    Have tried a couple of carriers from different brands. Thule sapling is the best one! Our baby likes it. I'm super happy with its design, even though it's not the finalist of IF design.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

    We go to amusement parks, long rucks, hikes, family walks etc, and we use this each time. There is so much storage, we packed snacks, diapers, wipes, bottles of water, our wallets, phones, and still had some room. My daughter has used this for the last two years, and she gets excited to get in it. My husband and I take turns on rides at amusement parks and we easily switch the carrier without issue. It is well balanced, and when adjusted correctly, it should not cause discomfort.

    My baby seems extremely comfortable in the carrier. She is 8 months old and we've been using it for the past month. I believe the way the carrier is designed is optimal for babies comfort compared to other carriers. She is in a very comfortable seating position compared to other carriers where babies are in a more upright position. The carrier also has a very sturdy build. It looks and feels very high quality. However I do unfortunately have a complaint. I am rather petite. I mesure about 5'5 and weight 110 lbs. I feel like I can't quite get the carrier to fit me perfectly. I would need the hip straps to tighten just a little more and the sliding back portion to reach a little lower. I feel like the carrier was mostly designed for men and also fits girls of a more regular build….which is very annoying. A lot of women are my size and we should be able to carry our babies comfortably and enjoy a hike together!

    Purchased this for my second child after debating for some time, so glad that we did. The difference between this and other carriers for both baby (use it for almost 2 year old & 8 month old) and wearer comfort is impressive, as with all our Thule products the engineering and thought that goes into them is unmatched.

    Just hiked 30km over a few days on recent trip to Jasper with my giant 21 lbs 6 months old and this backpack is awesome. Comfy for both me and bubs. Love that it has a wide seat and washable parts. Baby was cozy even in cold and rain. Additional rain cover is great for both rain and cold alpine winds.

    My ALL TIME FAVORITE child carrier!

    I've used several hiking packs over the years, but the Thule Sapling is my very favorite! I've hiked countless miles with it, and have been using it 2-3 times a week for the last 12 months for my 18month old. Here's what makes it stand out from my last child carrier packs: - COMFORT: This is HUGE. My last child carrier would give me large welts on my hips when carrying a heavy child for longer than 6-7 miles. Last summer I had some long back to back days carrying my heavy child for 14-16 miles each day. I was worried.. but no welts! Also, I believe the cockpit of this is more comfortable than the other types of cockpits on the market. My little guy seems happier to be in here for longer periods of time than in other carriers. The adjustable fit of the pack also accommodates my very tall husband and my frame as well. Side Openings: The sides of this pack TOTALLY open, to allow for bigger feet/boots to fit. This is different from other packs we've tried! I no longer have to struggle to fit in boots (even ski boots!) of my kiddo no that he's in bigger shoes. Packs Down: This pack is so easy to travel with- it packs down totally flat! LOVE THIS. I can't rave about this pack enough! I've been carrying kids almost non-stop for the last 8+ years- I wish I would've had this exact pack from the very beginning.

    The Thule Sapling was the perfect pack for us to carry our little one on hikes, vacation, through the airport, anywhere when we needed to be hands free but bring her along! We tried a few other backpacks and I think this was the most comfortable for her and us! The storage in the back was great for trips and the sunshade protected her on hot days. Highly recommend!
