Awesome carrier
This is an awesome carrier! It has ample storeage for a good day hike or trip to the mall. The baby fits snugly and securely with great padding to avoid any bumps or bruises. Altrec's price cannot be beat and the service was excellent. This pack will serve us well for many years.

Kelty FC 3.0
I recently purchased this carrier and have used it in a local mall. I am very please with the build quality and comfort of the carrier (our baby loves it too). The designers clearly had an all day hike in mind when they built it and likely not the local mall. It has a bevy of storage areas including two convenient pouches in the front waist straps where you can put a cell phone & wallet. I am 6'3" and I did not need to make and adjustments to it. My only issue was how to get the pack on once I put our baby in it. There is a "kick" stand so it can be placed on the ground without rolling over however there is no central grab handle on the top of the carrier to aid in strapping it to one's back. So I ultimately sat on the ground and put the carrier on. Not a big deal but a grab handle would make this process much easier. All in all an excellent pack which seems like it was built to last forever. The sun visor is a nice touch and stores conveniently in one of the large back pouches. I would highly recommend this carrier.

Awesome Piece of Hiking Equipment
Can't think of a single flaw in the whole system. Lightweight, comfortable, durable and multifunctional. Also got an INCREDIBLE deal on it, over 50% off!!! Not a bad price for one of the best packs on the market! Thanks Altrec!

Goes Where Strollers Cannot
Great item! Purchased this to use on the trails, but ended up using even on the streets of our small town which has horrible sidewalks. Our boy was a little fussy during the first couple strap-ins, but he now gets excited when he see the carrier because he knows an adventure is ahead.

AMAZING
I love this backpack. We try to go on hikes every weekend and we love to take our 8 month old daughter with us. This pack makes it possible for her to go with us. The pack is "AMAZING" my daughter loves it herself and never gets fussy while shes in it. As for the carrier of the pack (myself) it feels like any other ordinary backpack. The weight is distributed very evenly and we go on sometimes 5 hour hikes. A MUST BUY.
