Gear Review
Well made and comfortable

Ranked #180 - Kids' Gear

We have used this pack with our daughter (now two years old) for walks to the park, transportation on the beach in Mexico, snowshoeing, and XC skiing. It provides great stability and comfort for both the passenger and the wearer. She loves riding in it, and it is easily adjustable so that my wife and I can switch off quickly and easily.
With the extra gear compartment below and the removable daypack, it'll hold a lot of extra gear (spare diapers, layers, snacks) for long days on the trail, too. The removable sunshade is stable and allows good coverage - admittedly, we have not had occasion to use the rain shield yet.
Overall, an excellent product that is much more suited to long outings than the similarly-designed Kelty carriers (of which we also own one - it is good, but not as good as the Sherpani). Both the backpack frame and child harness are much more secure and comfortable.
