    you can take a pretty good guess as to who has kids just by going over the comments… i think the photo’s pretty funny. (yep, i don’t have any kids)

    • CarpoolMom says:

      I have kids, one with autism, and we do liscenced foster care and I think it’s hilarious!

    • Manda says:

      I have kids, and I think it’s great. All parents have that moment of panic with their kids- and I suspect this dad would feel it if the kid actually began to climb out. It isn’t as easy as people suspect- if possible at all.

      • Nicole says:

        I have kids, I’m giggling hilariously but it’s only funny in theory, not funny if the babe really got hurt!

  2. Laura says:

    Ahhggg! – the vertigo combined with the flat-out scariness of this photo is really making my stomach churn!

  3. Lucy says:

    Definitely a heart stopping photo. I’m pretty sure Mom smacked the crud out of Dad when she saw it.

  4. gruven_reuven says:

    I can’t look at this picture!!!!

  5. Des says:

    OMG….that is scary (yep your right the ones w/kids would find this disturbing…I have a 5yr old lol).

  6. maridon says:

    It really frightens me to see that baby hanging out of the backpack like that…

  7. Erica says:

    I know that the baby’s probably very securely fastened in his carrier, but the mom in me is so nervous even looking at this picture. Yikes!

  8. joe says:

    Is that Quinten Tarantino?

  9. Bree says:

    Oh my! What over-reactions! I have a child, and have worn him in many different style carriers, all of which have been safe. Child carriers are very safe when used properly. This child is just turned around at the waist, and the backside of the carrier, probably comes up under his armpits. It would take quite a bit for that kid to kid get out of there. There was probably also some sort of strapping system inside the carrier that isn’t visible in the photo. My son is the king of speedy escapes, so I understand that children can be fast, but my goodness people!! The photo is funny and gloriously awkward!

  10. Raz says:

    I like the excitement and pose that the mom contributes to the photo.

  11. Snowrider says:

    I just love the wonderful tension that this photo provides! It’s like you can go away for a while, come back to it a few hours later…and…yep…the little kid’s still teetering on the egde.

  12. Ali A says:

    Well, that made me uncomfortable. I don’t have any kids, but I can’t imagine ever having the need to carry a child on my back.. and in public! Oh wait… and a kajillion feet up. Awkward, yes. Messed up beyond belief? Definitely.

  13. Dan says:

    I’m single/childless and I find this pic scary and disturbing!

  14. jaclyn says:

    that man looks JUST like my dad. twins?

  15. thom says:

    The next thing you know, 6 year old boys will be flying 10,000′ feet in the sky in Colorado in huge helium balloons and disappear from the gondola. :)

  16. Donna says:

    I’m a mother and I know I really shouldn’t but…

    HA HA HA!

    I’m just basking in the glow of this family’s awkwardness.

  17. dono1 says:

    Now we know why they named him Cliff.

  18. AwkWerrrd says:

    So that’s how Tarantino dresses in off-season… and HOLY WOW -> that hand!

  19. Herne says:

    “Now where has that baby got to again??” This photo is just so funny!! =)

  20. Mark says:

    I love the parent who said, “they are perfectly safe when use correctly.” Would one of the ways of using incorrectly be dangling it over a waterfall with a kid in it?

  21. Saintlover says:

    I had one of these back pack type things for my son when he was little, there is a ’seat belt” type thing inside that straps them to the “seat” in there, unless the pack comes off his back, that kid isn’t coming out. Its darn near impossible to unfasten the kid and get them out when you want them out.

  22. Quentin says:

    He doesn’t look like me. He looks like Harrison Ford.

    As far as danger, this isn’t even in the same ballpark with letting your kids play football.

  23. Bethany says:

    Des…if you had a kid..you would not talk like that. You’re probably some 11 year old trying to be funny.

  24. Nams says:

    Oh my god. I think this is my cousin and her husband!

  25. Gordon says:

    The most scary part of this photo is the question of what Pops is doing with his right hand… seems he’s the one holding on for life! Maybe this Harry Potter wanna-be could have magic-wanded the kid to safety anyway.

  26. Sasha says:

    I’m not a mom.. but I can barely stand to look at this.

  27. LOOKIN says:

    HOLY TOT TOSSIN BATMAN!

  28. Schue says:

    ” It’s very simple Mr. Bond. All I have to do is press the ejector button in my pocket and… Bye bye baby…”

  29. TMB says:

    THIS PICTURE SCARES THE STUFFING OUT OF ME.ONE WRONG MOVE AND GOODBYE BABY

  30. Ann says:

    Kid survived. Now in college. What I want to know is, where’s the third one? He’s missing. Did he already go over?

  31. lynny says:

    I think it’s hilarious, but my heart did drop just looking at it. It is terrifying as well!

  32. Samantha says:

    I’m 15 and child-less and this picture makes me so nervous!

  33. Carole says:

    HA-HA I’d say this shot trumps Michael Jackson’s “Blanket.” Wait, where’s the paparattzi?
