY wish I had this pac back for this trip. But we're going to Corpus Christie next month. Maybe we can use it then!
Ruth on April 3, 2008 at 8:56 a.m.
We're headed to Florida to visit family and hit Disney - this looks like it woudl be sooo helpful!
Noreen on April 3, 2008 at 9:18 a.m.
visit my sister in Denver, I would really use this
Ann on April 3, 2008 at 9:22 a.m.
Well, after 2.5 long years we're finally going back home to visit our family in Belgium and in England in the summer. To do so we go through a couple of airports there and back so this would come as a treat!! With 3 kids there's only so much you can carry. Thanks for the great give away.
mama4jc on April 3, 2008 at 9:43 a.m.
We are seriously contemplating a trip back to Taiwan for the kiddies to see their great grandparents this summer. It's a daunting trip with a 22 hour flight and mega time changes! I'm a bit apprehensive...:P But we know it will be really good! :)
JenO on April 3, 2008 at 10:35 a.m.
We'll be going to KS this Christmas with our baby, it will be her first vacation!
Debbie M on April 3, 2008 at 10:59 a.m.
We're heading to San Francisco for a week at the end of this month. This would be so helpful!
Lo on April 3, 2008 at 12:01 p.m.
Our next vacation is to California (and we're East Coasters) so boy, oh boy, could we use this! Thanks for the opportunity.
Mary @ Adventures in Mommyland on April 3, 2008 at 12:27 p.m.
We plan on going to Mexico next, maybe Cancun or something. Great giveaway, thanks!
Sarah on April 3, 2008 at 12:52 p.m.
I've taken so many trips to California since my daughter was 10 months that I can't count! and toting her carseat around is very difficult! This is awesome!
Ellie on April 3, 2008 at 1:39 p.m.
Our next family vacation will probably be to the Oregon Coast. Just a few hours from homw, but so much fun!
Leanna on April 3, 2008 at 2:45 p.m.
We go to Florida every year to visit my folks who spend the winter there.
Alex in OC on April 3, 2008 at 4:16 p.m.
We frequently visit family in Arizona. Plus we're fantasizing about seeing friends in OR & the CA Bay Area. Thanks for the chance!
artsweet on April 3, 2008 at 4:47 p.m.
Our next family vacation will be across the country to California to see relatives - so this would be a big help!
kelli on April 3, 2008 at 5:45 p.m.
We're going to Oregon and South Dakota to visit relatives.
Sherry on April 3, 2008 at 6:28 p.m.
Disney World ... this would be a lifesaving extra set of hands so to speak. *crossing fingers*
Danielle S on April 3, 2008 at 7:12 p.m.
Such an awesome giveaway! We'd love to have this for our travels to visit family out of the country!
dansan826 at yahoo.com
Court on April 3, 2008 at 8:22 p.m.
next up is Chicago in July!
sherry g. on April 3, 2008 at 9:57 p.m.
Since we're having our second baby in June, we figured a family cruise to the Caribbean might be easiest. We've never been on a cruise before, but it seems like it would be ideal for grandparents and babies alike!
Jessica B. on April 3, 2008 at 10 p.m.
I will be 7 months pregnant in June when we take our 15 month old on a trip from Oregon to North Carolina to visit his grandpa for the first time. This is our "test flight" since we are moving to Indonesia in July. A device like this is just what my husband needs to carry the carseat!
kira on April 4, 2008 at 5:04 a.m.
we will be heading to Miami next month!
Tricia on April 4, 2008 at 7:01 a.m.
We are going to...Buffalo, NY!!
michelle t on April 4, 2008 at 3:24 p.m.
we are going to new orleans, la.
Luann on April 4, 2008 at 3:41 p.m.
We're off to Alaska this summer and would love to have one of these items - nothing beats up your car seat faster than dragging it through the airport perched on top of your suitcase from which it keeps tipping off and onto the floor...
stacey moore on April 4, 2008 at 4:59 p.m.
this would be great to win!! we are hoping to go back to Disney soon!! thanks so much!!
lisa on April 4, 2008 at 9:35 p.m.
we would love these... we plan to go to RI for the girls christening... and with twins... anything that at least frees 1 of the 20 arms i have would be much apreciated...lol
Elizabeth Cowen on April 6, 2008 at 6:03 a.m.
We will be flying to PA and NY this June. Our niece is having her 12th birthday, graduation, and communion party. This would be great.
Madonnalisa on April 6, 2008 at 12:40 p.m.
We're hoping to visit Grandma and other relatives in the Philippines and Hong Kong in the fall, our LO will be 10-11 months by then and we're getting her ready for the long haul flight with flights to LA/SD and NY/IL sometime in the next couple of months.
Laura Leslie on April 6, 2008 at 1:55 p.m.
We're flying to Boise Idaho the first week of May. I have a 3 year old and a 2 month old and I'm dreading dealing with both my son's infant seat and my daughters LARGE car seat made for a 3 year old. I was thinking about buying a dolly, but this sounds like a much better option. Gives me the 2 hands I will so need to make the long trek from Florida to Boise.
codeCrafter on April 7, 2008 at 12:03 p.m.
Oh we so need one of those! My husband is from Jamaica so we go there at least once a year some years twice. When my son was in the infant seat it was hard enough but our last trip with the toddler seat was a nightmare! It was so awkward to carry and our seat is really heavy. We have a minimum of 2 layovers on the trip and often was go through O'Hare...
Gretchen on April 8, 2008 at 2:58 p.m.
We plan on a trip to Chicago this summer to met up with families we met while adopting our son from Kazakhstan. We are also planning our second adoption which should occur this summer as well and we will need to travel for that too. We won't know where until we are matched. We could really use this back pack carrier.
sourpuss on April 8, 2008 at 3:32 p.m.
We're flying from LA to NYC (my hometown!)
Alyssa C. on April 8, 2008 at 9:26 p.m.
Hi Debbie! Great website! We are taking the baby on his 1st out of the country trip to Costa Rica. Looking forward to some warm & sunny weather, as we are sick of winter by now!
Valerie on April 8, 2008 at 9:41 p.m.
We are flying from NY to LA at the end of the month. It will be baby's first flight, and boy is mommy nervous!
Brooke on April 9, 2008 at 6:23 a.m.
We'll be taking the kids to LA for the first time. I could really use this.
Jen on April 9, 2008 at 10:23 a.m.
We will be travelling to exotic india in the summer and would love this giveaway. Thanks
Helene on April 9, 2008 at 10:39 a.m.
We're going to Philipsburg Montana this summer to visit my mother! She lives on the border of a national forest so this will be another opportunity for me to show my nearly-2-year old son all the great gifts of Mother Nature!
I personally am dreading the layover in Salt Lake City!
Avonlea on April 9, 2008 at 11:12 a.m.
We are leaving in 9 days for a vacation to Hawaii with our 22 month old. This is his first flight and first trip to the ocean.
Tidmore on April 9, 2008 at 12:03 p.m.
Our next vacation is actually a move. We're going from California to Austin, Texas.
Brit on April 9, 2008 at 12:35 p.m.
We are headed to Orlando in June to go to Disneyland and this would be perfect!!!!
Salina on April 9, 2008 at 5:32 p.m.
We're taking our 5 month daughter to Puerto Rico to celebrate my 36th Bday in June... YAY!! Can't wait for fun & sun!!
Elizabeth M. on April 9, 2008 at 5:38 p.m.
We're headed to New York City this fall!
Michelle Rosborough on April 9, 2008 at 6:49 p.m.
Going to Miami at the end of this month
Sophie H on April 9, 2008 at 7:43 p.m.
We're going to Costa Rica in a couple of weeks with our little Marguerite, 11 months!
Carmel B on February 27, 2009 at 1:07 p.m.
I'm traveling eith my one and three year olds to Ireland in May alone. I'm very nervous about it....
Kristin Kocher on March 29, 2009 at 7:42 p.m.
I'm taking my 1 year old (by myself) cross country to San Diego to visit my brother who is a marine pilot serving out there. This would be a great help as flying alone with a little one will be a bit tough. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your contest!
TaylorSwift on August 13, 2015 at 6:13 a.m.
We're going to Philipsburg Montana this mid year to visit my mom! She lives on the fringe of a national backwoods so this will be another open door for me to demonstrate my almost 2-year old child all the considerable blessings of Mother Nature!
