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!

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. ☹️

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.

So far we love it I haven't had the opportunity to take the piggyback Rider on any trails yet however when I was trying it out around the house the only thing I noticed that I didn't care for was that the child harness doesn't snap closed in the front. Overall it's going to make carrying the little ones much much easier when we're out and about

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.
