Chicco SmartSupport Aluminum Frame Backpack Carrier, Lightweight Baby Backpack Carrier | Solar/Grey

I love this backpack child carrier! I have a 2-year-old son who is around 34lbs & 38" tall and this carrier works great. The straps help keep the weight off my back and redistribute it to my hips, and the carrier itself is VERY light. It folds up nicely and comes with a sun/rain shade for your child too. The carrier is very adjustable, so spend a little bit of time making it fit just right for your specific child and their particular size in order to make it fight right and give them the best ride & view. Pro tip: if you've ever been in the military or done serious backpacking training you are probably familiar with how to properly load a backpack onto your back once you put it on so that it takes as much weight as possible off your back and puts it on your hips. If not, then all you need to do is place your child in the backpack AND SECURE THEM WITH THEIR BUCKLES & STRAPS, slip the shoulder straps on, buckle the chest and waist straps, then lean forward as far as you can without losing your balance and pull the shoulder straps as tightly as you can. Tighten the waist strap and chest strap snugly and you're good to go- just be careful and wary of your surroundings so you don't lean too far forward and fall over or hit anything. It's especially helpful to have a "spotter" or helper while you adjust the pack and shoulder straps. As adjusted, I've had this pack on for several hours with a 30+lb child in the back doing steep hikes across uneven, wet terrain and have felt great the entire time. I'm not in awesome shape, but I can still hike for a few miles with relative ease. Honestly the only "bad" part was my son sweating so much while in the pack but that was just because he was basically snuggling me for multiple hours at a time while I sweated and I'm already a "furnace" of a human, as my wife puts it. 10/10, would buy again

We were going to travel with our toddler and I was looking for an alternative to a stroller. This was so much easier than taking a stroller so we could have our hands free for luggage and whatever else we needed our hands for. I was also glad he was securely on my husband's back and safe, especially in the airport around so many people. It's very lightweight and easy to put on. It has a bar that pops open to create a base to set down when needed, if you're by yourself this would help tremendously. It closes when you're wearing so you don't bump people/structures unnecessarily. The shoulder straps are padded and very comfortable and the waist strap is also padded and comfortable. My husband is 6ft, 280lbs and it fit perfectly once it was adjusted. There is also a retractable canopy for when you're outside to keep the sun off the little ones. It has a harness you can strap them into it so if you bend over they stay securely in place. Overall great buy, great quality....would definitely recommend.

Absolutely great, baby Absolutely loves it. Goes everywhere with us. I like to use it rather than the shopping cart seat. Easy on and off by yourself with a little practice. Highly recommend.

This is Gramma talking, so I have some experience... I tried the Dueter, way too complex of a machine, but also way more adjustable and probably more comfortable for long distance hiking, but we just needed something to walk the beach, and I like the simplicity of the Chico better. Haven't tried any others but they all looked complex like the Dueter. There are a few specific differences I really like about the Chico. The frame is more similar to the old style carrier, that has a rim around it the baby can chew on, it was my baby's favorite teething ring and kept him happy for long walks. the other is the way the baby's legs dangle from the other models, I would think the blood circulation would get cut off! The Chico has a bar the Baby can rest his feet on and stand up if he wants. I also like that the Chico has only a waist strap, the other's are strapped in like a car seat, which babies get way too much of these days, always being strapped down into car seats, strollers and high chairs even... enough already! Give them some freedom to move for heaven's sake!! the down sides are... yes the shade/rain thing is useless and just in the way. The shoulder and hips straps are NOT adjustable enough for bigger men and the chest strap is at my 6'3" sons throat. We are going to have to customize that... It fit's mom and gramma great, it's pretty good but not super comfortable. The perfect design is still yet to be made, so I'm thinking about it!

Bought this for my son. He’s 1 year old 23lbs. I have worn this twice now since purchasing. Both times I took my son trout fishing and walked along a creek through the marsh. First trek was 3 hours. Second, 2 hours. Comfortable to wear. Easy to use. The pack is fantastic in all honesty. I would give it 10 stars if I could. This is the new model. Don’t bother with the old model. Spend a little extra and get the new model. Keep in mind this is still a “budget friendly” pack. REI has was for 350$ Definitely would recommend to dads looking to creek/shore fish or shed hunting/hiking.

Bought for my 2yr old son 26lbs for beach trips and small walks/ hikes Pros: STURDY. Does not feel look or seem flimsy. Frame is thick. And when your child is placed in it, doesn't feel like they'll tip over QUICK SETUP/ EASY TO USE. Just unfold and you're ready to go. It is already assembled CONS: BULKY since it is already assembled and thicker stronger frame. Especially bulky for placing in luggage PADDING could be better. Padding is thin and not intended for long trips walks COVER is small. Does not give a lot of cover for your child against the sun so keep that in mind Overall, great for its sturdiness and great for a quick ready to go carrier. Not intended for long trips due to the padding provided. It's definitely my go to carrier for quick walks small trips and walks on the beach. Also my son sits up and can see over my head rather than just looking at the back of my head. Hope this helps

No pesa, los bebes van comodos, seguros porq quedan muy bien sentados y protegidos. Lo recomiendo ampliamente

I wasn't expecting product to be made in China. Light weight and compact. Couldn't wait to give it a try, hopefully it is sturdy which is most important.

I bought this a while ago and it was great! I got a lot of use out of it. I take the city bus and it was so easy to be able to hop on and off. It has "legs" the pop back to support it if you need the child to sit on the ground in it! I got a lot of compliments on it. I do recommend this product. The child has since out grown it. I plan to put a liner in it to block the leg holes so I can use it for our small dog now.

La mochila cumplió mis expectativas, es ligera y los materiales son resistentes y de calidad, super práctica para llevar a tu hijo en distancias largas como al hacer campismo, en la playa, al ir de compras, etc.

Es excelente! A mi hija le encanta, lo único que me gustaría es que la sombra fuera un poco mas grande, no le alcanza a tapar el sol en ningún angulo
