Deuter Kid Comfort II baby backpack
Reviewer: Anonymous , Indianapolis, IN

Wonderful backpack. It is intuitive to use, as comfortable as it gets, and extremely useful when you need to pack your baby & baby gear to keep hands free. :)
We also highly recommend getting it from childcarriers.com. Their call staff helped us properly determine the right backpack for our needs & we will be using the Kid Comfort II for many years to come.

Kid Comfort II baby backpack
Reviewer: A. Samuels , Havre de Grace, MD

The Kid Comfort II lives up to its name for both the child and the parent. The baby loves the commanding view over the parents' heads, and the backpack does a superb job of distributing the load so that the carrying burden is minimal.
The straps are a little tricky to fasten with baby in the seat, but the baby is very secure and comfortable with the 5-point harness system backed up by the front and back pack walls. The kickstand works like a dream, and allows the pack to serve double duty as a temporary seat for baby as well as a child carrier (of course NEVER leave any child unattended).
Carrying the baby in the Deuter KCII is much less burden and work than a front carrier, and more comfortable for the child, too.
Parents need to take care when traveling through tight spots and under low branches. Also, in crowds it's easier than you might realize to swing the pack into someone's path, so turn around slowly.
This is a remarkable product that we know we will use for years.

Great for all of us!

Eli loves riding on the top of the world! This is a great way to travel through the airport and on walks. My husband wanted to use it while he mowed the lawn, but I saw him trying to pull start the lawnmower and Eli was being totally tossed around, duh! So I came out to start the mower and after that they had a great time. Another con that is not so easily avoided is sometimes Eli's chin will rub up against the front of the carrier when we are hiking bumpy terrain. I think this problem will disappear as he grows older and more used to it. All in all, we love it and baby loves it!

GREAT PACK!

This is one of the best purchases we've made for our little one. She loves it. We have travelled with it, used it shopping, hiking, skiing, walking around the neighborhood - it's just great. It is a bit large and bulky but when you figure that we leave our stroller at home and travel across the country with it, it's worth the size. The compartments hold a TON of stuff. We can pack our daughter's (11 months) supplies for about 4 days in it - food, diapers, clothing, toys, etc. She loves being up high and seeing everything - squeeling with delight. It is comfortable for both my husband and I to wear - I am about 5'8" and 140 lbs., while he is 5'10" and 200 lbs. The waist, shoulder and compression straps are easy to adjust from one adult to the other. We've used the sun shade and the rain canopy, both easy to use and effective. I would buy this again in a heart beat!

We Love the Deuter KCII

I've put some miles of walking on the Kid Comfort II now and can say that we-- me the sherpa and the baby-- are very happy with it.
Most importantly, the baby (a 6 month who weighs 20 lbs) likes riding. She apparently finds it comfortable, enough to fall asleep in when she's tired.
Baby fusses only when put in and taken out of the carrier. Indeed, this part of the pack system could probably be better. The trickiest part are the clips for the shoulder straps. These twist on the straps and are somewhat difficult to get locked in place since the buckle is down around the child's navel. The trick is to push apart the front and back of the seat with one hand/arm while snapping the buckles into place with the other. (Note: There are two main ways the child is secured: the shoulder straps which have a lower buckle, a chest buckle, and which tighten at the back of the pack; and side flaps which tighten with exterior buckles. All these other parts of the system are easy to use.)
Besides this the pack is great. I find it very comfortable-- much more so than say a front facing baby carrier and often more convenient than a stroller for city walking. The pack itself is light and the storage pockets are very handy. The pack is rather large and bulky and does take up some space. I recently traveled with it by plane, however, placed in the same duffle bag with a car seat without any problem. I've used it much more than the car seat & stroller while traveling.
Lastly, I'm glad to be able to get a sun shade, which I just ordered.
I give it 4.5 stars on account of the shoulder buckle.
