 Easy to Use and Fantastic for Travel June 24, 2008

We bought a larger Kelty child carrier when my older daughter was born and have loved it for hiking, but when we were preparing for a trip to London, we realized travelling with two strollers (or a double stroller) was next to impossible and the Kelty child carrier we had is not really travel friendly. We purchased this carrier for the trip and it was the only "can't live without" item that we packed for our trip. I love that the diaper bag zips off for when we didn't need it--or so I could put the larger backpack in the overhead compartment and smaller bag under the seat on the plane. (There's also another zipper compartment in the pack itself allowing for carrying items in the backpack). When we were getting on and off the plane, I carried our 15 month old on and off the plane in the carrier--leaving my hands free for carrying bags or holding my three year old's hand.
In London, we used this carrier everywhere--for walks around the neighborhood, visiting the sites and museums, on the Tube, etc (the instructions do say not to use for public transportation--but for longer trips, we'd just take our daughter out of the carrier once we got on). For the times I was without my husband, but had both girls, my older child could ride in the small umbrella stroller we brought and I could carry my younger daughter in the backpack.
I'm only 5'2" (size 2) and my daughter weighs over 20 lbs, but I have absolutely no difficulty getting the backpack on by myself with her in it. (It's best to practice with someone else at first, but the instructions provide good guidance for doing it by yourself.) My husband is 5'11" and it fits both of us very well.
Now that we're back home, I use the carrier when I'm travelling downtown with my daughter--she rides next to me on the train and when we get off, into the carrier she goes so we can walk. This way, I don't have to try to find the elevators or otherwise fuss with a stroller. Getting on and off the train is so much easier. And, the sides of the backpack cinch up with the child isn't in the carrier--so it just looks like a large backpack.
Great backpack for inner city adventures too!!! April 25, 2008

My husband & I recently purchased this Kelty kid carrier to use while we were in Washington D.C. so we didn't need a stroller. It was PERFECT! We were able to put our 4 month old in the carrier bwhen he was awake (his head would fall over when he was snoozing) & it would still hold our entire diaper bad contents, a couple snacks for Mom & Dad and 2 water bottles! It was great to have on the Metro and he loved to look around!
WE LOVE KELTY!
By the way, I'm 5'7" and a size 4, it fit great!!!! Husband is 6'2" and wears a 34, also fit him great!!!!

We have the Kelty Journey already, which we like but we have 2 now to carry. Also, I'm only 5'2" and just couldn't make that one comfortable for me. I was looking for something smaller but still useful for short hikes. This has been perfect.
I'm still looking for the perfect setting but i know it's there! the backpack is huge and there's an extra diaper bag part that comes off. It's a little difficult to load my daughter because it doesn't stand on it's own but that also makes it lighter. My older daughter is about 36" tall and doesn't fit very well in the seat.
I like it because it's not as big and bulky. I feel like I can still move. I think it's great for short hikes and even shopping. If you're a serious hiker, it's probably not sturdy enough.
one other silly thing we didn't think of is that the weight limit (i think is 40 lbs) includes what you carry, not just the kid!
