Product Description
The kokopax Classic Carrier in Sailor is the new go-to gear for the cheers and chores of daily life. The classic carrier is a safe, easy and comfortable ride for little ones . . . every day, everywhere! Its lightweight (approximately 2.7 lbs) and features an adjustable, anodized aluminum frame. While fashion fabrics separate this carrier from the pack, it has all the things you expect from a high-end carrier: a five point harness, adjustable and padded shoulder straps, sturdy kick stand and a pocket for the extras. It makes every day activities simple! The classic carrier is EASY to load. Using the kickstand, a parent can load the baby in the carrier and lift it into position without assistance. Unloading is equally simple. This carrier is a great tool to keep little ones happy during the hours of 4 and 6 pm when babies are notoriously fussy. It is also a perfect way to keep your baby up and away from germs while shopping. Babies are happy to be close and to be at eye-level with their parents so they can see what is going on around them and interact with their surroundings. The carrier is ideal in congested areas, where there are stairs or elevation changes and at beaches and playgrounds when its easier to carry your baby than push a stroller.

Summary: Cuts into little baby thighs... 2010-01-11
Comment: We bought this carrier a couple weeks ago and have used it several times. Overall we are happy with the carrier and will continue to use it, but we wanted you to know about a couple of issues that we have run into after our purchase. Our son is 1 year old and weighs 22 lbs. We have found 2 problems with this carrier that we are not too happy about after such a substantial purchase:
1. The carrier cuts into the underside of our little man's legs, and if he is in the carrier for more than 45 minutes, he gets very uncomfortable and lets us know. When we take him out of the carrier the underside of his legs (hamstring area# has been cut into #but not broken skin# by the edge of the carrier. Our son is not a chunky baby, he is actually quite thin and long, and I suspect this problem would be worse with heavier babies. Also, his little knees jam into our backs a lot of the time, but this just may be the way that he chooses to sit in the carrier.
2. The carrier does get pretty uncomfortable over extended periods #>1 hour), although the weight is pretty well distributed, I think that a strap across the front would make the carrier more comfortable.
Overall the carrier is well built, durable, and fashionable. These are just recommendations to check into prior to purchasing the carrier. Also as mentioned in another review, you do have to be pretty coordinated and have some upper body strength to get the carrier on by yourself. If you have the option I would definitely recommend trying it in the store before buying if you have the option.

Summary: Best carrier yet 2009-09-11
Comment: Little background: I am 5'2" and 110, my husband is 6'3" and just over 200 lb., and we both like this carrier, which is almost unheard of. Our son is just barely 6 mos. old, 18 lbs., and about 27 in.
PROS: MUCH more comfortable for both child and adult than other carriers (we owned several, and tried them all), as child's weight is more evenly distributed. 5 point harness keeps Houdinis where they should be. Child's arms and hands are free to move around. Good view of the world for little one. Easy in and out-- not a million straps and buckles, as with other carriers. Child can "support" their own weight w/ their feet on the frame of the carrier (watch the video-- you will see the baby "bouncing" with his feet on the carrier frame in one clip). So much more interesting and normal for baby than simply hanging from their crotch (again, as with other carriers). Able to take this many places where stroller is simply not realistic (like cobblestone streets, narrow aisles, or where navigating through crowds is difficult).
CONS: Not for smaller babies (<6 mos.). Child really does need to be at least 25 in. (and weight appropriate) and have excellent head/trunk control. Requires some upper-body strength to get it on as manufacturer suggests (should not be placed on an elevated surface to put on). I am a very athletic female and have no issues, but I question how well the "average" woman could do it without using an elevated surface (for my husband, this is a moot point-- no issues). Wish it was a little bit more adjustable-- there are three "snap" levels for lumbar support, but at the smallest setting, I still wish it would ride a little higher for me (I'm a mere 5'2"). Again, my husband has no issues-- he uses the tallest setting, and he is 6'3". No comfortable head position for child if they fall asleep in the carrier (this is true of all outward-facing carriers, but perhaps someday someone will rectify this?).
All in all, we like this carrier a lot. More expensive than most carriers, but often you get what you pay for. Nice fun prints too, but remember if you want your hubby to help carry baby, you might want a more neutral one (we have the brown "bubbles" and my Marine has yet to complain). Remember that regardless of how great the support is, carrying an extra 20-35 lbs. on your back is going to take a little more out of you, so people w/ extra large children (close to 30 lb. weight limit) shoudln't place their expectations on comfort too high. If you are extremely petite (under 5') or very lacking in upper body strength, this may not be the carrier for you, but it beats all the others we have owned and tried hands down!

Summary: Love this pack for around town 2009-08-18
Comment: I have a 2 1/2 year old, a 17 month old, and am 24 weeks pregnant. My oldest son's preschool has a very narrow entrance so getting a stroller in is not an option. This lightweight baby carrier is not only stylish, but also has a very small footprint. So now morning management of my 17 month old is a breeze. If only I could figure out how to do drop-off with three children.
