Great product The Piggyback Rider is a great option for hiking with kids who are too old for the backpack but not old enough to go the distance. This is comfortable and cool to wear with the kids are not on it and is a great alternative to putting them on your shoulders, hip or the traditional piggyback ride.

Long hikes with a 4 year old The Piggyback Rider has made a world of difference when hiking with my 4 year old. It allows us to go on longer hikes where she can get off and on easily when she gets tired. I highly recommend getting the hip belt attachment. It really helped to distribute my child’s weight evenly across my shoulders and hips. The customer service is also spot on. They respond quickly and will help you get what you need. The entire company deserves a 10/10 rating. Keep up the amazing work.

My piggyback rider came much more… My piggyback rider came much more quickly than expected, which was much appreciated as it was a gift. My brother and his son are beside themselves, they love it so much. They have been going for long walks every day. My brother says the weight distribution on his back is perfect.

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.
