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

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 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.

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.

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.
