Sports reviews of Kelty Convertible Child Carrier
Customer Review: A terrific product for traveling with kids
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
We purchased this prior to a month-long trip around Italy and Greece with our 2 year old. It proved to be one of the best things we could have brought. It's large enough to comfortably hold a 27 pound toddler and he was very happy riding around in it. We've been using it as our main stroller ever since. We also purchased the sunshade and I'd definitely recommend adding that. It stows away nicely and kept our son much happier and cooler as we walked around. He loves putting the shade on and riding around in his "house." Converting between backpack and stroller was a snap but it usually required a second person to safely take on or off.
As a backpack:
When adjusted properly it's pretty comfortable but after carrying all 40lbs of backpack + kid for more than 2-3 hours it would start to bother me and I'd have to take a break. With a younger/lighter child I would imagine you could carry it all day without issue. It's very well made. The only real downside was that it makes a pretty large backpack so it was inadvisable to wear it inside stores, museums, or anywhere with smaller spaces.
As a stroller:
This was built as a backpack first and a stroller second so it's not as good as some purpose-built strollers we've owned but it gets the job done. The front wheels have the annoying habit of sticking and not turning/rolling properly when on smooth surfaces. The stroller's height is wonderful for accomodating older/taller kids and even using as a makeshift high chair as other reviewers have noted but its high center of gravity also makes it easier to tip over. Our little escape artist managed to wriggle out of it and tip himself over twice when we got distracted (fortunately he did little more than scare himself). Anyway, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it but it needs more supervision than the average stroller. Now for the good stuff: It's so small and light for a stroller than you can manuever it and carry it all over the place. We gave it a severe beating with a month of bouncing over European cobblestones (especially Rome's) and it took it well. As long as you're not on a really smooth surface, it would roll very easily. It's comfortable enough that my son even managed to take his nap in it most days. We clipped a stuffed animal and some of his other toys to the many little loops and he'd use the stuffed toy as a pillow.
All in all, this is a very well designed, sturdy product and I'd highly recommend it to anyone as a travel stroller.
