Osprey Poco LT Child Carrier Tungsten Grey

First of all, I really wish I could adjust the torso length more due to my short stature. I needed to add paddling to the waist band for comfort. Also I wish the stand was collapsible because I'm always banging it into things. Pros Like the arm straps for baby, plenty of storage, side pockets are easily used for a cell phone Like the handle straps for lifting the whole pack when it's loaded up This was the only carrier that almost fit me.

As first-time parents, we have often wondered how did parents function before this?! Seriously! The POCO LT is AMAZING! We have a 10-month daughter (who currently weighs about 18lbs), and have packed her nearly daily since she was about 4 months old. I actually asked our pediatrician if she could spend too much time in the pack (the answer was no!). We love wearing our daughter and best of all she loves being in it! She can look around from a higher vantage point and she loves to go! In the mornings when I'm pumping and getting ready, she's in the pack. Making dinner, vacuuming, and other housework she's in pack! As far as outdoor use, we have taken her to XC skiing, alpine skiing (very carefully), snowshoeing, hiking, working cattle, (she has been a big hit among the cowboys from neighboring ranches, "where did you get that, we need one of those!), branding calves, yard work, etc. The POCO LT is extremely comfortable for both my husband and I, and it's easy to readjust in between uses. Not to mention it appears to be very comfortable for our daughter who often falls asleep in it (we just make sure she can breathe!). The fact that it stands on itself when you take it off is extremely convenient. I could afford to buy it for everyone I know as a baby shower gift I would. It just feels like the most natural thing for us to pack her on our backs. It is also very convenient to fold in a compact manner when traveling. Our daughter had one blowout diaper while in it, and the material isn't removeable. I just put the pack in the shower and took some Dawn dish soap and warm water to it immediately and it was perfectly clean after that. Also - In a blizzard there isn't much protection from the wind. Out of all the 'baby gear' this has been THE BEST. It has afforded us the luxury to live our lives while exposing our daughter to some incredible things. We want her to develop the same love of the outdoors and sense of adventure that we have. Thank you Osprey!!

I really love this carrier. It has a much smaller footprint than the poco plus which is awesome for every day hikes and easy car storage. My baby loves the carrier and my dogs are grateful I have somewhere to store water and treats for them. I wish it had some of the minor features that the plus has like the hand mirror to see babe, side mesh pockets, better storage in the waist belt and stirrups. Even with those drawbacks, I'd still prefer this over the plus due to the smaller footprint. Overall, highly recommend for those who are hiking with baby and want a little storage but not a massive pack. Also, we love the rain cover! Osprey, can you design a bug net cover for this?

We hike often. Everyday to every other day. Sometimes several hours a day. It has a height adjustment, tons of storage, a spot for hydration packs. We take this everywhere. Shopping, the zoo, basically anything that requires walking. It's big but not as clunky as some of them can be. Sturdy, nothing has broken on it. Amazing design! My daughter loves hanging out in this thing and climbs right in when it's sitting out. So I think that's a yes from her too! Great product osprey!

My wife and I like to go hike the different state parks in our area which can range from a mile to 5 miles. So far we have used it once since receiving it. I had it on my back for 2.5 miles with the baby girl in tow. She loved it as well.
