I had years of enjoyment as did our entire family. So much so I purchased two for friends for Father’s Day this year. Awesome product and innovation.

Love it! No more painful piggy back rides! This product is brilliant and something I should have bought long before now. The weight distribution makes giving a piggy back ride much more enjoyable for carrier and rider. We use this for hiking when our 4 year old tires out and she love it. She even has the backpack with hydration bladder so she feels like one of the big kids. Cant wait to take many more adventures with it!

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.

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.

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.
