Great Carrier!
We use this carrier often on long walks, hikes and even bouldering. We worried that our 8 month old, chunky son would find the narrow seat uncomfortable, but he preferred it over the Deuters. It is lightweight and easy to use once you figure it out. The sunshade on the poco plus is a great feature, we love how easily it slides into place and then tucks back in. The bottom compartment is a great size and in combination with the other pockets holds everything we could need for a day hike. It took some getting used to, but our son loves riding in it now, especially since he sits so high up on my back. The only problem is that my wife finds it slightly uncomfortable because the straps are stiff.
Loco for the Poco
With spring rolling around, I knew I wanted to take my nephew outdoors. I was deciding between the Deuter (I have one of their daypacks and love it) and this. But when I went to REI and tried them both on, I liked the way the Poco felt on me better. At 5'1", it's very hard to find a pack that fits well, and knowing how much weight I would be lugging around, it was important that it distributed the weight well. From the very first trip, he loved it! There were many adjustments that made the fit comfortable for him. He won't use the leg stirrups yet, but I can see how they will increase his comfort on longer treks. I like that the harness clips behind him so that he can't undo it. The built-in sunshade is a HUGE bonus, and also acts as a tree block when I forget that he's a little higher than my head :-P There are ample pockets, but I do wish the hip ones were large enough to fit a modern smart phone. We both love the Poco. When he sees it, he runs to it and tries to get it. It's so great that we get to spend special time together, and I hope it opens his eyes to the wonders of nature.
So happy we found Osprey!
I researched every baby carrier out there :) I actually never came across the Osprey until we went to REI to try on the Deuters. We are so happy we found Osprey. The middle of the line bag (Poco plus) gives you just as many features as all of the other brands top of the line carriers (I.e. sunshade, padding, storage). There is a great storage space for the sunshade and it covers the baby so well! There is a big compartment for storage and a few little pockets. It seemed like the only difference between the poco plus an the premium was a detachable day pack...which we didn't not need for $60 extra. I think you can even attach your own day pack to the poco plus. My husband fell while snowshoeing and the baby was snug as a bug. I'm not sure i would recommend for babies much younger than 4 months, but it worked beautifully for our 8 month old. No regrets! I can't wait to use it a million more times!
Osprey Poco AWESOME!!!
Moose and I use this product at least 4 days a week, averaging 3-8 miles per hike. The Osprey pack is comfortable for him as well as myself.
Great Child Carrier
I chose the Poco child carrier because I already have an Osprey pack that I used for hiking and camping which I am very pleased with. I wanted to buy a child carrier from a company that had experience with pack construction with leaves only a few companies which Osprey is one of. I have found every feature to be well thought and perfectly executed. The fit is just as comfortable as their hiking packs and very adjustable (I am 6'4" 230lbs and I have been able to get it to fit just right). The space underneath is enough for a day's worth of supplies. I also got the rain cover and it fits great and packs down small.
Love, love, love!!!
We purchased this product after our 21 month old daughter had out-grown every other carrier out there. We LOVE the Poco Plus!!! It is comfortable for us, and she loves the ride and view from the carrier. We have already used this in several state parks, and plan on taking it to Acadia next month. This carrier does not compare to anything else we've tried! We have gladly loaned it to several friends who also LOVED it! The only tricky part will be collapsing it down enough to fit it into a suitcase...
Very sweet carrier! A must have!
Loved this backpack and my daughter does as well. I have an injured back and carrying the baby on all day events can be very challenging. This pack distributes the babies weight evenly across my body like a hiking pack. Plus there are lots of pockets and a storage pouch big enough to fit all the items in her diaper bag. Osprey = Quality, i have learned, and this purchase was a huge success!
Great Baby Carrier
My daughter just turned 1 and we bought this in preparation for a camping trip to Zion National Park. It's a great, great baby carrier. The sun shade is awesome, the unit is sturdy and with an additional daypack can carry a lot. I even put my hydration bladder inside. There's almost nothing I don't like about this product. A couple notes: 1. The cell phone pocket on the front isn't going to hold a large smart phone. Keep that in mind. A Nexus 4 doesn't fit and something like an HTC One won't either. 2. The side belt pockets aren't terribly convenient to get to. They're okay, but not great. 3. I strongly suggest getting this model over the Premium. The only differences are that the Premium comes with a build on day pack and a changing pad. You're better off getting something like an Osprey DayLite pack which will connect to this carrier and will be useful when not using the child carrier.
a most useful piece of "baby gear"
Bought this for my granddaughter when she was about 3 1/2 months old but had good head control. Wrap style carriers and other soft carriers just were no longer comfortable for her or the person carrying her. It is VERY adjustable for the baby and for the parent. Lydia usually falls asleep in it!
Poco Plus saves a back!
For those who have tried the front carriers, rejoice, there is a way to carrier your child and not kill your back. The Poco Plus has everything you need. I spent two weeks carrying my son around Venice, Italy and have not stopped using it. While it was ideal for Venice, don't bother taking a stroller there, too many bridges and stairs. This is so comfortable and easy to use, I use it every day for walks as well as just carrying my son around .
