Deuter KangaKid baby backpack -

Improvements made to the 2007 Deuter KangaKid baby backpack carrier: New attachable sunroof 5-point harness and Side loading technology that makes getting your baby in or out much easier Breathable child seat cushions More storage pockets New nylon micro rip-stop fabrics Small enough to fit easily into an overhead compartment on an airplane Optional Sun Roof Deuter created the KangaKid baby backpack carrier as a lightweight child carrier solution for multi-tasking, on the go parents. It combines the functionality of a full sized backpack with the convenience of a quality baby carrier. The first convertible child carrier, the KangaKid looks, and acts, like a large capacity backpack, it also has the thickly padded shoulder straps and waist belt of your usual baby backpack carrier. It passes for a backpack, but unzipping the front portion of your Deuter KangaKid reveals a thickly padded, size-adjustable child cockpit where your kid gets a free ride. Thanks to the new side loading technology, getting them in and out of the cockpit is much easier than it used to be. As a backpack, the KangaKid is excellent: plenty of space, and no shortage of compartments. As a carrier, there are other models with frames and more thickly padded straps that will ease strain during long trips, but if you need a carrier that lets you get your child in and quickly you can't do much better. This Deuter carrier isn't designed for hiking, but will do the job too well if you're taking your carrier to the mall or through the airport.
