We have a 5-month-old boy who weighs in at nearly 7 kgs. We have used the carrier 3 times now for about an hour each time walking on fairly easy bush trials.

Comfort levels for me are excellent. The hip strap carries the 6o% of the weight and the shoulder straps 40% making for a well balanced hike.

Our little boy absolutely loves it. I am 6'5" so his view is bird's eye! On an hour walk he will laugh, squeal and giggle for all of it, nearly making me deaf! He did fall asleep on one walk so obviously he is quite comfortable. He is not quite big enough to for the straps to be tight at their tightest settings however a folded hand towel on the seat has fixed that. The sunshade is excellent, doesn't block his view at all and provides a bit of protection from branches. Haven't used the rain protection yet.

The ability to include a Camelbak insert (2L) is great and there is enough storage for keys wallet phone small first aid kit a couple of nappies and maybe a sandwich if you don't mind it sharing a home with the nappies.

With enough support to run short bursts and rock hop etc I recommend this child carrier completely as it has given us the freedom to hit the trails again. The stand is excellent and very stable so it can also act as a child seat when stopping for a rest and we give him a feed of mash banana whilst he is still in it.
