We purchased this pack for our trip to Switzerland with our 8-month old. We loved this pack. The bag itself can hold all the diaper bag essentials and more. When baby isn't riding the harness zips out of sight. The bag is a little short for long torsos which can make the weight distribution a little uncomfortable, but still a good pack. Our baby likes riding up high and has napped in this as well. The pack rides high on your back so it can look a bit odd when there is no child in it since regular backpacks sit much lower.

We bought this pack for a trip to South America which included a cruise. While on our trip the backpack portion served as our diaper bag and we used the carrier when we were in situations where a stroller was not appropriate. My 13 month old son loved being able to see everything and I loved knowing he was safe as we got on and off of boats and traversed rough terrain. We also have a full size carrier pack, but we end up using this more because of it's storage capacity and smaller size. I would highly recommend, especially for airline travel.

We purchased this pack for a trip for a trip to Europe and walking my older child to school. My son was two when he started riding in the pack and well over three when I insisted he was too big to ride anymore--he would still be in it today if he could. The child carriage is safe and secure--I've seen a four-month old enjoying hikes and never worried about my son slipping out of the sides or top. The storage offers plenty of room for what you need for a day--diapers, snacks, water--and works as a great pack even without children. My husband and I could easily adjust the pack to fit and could smoothly transition while walking, no extended stops required. This made traveling through airports much easier for me--while I had to take my son out for security checks every time, he'd go right back in and I never had to worry about him wandering in a foreign airport. The pack made him feel much more secure--he could see the action and interact with adults from the safety of our backs...Read more
