+ The light, quick-fold base for stable set down is a great feature. The harness and back length are adjustable and there’s room for a hydration system. The zipped hip-belt pocket is useful and there’s a slimline changing mat and bag for essentials.
– For a very young child, I’d rather carry them on my front where I can see them. Yet at 12kg, I found my daughter too heavy to carry in this pack. The rain cover is flimsy and gappy, with plastic clips that are impossible to use with cold hands.

Verdict: It is a good looking, compact carrier that’s ideal for lighter children.
