Sherpani Rumba Superlight Kid Carrier

Sherpani Rumba Superlight Kid Carrier

Rating for this product: 4 August 5, 2009

I've been using a low-end Evenflo framed carrier, but my granddaughter was complaining about her legs last hike, so I started looking for a better pack. I ordered this pack with a 50% off coupon so the price was right! Once I figured out the straps, this pack was VERY comfortable for me as compared to the Evenflo. The weight of the pack (or lack thereof) is also significant for me. I'm 5'2" 125 lbs and Nadia is over 3' and 30+ lbs at 2 1/2 yrs. There's a couple little pockets on the waist belt for small items such as a cell phone, keys, etc. that's convenient. The storage area under the pack is quite large compared to the Evenflo. Plenty of room for a clothing change, diapers, snacks, and more. Nadia never complained about her legs hurting or being uncomfortable.....and I kept asking. : )

The cons of the pack:

Nadia is so tall the sunshade would not go over her head even with the seat in the lowest position possible and there is no good place to store it on the pack. That's not significant for me as we're not used to that anyway.

There was no good position for a large child to sleep in. This is likely not an issue with smaller children.

The support stand was always out, yet wasn't securely locked in place. Pretty unstable and a definite flaw.

I just got the pack last week and I've only used it on one hike so far, so there may be some things I'm doing 'wrong'. A more detailed instruction sheet would be helpful.

The real test came at the end of the hike. I sat the Evenflo and the 'new' backpack side by side and asked Nadia which one she liked better. Evenflo won out. Could be any number of reasons with a 2 yr old, though. The Evenflo is her favorite color. : ) I'll use the Sherpani for longer hikes, but continue to use the Evenflo for hikes less than 3 miles.
