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!

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.

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.

VERY strong & sturdy. Highly Recommend. VERY strong & sturdy product. I was concerned about holding my kids weight, so I tested this with my wife prior to use. The packaging says 50lb limit, but it seemed to hold my 115lb wife with zero issues as well! The real surprise was how much stress this takes off the rest of your body. It genuinely does displace the weight evenly to make carrying effortless. Also super easy to use and comfortable to wear.
