What dog backpack carrier is safe for a 20lb senior dog's back?

Question

we have a 20 pound rat terrier mix in excellent health, not overweight. She is 11 yrs old and we were trying to fin d a carrier like a backpack to put her in for our long walks, when she gets tired. There are so many to choose from. I like the ones that we strap on the front of the human, and her legs stick out at the top and bottom just like a real baby. However I am concerned that the position might put too much pressure on her back end. What can you recommend? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 10 years and 4 months old | 21 lbs
