I have recently become a granddad. So my son and I are looking for a papoose type baby carrier for later in the year. Any suggestions?

A papoose ? I can't help there, but I have used a back carrier ( 6 months and up ) and it has served me impeccably for three kids over 7 years.

If you use the search function there are lots of threads about carriers, come to think of it I did have a vaude front carrier for my youngest but it wasn't any better than most you could get from boots or mothercare.

First of all, congratulations!

Ergo make the best type of baby carrier (Ergobaby); they can be worn with the child at the front, on the side or on your back.

Enjoy.

Simo, let me get this right, you carry three kids (all aged over 7) on a carrier on your back?

That is strength!

No, just 2 on the back, and one on the front sometimes but not for long

I still reckon my Deuter would be up to taking my 7 year old daughter, it's boys you have to watch out for though, they're lazy bleeders.

I have one like:

It works reasonably well. Carries enough for a diaper change, a small ball to kick around and a jacket.
