what parents are saying
Bought this for our first and it is pretty awesome! Best feature is that it stands up while kiddo is in it, making it easy to hoist them up or get them down. Sunshade is great and it adjusts easy (Aug 16, 2019)

My daughter loves this, wish I would have bought sooner, she’s almost too heavy for me to carry in it now, easy to put on, love that it stands up on its own. Light weight Dec 09, 2022
Worth the money if you love hiking! Much better for your back and can carry older kids. Plenty of room in the backpack itself too. Nov 22, 2022
