Essential for really getting outside postpartum
Bought this when my son was 9 months old, he's 21 months now and It's the most used piece of equipment we have for carrying him. I tried my son in at least 15 other high-end name brand bags, in stores, and nothing compares to this bags adjustabikity for his growing body and adjustability for whos careying him. Other bags were so difficult to get him out of. This bags seems so comfortable for sleeping, and everything about this bag is high quality. I fabricated a custom insulated down filled bag to go over it on really cold days, using an adult sleeping bag, and it's the only thing I want to put him in when we go snowshoeing, back country telemark skiing (low angle), or even just a walk along the river. In the summer time my fiance takes our son fishing in it, hiking along ankle deep rivers. We love how adjustable the bag can be between mom carrying him and dad, it's quick and easy. The bag and clips all feel very durable, and safe for baby. Love the sun shade too.

Good quality, poor fit
The pack is certainly well made and the overall design is well thought out. Where it ultimately did not work for me is in the fit, when having the pack loaded. I'm 5'9''/175lbs and the weight tends to fall on an awkward place above my lower back that is instantly uncomfortable and unable to be corrected with the various adjustment possibilities. The sternum straps, although adjustable, also never seem to fit right. The highest position for the top strap is not high enough and the lower strap was always tight, even when fully extended. It would seem that some of the fit issues may be resulting from trying to make this a unisex pack. Perhaps a lot of these things could be fixed with having gendered options. Other things to be aware of are that although this is compatible with the 3L reservoir, it is extremely tight to fit in the correct spot and may not be possible when fully loaded with water. I would recommend going with the 2L, instead. You will also want to purchase some sort of magnetic clip for the hose or else it will just dangle, as there is no solution for this designed into the pack or the reservoir. It should be also mentioned that the pack does not come with the 2 flasks. This should be corrected in the description.

Well made
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very impressed with this backpack. It's the perfect size for shorter distance walks or hikes. It can hold quite a bit of items. very durable material that will last a long time. Came with two flexible plastic water bottles. Straps are all adjustable for the perfect fit. The whole back is padded so nothing pokes or bothers you inside the bag.

Love it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This came in so handy when we took our grandson to the zoo. My husband and I both were able to carry him with ease and it was a great relief to our arms and back. He loves it because he sits up high and can see over our heads with no problems. The multitude of pockets is great for carrying all the extras you need with a small child. It is very sturdy and quite comfortable.

Its easy to use and very safe to strap your child in and begin your outdoor adventure. This is the coolest thing I have seen invented.

Comfortable carrier
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family loves to hike, and we have kids of all ages. My nephew just turned 2 so on our hikes he doesn't last very long walking on his own. Before finding this carrier we used a regular baby carrier and that just wasn't comfortable. This carrier has the perfect structure while also having soft canvas material so both My nephew and I are comfortable on our hikes. Our last hike we went for 3 hours and 90% of that time my nephew was in the carrier. I had no issues carrying him the entire hike I was extremely comfortable and he was supported perfectly.
