Sherpani Rumba Backpack Carrier

This is an awesome pack! The one I have is a couple of years old now, but I'm still using it. I had an older Kelty that I had picked up from a swap meet. It wasn't very comfortable for me or my daughter. I… found this one online and liked the fact it was for older kids (she was 2 at the time). I'm still carrying her in it (when she'll let me) and she's 3 1/2. It's rated up to 65 lbs I think, she's at about 40 now and it's still doable, though I find 3-4 miles is my limit these days. I let her walk until she's tired then I put her in the pack so we can finish our hikes. She never liked the foot holders, but I think if you start a child when they're younger they might. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating, is because there's a metal strip that occasionally digs into my hip on the right side. Then again ... I'm carrying a lot of weight so when the kids are young I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue. Besides comfort for myself and my daughter, I also was looking for a pack that had some storage for food and extra clothing. This one has great storage - both under her as well as the little detachable backpack. Last, but not least, I love the fact that it has zippered pockets in the waist belt. I can put my keys and cell phone in there and get to them without taking the pack off. I highly recommend this pack!
