KeltyJourney PerfectFIT Signature Series Child Carrier

I'm 5'10 wide shoulders, my wife is 4"-11- It's quick to adjust between the two of us. Sits nicely on the hips and has easy in and out. No side entry so as my boy gets older it will be harder to get him in and out. When the stand is extended it has a firm base and sits nicely. Plenty of storage for extra clothes, diapers and snacks. Sunshade is great, and the washable drool pad a great feature.Durable and high quality, does not feel cheap at all.I would compare this straight up with the Osprey.It is on the larger size, basically consider it on par with a internal frame hiking backpack It's not small by any means. But the easy adjust, high quality material and good build quality I'm looking forward to many hikes with this!

Purchased this for our 14 month old but would fit our 3.5 year old too. The most notable features of the PerfectFIT Signature: adjustable height for both the wearer and the child, several storage pockets (including a pair on the waist allowing quick access to phone, snacks, water), and the sun shade which is a must for summer in Texas. Our 14mo old (22 lbs 23in) was very comfortableAnd when they eventually fell asleep and their little head was hanging over the edge we unsnapped the drool pad and repositioned it to cushion our little ones head and keep it from hanging.I have been backpacking for years (without kids) and am particularly impressed with how comfortable if it’s both myself (5ft) and my husband (6ft). Is it as comfortable as a pack made specifically for a small or large frame, no but, for an adjustable from it’s quite impressive. We have only used this for day hikes so far but plan do take it in some overnight trips soon.

We've put many hours into this carrier. I'm 5'9" and in good shape. The carrier fits me well and is not overly burdensome or difficult to put on. The torso length adjustment is almost at the minimum for me. I wouldn't recommend for smaller people, but wouldn't rule out the idea. Baby's mom finds the carrier uncomfortably heavy.Baby was almost 1 when we purchased, he enjoys riding in carrier, and stays comfortable and secure over fairly rough terrain, and navigates easily through crowded urban environments. He has fallen asleep anytime he's been in for over an hour. So glad we used this at the airport instead of a stroller as it kept my hands free. The sunny shade version is a must.Cons: It takes up about as much space as a small stroller, but is much lighter. Baby's legs get caught and stuck going into carrier and coming out. Difficult to adjust baby straps with big hands.Glad I purchased, but it requires patience and strength to use. You will get lots of comments about how cool it is, whenever you go out.

This bag was awesome! There was plenty if storage in the bag area to hold everything for our daughter for a day hike. The child carrier portion seemed very safe and it must have been very comfortable for her. We were out on the pictured hike for about 6 hours and our daughter did not fuss once (we did fix toys to the drool mat for her to keep herself busy). The bag itself was comfortable for the adult and seemed to be very supported. Both mom and/or dad can easily hike with this bag on!For child size comparison: our daughter was about 12 months old in this picture. She weighed about 25 lbs and measured 2ft 7in tall. There was plenty of room for her grow in the bag as well. Will be using this bag for a while with her and future children!

Having used a Kelty years ago when our own kids were small, I purchased one recently to use with our grandson. We share it with my son and his wife, whoever needs, it grabs it. Back then, it was literally HOW I DID LIFE with 5 kids. The baby was often in the pack, after they were the right age. Now, another generation is enjoying carrying a little person in a backpack. This is a great piece of equipment. They've gone up in price substantially since I used them with my own littles, but worth saving up for new or purchasing good condition used. Pic is of my son and grandson. Babies love being included in your adult life this way and the pack is so comfortable you can go for a long time with them loaded in.
