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.

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.

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.

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. ☹️

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!
