Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"Sherpani made the Rumba Backcountry Kid Carrier with an adjustable, unisex suspension system that fits 16 to 22-inch torso sizes. Plus, you can make micro-adjustments on the fly, so you don't need to go through five minutes of on-again, off-again action. A topper sunshade and tuck-away windows protect your kid from sun, wind, and rain, while the pop-off day pack doubles as a diaper bag or a toddler's school pack. The Rumba's five-point chest plate prevents your child from getting into those slouchy, horridly-uncomfortable-looking positions, while baby stirrups help keep blood flowing in your little one's legs."

From REI:
"Sherpani Rumba child carrier has all the features for camping yet is also suitable for trips to the market and all-day summer festivals.

Topper sunshade/rain cover protects little one from the elements and guards against unruly branches; when not in use, stash Topper in bottom pocket against back of carrier.

Unisex Rumba
Reviewed by Joe Weese, Mar 19, 2008

"We did some shopping around before we bought. Although, besides an older model Kelty, this is the only one I have actually used on my back.

Features are outstanding. Our 19 month old was extremely comfortable riding around. The rain cover (included) was excellent protection against wind and rain as we visited Niagara Falls in March."
