  • This is a wonderful backpack for both me and my husband. He’s 6”0 and I’m 5”2 and we can adjust the backpack perfectly so that it’s comfortable for us both. Our 11 month old is very comfortable in it! Oct 23, 2023

  • 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

  • If you hike and don’t have this! Get one ASAP! Worth every penny! We used this for our son and now using it with our daughter. It can carry so much in the pockets even lunch in the bottom pocket! Sep 13, 2022
