good pack, but not "be all, end all"

Sherpani Rumba Superlight Kid Carrier

Sherpani Rumba Superlight Kid Carrier

Rating for this product: 3 April 14, 2009

just getting used to it, have not had it out for a full test yet.

PROS: good storage capacity, constructed well (so it seems)... did not skimp on pads etc.
- pretty comfortable... lots of space for dayhike storage, there is a pocket for a bladder (some have said they wished it had one), hip belt is great, as light as promised. folds for airplanes and backseats... pretty flat.
- clever design... a few more years and they'll design it just right... but it ain't there yet.
- price is about 100$ less than the other high end competition we considered.

CONS:
- stand does stick way out... i work in tropical rainforests... can't imagine it can work down there.
- sun shade is great at noon on the equator, elsewhere, other times... gradations of useless.
- sun shade has two straps right in front of baby's face... while they are elastic, they do mark up the child's face.
- no way the kid can sleep in this... not without extra pillows.
- the seat is actually like a climbing harness... while that is great... it gives her mobility... also great... but if she decides that she wants to tack left for two hours... I really feel it... as all her weight is off center.... the choice is her's not mine.
- shoulder straps are short (My frame is average) such that the sternum strap is up above my sternum at its lowest setting (the pack was made for women and therefore this might be strategic... above the breasts).
- no real place to fully store the sunshade; it has two 9" pegs that stick up above (and behind) the baby's head. no big deal... and you can hike with your gamey socks airing out... but for a rainforest... that's going to be problemmatic.
- feet of young baby can squeeze in below her seat and her legs are protected from most elements. however, as the baby grows, the legs must come out... and there are two bars that will unquestionably rub the childs legs.
