Deuter Kid Comfort II Carrier
Nice carrier

I picked the Deuter Kid Comfort II because it has a place for your hydration bladder, lots of room to carry the kidlet's diapers, clothes, and food, and it's a color my fiance is willing to wear (I like the Sherpani pack too, but the flower logo and colors didn't appeal to him). I wish it came with a sun/rain shade, but at least I can order it separately (though at the moment, Backcountry.com isn't selling any. Bummer.)
Overall, I'm really happy with this pack. It's comfortable to wear, even when the kid is squirming and it weighs 25 pounds, and it's easy to adjust. My fiance is only a couple inches taller than I am (I'm 5' 9"), so I can't speak to how comfortable it is for someone really tall or short, but it works great for us.
I wear it to walk around the park or at a festival just as often as I wear it to go hiking in the mountains. Our kid (he's 7mos), seems to like the ride.
It's got enough storage that we could possibly do a short backpacking trip - that's the plan, anyway.
