Early Impression My daughter is at the upper end of the weight capacity, she is 4 but not ready to tackle full hikes yet. The pack part is comfortable even with 38lbs riding. I really like that she is right in my ear telling me about everything she sees, it’s a pretty cool experience to be at eye level and just talking. 2 negatives I see: I wish there was a Velcro piece or something to stow the bar when she’s off so it’s not just bouncing off my rear, and a wider bar so her feet could go outside my hips/ obliques would make a comfortable wear as well. Overall great product.

It’s a nice concept but needs refining It’s a nice concept but needs refining. My daughter is under the weight limit but when I took her out with it, it couldn’t support her weight and she ended up with the platform giving way. Considering the price, this was really disappointing. I ended up ditching it and carrying her on my shoulders.

Great after thorough adjusting We used the Piggyback Rider + the waist belt on our roundtrip in Newfoundland and Tatra mountains in the Slovakia and it worked very nice. Note that you really have to take the time to adjust everything exactly to your size, otherwise, it can be quite painful experience. But assuming you did it right, it's a great way to travel even in very hard terrain (like a mountain slope full of large wiggly rocks) with your little one.

We love it We love it! It was a game changer, we had trouble taking our son into crowded places until we got this. We have been using it for almost 2 years and I would recommend it to everyone. My son is about 35 lbs. Now, And after getting it adjusted properly I find it much more comfortable than shoulders or carrying

Disappointed in the comfort level We bought this as a gift for our daughter, an active mother of an almost three-year-old toddler. She said it isn’t comfortable and it doesn’t feel good to wear it. She was going to try and adjust it some more. Our grandson liked it, but if it isn’t comfortable to wear, we don’t see our daughter using it. We are disappointed. ☹️
