Kelty TC 2.0 Transit Child Carrier Pack

We purchased this pack then used it in a rigorous 8 mile day hike carrying our 28 pound 26 mo old along with day hike necessities. The pack performed flawlessly. The pack easily adjusts to fit almost any torso length, and includes detailed instructions for proper fit. I was initially concerned about the smallish internal frame, however I was comfortable (with small adjustments here and there) for the entire hike. I found this pack more comfortable than some traditional full framed child carriers that I have tried.

Definitely worth the money.

* good comfort for both me and my passenger * a bit difficult to reach side pockets on my own * ample storage for baby and personal items

We are spending the summer in the West Indies, and I got this carrier for an alternate way to carry my 18 month old when a stroller would be too awkward. I was on the fence about getting a carrier until I read all the glowing reviews here, but now I'm a believer. I've taken him around the block with it a few times, and he absolutely loves riding in it. He is on the small side (18 months and 22 pounds), so it's veryy comfortable for me to carry. I can see that it might be more of a chore to carry a larger child. There are lots of sizing adjustments--I'm still fine-tuning the fit, and it gets more comfortable each time. I also got the sun/rain shield. I think it will work out great for our summer--definitely seems worth the space it will take up in our luggage!

We used this carrier for multiple family trips. Our son always loved riding in it. It saved us from having to manuever with a stroller. You have your hands free for bags.
