Father's Day Gift This was a Father's Day present - (given to me weeks early because my wife couldn't wait to introduce our granddaughter to the joys of hiking). She (2 1/2 year old granddaughter) loved the combined experience of exploring by foot interspersed with standing on "pop pop's" back. The piggyback set up (included loading child) effortlessly. It seems safe, strong, and well made. My only suggestion would be to provide adult shoulder padding (like the belt accessory which I wore comfortably) to help ease pressure. Otherwise, this carrier is one of the best hiking accessories I've ever owned!

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.

Very convenient carrier for kids Very convenient carrier for kids. It stores small which is great. I wish it had an improved load distribution like some heavy duty backpacks to help take or distribute the load to the hips rather than just the shoulders.

Great way to hike or walk around longer… Great way to hike or walk around longer distances with a little one. Our 3 year old was eager to ride and get a better view as we hiked trails in Oregon and it gave us a lot of security that she was safe and not complaining about all the walking.

This is the third piggy back rider I… This is the third piggy back rider I have purchased. One has lasted me beyond my children’s ability to want to be on it. 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.
