Carrying Babies
…fortunately, no-one is really doing this perfect carry option, but you can patch together a neat enough solution. For framed carriers, we like the look of the Kelty Journey 2.0 and the Sherpani Rumba, to which we would add some Aarn balance pockets to the front if we were hiking for any extended period.

…on the interior and use it as a holder for snacks, water, lens caps, Sour Patch Kids, or trash.

And I think that if you can create designs with that kind of relationship in mind rather than “Oh, it just needs to have all the latest technical frippery on it,” I think that’s something and I think it’s happening.
