Wiktionary, the free dictionary.In the United Kingdom, a papoose is a device used to carry a child, similar to a rucksack; unlike rucksacks, papooses can be worn on either the front or the back. Papooses are sometimes considered to be an unsafe way to transport a child, as if the adult trips or falls, the child can be crushed.
