Deuter Kid Comfort - Child Carrier

We were really happy with the look & feel of the carrier when it arrived. The shoulder pads are comfy, and fit better for me(mom) than the Osprey we've used before.The backpack is easy adjustable when we change between tall dad, and a little shorter mom for example.We've only gone on 1 small hike so far, but it was a great success!One tiny thing, and maybe we've not investigated (or googled enough) is where to store the sunshade when you don't want it up.

Comfort and safe

Being a family of 5 and loving the outdoors, having a Kid Comfort is a necessity. We dont just use it for hiking and trails, we also use it when we bring our kids to the zoo or parades. It's extremely comfortable the shoulders have good padding in them and the seat that holds our little one is comfortable and safe for him. He enjoys riding on his daddy's back. I love how it goes around your waste and clamps together. It also has a stand on it for when you need to sit it down. Upon opening the box my kids found a cute little white teddy bear that comes with it.... that was really sweet. It doesnt come with a bag to store it in which I do wish it had one but other than that this product is amazing. It literally takes the weight off of your back and distributes it ... MoreBeing a family of 5 and loving the outdoors, having a Kid Comfort is a necessity.

Good carrier, would recommend and buy again

Good mix between wearing comfort and size/weight. I also tried the deuter and mountain equipment coop counterparts and this one is clearly more comfortable. Can't comment on baby comfort comparison since he looked the same sitting on all of them. Lots of strapping and other adjustments which complicates things at times, but the customizability makes it comfortable. Compared to the other bags of tried weight distribution is a bit farther back, which means I need to lean forward more to reflect the centre of gravity shift

Great Pack!

We have been a long time fan of the Deuter Kid carrier packs and this new pack is the best one yet. It is very comfortable to wear and is easily adjusted for any body size and able to transfer from women to men. It is Lightweight and sturdy. There are great pockets on the hips for anything from snacks for the kids to your sunglasses. The seat for your kid to sit in is easily adjusted and also easy to get your kid in and out. There is a ton of storage space on the back which is one of our favorite thinfs about this pack and a separate area to take a 3L water pack. Also love the new clip system used on the pack and to connect the sun shade! We have used other brands of packs and this has been our favorite pack. We hike most weekends and our kids are always with us and ... MoreWe have been a long time fan of the Deuter Kid carrier packs and this new pack is the best one yet.

Couldn't recommend this pack more!Cons: Wish the sun shade was connected to the pack like the Kid Comfort III

Great purchase

It was initially hard to convince myself to spend that amount of money on a carrier. I usually use a a simple carrier but this is perfect. It protects my baby from the sun and she is so comfortable in it that she actually slept during a hike. The storage on the bag is really good and the weight distribution is perfect bc I didn't feel exhausted or in pain. I highly recommend if you plan to do hikes throughout the year

Must have for big adventures with your little one!

THIS IS THE BAG! After extensive research and comparing between product sites, reviews, and blogs, the Deuter Kid Comfort came out the unanimous front runner. We have an active lifestyle and zest for travel, so needed something comfortable for not only us parents, but our baby too! We are more than impressed with the Kid Comfort! So far used for strictly hiking purposes, it has lived up to the hype! Great design, generous storage space, a sturdy kickstand, and of course COMFORT for both wearer and rider! We are heading to France in September and cannot wait to explore without the restrictions of a stroller!

Sun shade rubs back of head

We haven't used this yet as our baby cannot sit up independently yet. However, there are two cons I have noticed so far. The front of the sun shade rubs the back of my head and the carrier at the maximum torso length just barely fits me. I am 6' with a 20" torso length. Other than that the carrier seems to wear comfortably.

Supportive pack for a postpartum mama

We welcomed our second child a month ago. My husband and I just started to hit the trails with our two kids, with my three year old son on my back. I was nervous the first time out, carrying a toddler with my body not being as strong as it used to be. This pack made it surprisingly easy. It's supportive with great weight distribution, it keeps my back cool and ventilated in the desert heat, it’s well padded for extra comfort, and it was easy to adjust to make it fit me and my son perfectly. I was impressed by the little extra touches: the large pockets in the waist belt to put your phone and camera, the super padded pillow for my little one to sleep, and all the adjustable straps. This pack is exactly what I need to get outdoors with my little ones. Definitely a fan!

good investment

Though there is significant cost to this item, it should last us from 6 months all the way up to ages five-7. The pack provides ample additional storage for child related needs. Further, the pack has what one would expect form a Deuter pack - many adjustments, capable of accommodating my 6'3 height. If you plan significant hiking with your child, this is a worthwhile purchase. Happy trails!
