Light and comfortable for both child and adult, easy to use, quick and easy to adjust and swap between adults
All the storage space you need,
Well constructed and very durable and surprisingly light weight for the construction and features
Loved the stirrups as this stopped little man from the annoying kicking you get with some back packs
Loved the built in sun canopy , no mess and no fiddly little bits to break
The detachable ruck sack is a nice touch
Really comfy and fitted well.
Room for all the baby gear you could need and all kept dry in the rain
This is ideal for a walk round town a day out at an attraction or going for long walks with the dog.
Versatile and flexable and met all our needs
No rain cover you have to buy that separate
The hip belt only extends to 48'' so if your slightly larger youd struggle to fasten it
It features a detachable daypack, padded lightweight changing mat, built-in sunshade, size adjustable hip belt with zippered pockets, a large zippered lower compartment, inner mesh security pocket, two stretch mesh side pockets and a mobile phone pocket on the shoulder strap,and a space for a hydration pack .
We had great fun testing out the new Osprey Poco Premium Chid carrier with our little boy who's just turned 16mnths he loved being able to see everything that was going on and he seemed very content and comfortable in it as well he even fell asleep on a couple of occasions,both myself and my husband found the carrier very comfortable even when our little boy got excited and flapped his arms around the carrier was very stable and we didn't feel unbalanced unlike some of the other carriers we have tried,we found it very easy to get on and off,and change between the two of us,even on my own it was very easy to put on and get off,i think what made it easier than other carriers is the two handles one at the front and one at the back of the carrier. When we were out and about with the carrier especially when we went to baby and children's markets we had quite a few people asking us about the carrier and did it feel heavy and commenting on how happy and comfortable our little boy looked in it,the only downside i would say is if your bigger than 48inch hip/waist you may struggle getting the hip belt to fit as my husband did as he's slightly bigger than a 48 even when the belt was fully extended,overall we would definitely recommend the Osprey Poco Premium Chid Carrier if your looking to purchase a child carrier as its really on a par in price with other brands of child carriers and it has that extra bonus of a built in sun canopy,it has plenty of storage space for nappies,spare baby clothes and drinks
