My kids love it!

Rating:*****
I bought this child carrier for my son and his wife. We have just welcomed my sixth grandchild into the world. Mom will need to be able to have her hands free whenever possible since there are 5 other kids to look after. She was so happy to get this carrier. Our new baby will be able to enjoy being held close by mom and dad, even though the other 5 need attention too. They are busy parents and wanted this very much and they are very happy to have it. It was so nice to be able to get it at such a reasonable price. Thank You Sierra Trading Post!

Love this Carrier!

Rating:*****
I bought this carrier for a trip to San Diego and it far exceeded my expectations. This was the third carrier that I tried; I couldn't seem to find one that didn't hurt my shoulders. This carrier has a nice waist piece that alleviates any strain on the shoulders. It was comfortable to wear all day long for both me and baby and I was even able to breastfeed with him it while walking around. We encountered quite a bit of rain but he stayed dry thanks to the rain cover. I am very happy with this carrier and would recommend it to anyone.

Pretty darned good!

Rating:****

This carrier is very comfortable on my sixty-one year old back. Adequate support and padding keeps it comfortable, even on warm days. The pullout sunshade is very effective in protecting my granddaughter from the direct, overhead sun. What could be better? Hard to say ... though it would be nice to have the ability to shift a child higher or lower with out adjusting the back support straps. What you get with this product is a very good solution to carrying an infant. I use it for about an hour and ten minutes of continuous walking daily.

Great Pack

Rating:*****
This is a great pack. We were dying to get out and do some hiking while our son was small. This pack provided great support and our son loves being outside. The sun shade works great and is a real plus to this pack. I would highly recommend this pack for hiking. Especially when the child is small and not big enough to be in a backpack.

I love this chid carrier!

Rating:*****
I love this pack. I bought it for my older son 4 years ago. We used it all the time with him. It is easy to use and very comfortable. We also used it with his younger brother. I'm now buying one for my sister and her new little one. These packs are great - the most comfortable on the market.

Great Shower Gift

Rating:*****
I purchased this as a baby shower gift for Mr Mom. He was thrilled to have a no nonsense carrier. Too early to tell how it will stand up to day to day use.

Great Carrier

Rating:*****
We have owned this carrier for 8 years and carried 2 of our children in it. It is still in great shape so we bought it for a gift.

Perfect!

Rating:*****
It's easily adjusted to fit me or my husband. Padded straps are a big plus!

Negative Reviews:

Couldn't get it to fit right

Rating:**

My wife and I both tried to figure out the harness system. We could never get it to sit on our hips. It always transferred all the weight to our shoulders. We had to send it back. Really nice pack and really wanted it to fit.

Dr.Trisler at Backcountry.com on 07/23/2009

didn't meet expectations

Rating:**
Purchased this because it promised to distribute the weight well. It didn't live up to expectations. The waist/hip band gaps. Weight does not settle on to hips/pelvis. My shoulders still ached!
first time gramma at Sierra Trading Post on 10/01/2009

Rating:**
