How old is too old to wear a backpack to an amusement park?

I don't see backpacks as safe. What's to prevent someone from deftly getting into your backpack while standing on line, for instance?

If I were carrying a baby, you can be sure that backpack would be hanging off my chest, not my back.

If you feel comfortable wearing one you should. Never to old.

For me, there is no age limit for most things, including wearing a backpack. I recently bought the GiLI one, and I'm 43 and plan on using it often. I also travel and feel more secure using a backpack rather than a purse. In regards to an amusement park, I think it's a great idea as you don't want to lose your personal belongings from your pockets. I live in Florida, and most people carry backpacks while visiting tourist attractions. It keeps your hands free!!! Have fun😀

Better than a backpack - the Healthy Back Bag. Took all over Disney World. It comes in several style variations and sizes.

Thanks everyone. It just seems like a sensible thing to do but wondered if it would be out of my age bracket. Guess now I have to go look to buy a backpack.

I don't think a backpack is more secure either, anyone behind you could access it inline or a crowded area.

For security a crossbody is better, but if you want to carry a bunch of stuff I can see that a backpack is better.

Some places have restrictions on bringing in a backpack as well.

Age not an issue.

On Shawn Killinger's facebook page she was using a backpack. It appeared to be a canvas or heavy cotton. Does anyone know where this style can be purchased?. It would be so much lighter then a leather backpack. Unfortunately Shawn does not answer some questions asked of her. Appreciate all of you. Friends on board always want to help each otherMany thanks

If anyone wanted anything out of our backpack, they'd be really unhappy.. We carry our pads, for sitting on the curb for the parades, shoes, water, food, and nothing that would amount to a hill of beans.. plus they'd have to dig deep and that would pull on hubby's back..

Why ever wait for a host, or the general audience of Q posters, to answer?

Just go to Amazon.com and search for canvas backpacks; also, twill backpacks.

Then, filter by 'Avg. Customer Review' (& anything else you want) on the lower left side.

Easy. 8-)

I sincerely appreciate your taking the time to help me. Unfortunately. not able to find this particular style. Did not appear to be heavy. A sincere thank you.

Love my backpack, it has a locked zipper on the outside and the 2 zippers close to my body have the click carabiners on them. Both straps are anti-cut, made of canvas.

Mine came from e-bags. Spoiler alert - nope, you won't see haute Europeans wearing this, but it is very serviceable.

There is no age limit; you see tons of adults sporting back packs at amusement parks. Actually, everywhere you go. Although, personally I wouldn't be caught dead with a back pack unless I was travelling and the backpack was in lieu of a suitcase.
