Sherpani Rumba Backcountry Kid Carrier

Sherpani made the Rumba Backcountry Kid Carrier with an adjustable, unisex suspension system that fits 16 to 22-inch torso sizes. Plus, you can make micro-adjustments on the fly, so you don't need to go through five minutes of on-again, off-again action. A topper sunshade and tuck-away windows protect your kid from sun, wind, and rain, while the pop-off day pack doubles as a diaper bag or a toddler's school pack. The Rumba's five-point chest plate prevents your child from getting into those slouchy, horridly-uncomfortable-looking positions, while baby stirrups help keep blood flowing in your little one's legs.

Bottom Line: The adjustable Rumba Backcountry Kid Carrier keeps you and your kid comfortable on hikes and all-day adventures.

great child carrier

looked at this vs the other options from kelty and deuter. What sold me was 2500cu in. I am able to carry my child, and three days worth of gear for my child, my wife, and myself. It is easy to rig up some external straps for extra storage by using the little plastic rings on the bottom of the detachable kids backpack. The only thing I am not able to carry is my food and water. I'm 6'1" and the suspension is maxed out. The rain cover has a defect in the stitching, but I will be contacting sherpani to see if I can get it replaced. It can carry up to 70lbs

I used a back carrier for a while with my daughter. She is now 3 years old, 35 pounds, and 3ft 1 inch. I am really skeptical about making a purchase and finding out that it's just as good as the one she outgrew. So, can anyone answer if a long preschooler (not infant or toddler) can truly go on a hike or walk with one of these and not have their feet fall asleep, be uncomfortable (especially with length), and not have it hurt the person carrying it? This is where we are only currently with old one since she grew. Thanks.

I have a two-year old who is 35 pounds and 3ft 3inches, and he fits in it, but all the straps were at the maximum length. He seemed to be comfortable in it. The stirrups are a nice touch and help keep his feet from dangling (although they are small for a 9.5 toddler shoe.

Overall, it fits better than the Kelty Adventure that he used to ride in.

This carrier is great. Both my husband (6'2") and myself (5'6") can wear it comfortably. Our daughter LOVES it. After the initial insert, the sun cover goes on very easily and stores great. Although we haven't had a need to use the rain cover, it also looks like it would be great. It's very easy to get her in and out of and she has been on two hour plus hikes without any fussing. This is absolutely worth the money if you're planning on hiking or going anywhere!

The Rumba is a great carrier. My son loved it. It is very plush for the passenger. The driver also has it pretty good as well. The harness is adjustable with the pack on, including torso length. The payload is huge. My wife carried the three sleeping bags and the tent in her pack, and I carried everything else we needed for an overnight backpack trip in the Rumba. I carried 65 pounds including my son, and it felt great on my back. This is the best design I have seen in a kid carrier.
