User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars lightweight and comfortable
This backpack is just what I was looking for- a backpack that is durable, comfortable, and much simpler (fewer straps and buckles) than the hiking backpack we had been using. My daughter is 25 pounds, and it is still comfortable. I wish I had gotten this pack WAY sooner because she outgrew our front carrier awhile ago (but I still would haul her around in it), and having this makes shopping trips and walks much more pleasant for both of us

1 Star Deeply disappointed
My 8 month old son HATED this carrier, sadly. We’d had high hopes based on the reviews. But he didn’t seem to feel secure in it. Because of the way the carrier is positioned, he was able to push against my back with his feet and try to stand up, and the unpadded straps holding him into the backpack would cut into his neck and leave horrible marks. We had a difficult time getting him in and out, because the clasp for the straps that secure him are placed very low in the carrier, and the carrier is very narrow, and we couldn’t see the release buttons to get him out. We also had a diffult time with the very stiff metal stand — it’s hard to put your kid down when you can’t get the stand to release behind you! Finally, the lack of any type of chest or waist strap was a big problem from an ergonomic perspective, and our kid is only 17lbs. I can’t imagine have a much heavier one in there.

It arrived yesterday, and is being returned in the morning. You get what you pay for, I guess….

1 Star terrible carrier,not an ergonomic design
I rarely review items I buy unless I really love or hate them. I think reviews are important because I know personally I shop on Amazon based on reviews. So here is the truth about this carrier:1) needs a strap across the chest to distribute weight properly across shoulders and upper back 2) needs better padding in lubar area. I literally feel the bar rubbing against my back 3) I am 5’5″ and the lumbar adjustment bar is on the highest setting yet the bar still resting too low on the back 4)the kick stand that opens to place baby in carrier requires 2 hands to open because it is very stiff. I found it to be dangerous when trying to open the bar while my daughter is in carrier in order to remove her 5) the lower snap in part of the harness is located way too low in between childs legs making it difficult to snap straps in 6) the arm straps cut in to your armpit since this carrier is lacking the aformentioned strap across the chest. After 10 minutes you will feel your arms getting numb and you will find it even more uncomfortable in the armpit area when you attempt to extend your arms forward in a reaching position.If you look at the picture of the people wearing the carrier on kokopax website, you will notice how the carrier pulls under the models armpits. Compare that picture to the Chicco backpack carrier that has the strap across the chest and notice how that does not cut into the armpit area. I did not notice that before I made this purchase unfortunately. Aside from these important features which are lacking from this carrier there is a plus side: my daughter loves being in this thing and the pattern is cute but be prepared for backaches and irritation of your armpits! And yes I did adjust the carrier properly. There are only so many adjustments you can make.

4 Stars Simple, hip design–functional carrier
I am very fond of the way this carrier looks. Design is simple, functional, and the print is mature and nice to look at. My 8 month old (18lbs.) enjoys riding in this carrier. There’s a plastic ring that you can connect toys too and a pocket in the back for keys, etc…I can carry my son in this carrier for about an hour before my back begins to hurt. I’m not sure if its the carrier (which I seem to be able to adjust correctly) or if its me (i carry stress in my neck and back.)I’m not a big woman (5′ 2″-117 lbs) and I feel I’m nearing the end of carrying this kid around on my body b/c he’s just getting too heavy. His dad likes the carrier and takes him on walks around the neighborhood in it. He mentioned no flaws or pains with it.

5 Stars Product great, delivery lousy
We are very happy with the Kokopax city carrier. However, it was not delivered at first, and we had to contact Amazon to re-deliver the product. This second delivery got here, but long after the 2-day delivery time that had been promised.
