Much more comfortable than a previous child carrier i owned - Deuter Kid Comfort Pro Child Carrier

This is the second child carrier backpack that I've owned. We purchased this when our toddler outgrew the last one. I wish we had just saved the money and purchased this carrier from the start. It is pricy, but it's so much more comfortable than the last pack we owned.

For your information, our toddler is 37" tall, weighs 32 lbs., and just turned three-years-old. She loved this pack. In the old pack, she sometimes wanted to get out. She enjoyed the entire hike in this thing and even wanted to "ride" in it. The side entry is something that I didn't consider necessary, but after using it, I really like it.

The design and build of this pack seems excellent. It's pretty easy to get on and off and as mentioned, the side entry makes loading a toddler a breeze. My only complaint so far (for which I will deduct ¼ of a star) is that the side pockets near the front are not large enough to hold an iPhone 11.

The built-in sun shade is awesome. It really protects the child and folds and zips up and away nicely when not in use. There is also plenty of storage in this pack for a typical day hike. We also purchased the 3.0L Deuter Streamer and that fit nicely into a pocket between the adult and child.

Definitely a pricy pack, but also definitely worth the price.
