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.
