Reviews for Deuter Kid Comfort I baby backpack

We've had this backpack about five months and we love it. We were using a hand-me-down Evenflo with absolutely no parent padding for the winter. Our daughter loved the ride and the view but it was uncomfortable for both my husband and myself. The Deuter is comfortable, adjustable and well-worth the investment. My daughter sits close to my body which I like. I don't feel like I am being pulled backward by her weight. The hip belt and sternum strap really help keep the weight off my shoulders. I have no pain when wearing this backpack and I had crippling pain with the Evenflo and the Bjorn. My husband and I are about the same height, 5'10 1/2", although my husband has a longer torso, and it works well for both of us. My daughter, now 22 months old, loves riding in the pack. I looked for a backpack with an exposed frame so she would have somewhere to rest her feet. Being able to rest her feet on something gives her the ability to shift around and get comfortable if she needs to, and keeps those little feet and legs from getting restless and falling asleep. The backpack itself is small so if I wear it when going into to town, I can go into stores easily. I generally use it in place of a stroller in situations like that. We've used it hiking, for street fairs, walks into town and are all three very happy that we made the investment.
