The one-of-a-kind Kelty Convertible Carrier is both a baby backpack and a walking stroller in one. With just a few simple adjustments you will be able to switch back and forth between the twin modes, and can even make the switch without having to remove your child from the cockpit. Benefits for Mom and Dad If you are a parent that enjoys the closeness of a carrier but wants to retain the option to stroll, the Convertible Carrier may be the way to go. For strolling in well-paved urban environments, the Convertible performs well and is fairly maneuverable. Comfort: This latest version of the Convertible Carrier has a few adjustments and improvements over the previous Kelty Convertible model, such as a partition between the storage basket and leg rest that will keep your child's feet out of the basket, thus preventing her from pressing down and stopping the wheels during strolls. In addition, the fold-over cover keeps the wheels from rubbing against your back when using the Convertible as a baby backpack, and the back support underwent some needed improvements. The shoulder and waistbelt are padded and adjust to suit your size, and the mesh back panel is great for releasing heat. There's also a torso length adjustment to assure you get the right balance for the pack. Convenience: Versatility is the name of the game with the Kelty Convertible. You can switch from stroller to backpack in seconds with a few simple adjustments, and the load lift straps make it easier to hoist a child up to 50 lbs onto your shoulders for a carry. Simply unlock the handlebar, close it down with the no-pinch hinges, fold in the legs, and your stroller is now a baby backpack with padded waist support and ample storage space. Benefits for Babe Raised up on your back or strolling along smoothly on the sidewalk, through the zoo, or around the aisles of the local mall, your child will be comfortable and secure riding in the versatile Kelty Convertible Carrie
