Gear Review
Great idea but too large for the purpose.

I was/am still looking for a child-carrier for occasional use by my 3 year old. For example, the last bit of a hike when she doesn't want to walk anymore or at a crowded fest when I want control of her with hands free. I thought this was it but I didn't realize it had a solid base piece that gives support when the backpack is sitting on the ground. For wearing the backpack, just in case I need it - this piece makes it too big. I wanted a more simple trailpack style that converted when necessary to the child carrier. This one is not simple, it hardly has any advantage over the full frame child carrier that we own and love but is too big to carry around for the occasional 'just in case' usage.

I realize this post is old, but what did you settle on. I'm taking my family on a cruise and looking for something similiar. At this point I'm trying to find a used Kelty 2.1, however would be interested if you found something better. thank you
