Kelty TC 1.0 Transit Child Carrier Pack

I love it. It doesn't fit my husband as well, but I can easily take a long hike, get the floors swept or the dishes finished. We love the zip-off pack and use it as a detachable diaper bag. It's nice that we don't always have to drag the stroller if space it tight. I just wish we had purchased it sooner.

It is nice that when you are not carrying a child the straps tighten down to become just a backpack

I bought this carrier so I could take my 7 month old daughter for hikes and just around town. My biggest concern in purchasing a child carrier was whether or not I would be able to manage it alone. So far, I haven't had any trouble. It fits me great, (I'm 5'5 140), But my boyfriend said it was a little small (he's 6'1 180) And my little Frances LOVES it!

I needed a baby carrier backpack to use on day hikes and around town and so far this pack is working out pretty well. I find it a little difficult to get on and off unless I use a bench, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. It works great when my husband and I are together, but if I'm alone, I can't get into any of the pockets without taking the pack (and baby) off my back. That means if I'm using it around town, I have to find a way to carry my wallet/phone. I'd like it better if there were at least a pocket or two on the straps/hip belt to hold a cell phone or small wallet. The baby likes the pack and seems comfortable in it. My only concern on his part is that he'll reach the 30 lb (baby + gear) weight limit too fast! I didn't think the zip-off diaper bag feature was going to be useful, but I've already used it several times.

The bag is great. We went hiking the other day and a multitude of other parents commented on how great the pack looked. It was far more comfortable than my internal frame pack I use for overnight hikes. It's only drawback is that our little one couldn't see over my head so he kept shifting his weight from side to side making it a bit uncomfortable at times.
