Love it!!
Love, love, love this backpack. Tried the AG version but hip belt dug into our hips. Returned for this one and are so happy. We used it to travel around Washington state, hiking on Rainier and Mt Baker. My son loved it. The extra storage was perfect. We particularly liked the pull out rain cover which came in and out easily on rainy WA days. My son appreciated the food straps so he didn't spend days with dangling legs. The detachable backpack was perfect when we needed to share the weight or as a diaper bag when the frame carrier wasn't in use. Overall, Ingive this pain my highest ratings!
Amazing Pack. Well Worth the Investment
So I normally forget to write reviews but I was intentional with this one. First, I'm a PT. Second, I'm a mom. As a PT I love this pack. Very supportive, great for the sacroiliac joint, helps relieve back soreness associated with pelvis instability, adjustable and comfortable. As a mom I love this pack because my little guy loves the outdoors. He's 9 months and we go on 3 hour hikes at least once a week. He loves it! Spendy but worth the bucks if you're an outdoor enthusiast or if you have back pain and still want to be able to carry your little one. Update 4/28/2016: The 2016 model is super uncomfortable in the hip belt!! I do NOT recommend the 2016 model. This 2015 model is great. The only downside is the child seat slides down sometimes.
Better than Kelty Journey 2.0
FYI, this is a long review. I have twin 10 month old boys and a Pocco Premium and a Kelty Journey 2.0. Recently, we just took both packs and boys across country by plane and then returned by train, with several days on hiking in Glacier NP along the way. While they are both comfortable packs to carry that both boys like riding in, we like the Pocco for several reasons: Carrying: I'm 6'4", 205# and had no issues carrying this pack comfortably. It fits very similarly to my Osprey Atmos 50. Both packs are adjustable for the wearer. The Pocco has shoulder straps which move up and down and the kelty has a waist strap which slides up and down. My wife is 5'9" and can comfortably wear both packs. I'm not how it would work for shorter people but the best bet is to try it on or something similar. Child harness: the child harness secures the child well and is easy to operate when you have a flailing baby. While the boys like riding in the carrier, they don't always cooperate going in them. The shoulder straps are easy to fold forward under the carrying handle so feet slide in easily. In the Kelty, the harness gets caught under the baby and you have fight the straps out once the baby is in place. For reference, the boys are about 21 lbs and 31" long. I don't have experience carrying bigger kids in this pack. I did notice that the Pocco has adjustable stirrups for kids with longer legs. The kelty does not have something like this. Several days, the boys spent several hours in the packs while we did long hikes 10+ miles. We took them out to stretch and eat, but they loved riding high and seeing everything. They enjoy the upright position over sitting in car seats and strollers. Sun shade: the sun shade stays permanently attached and only requires two easy buckles, about an 8 second process. If you need to get to baby, just unbuckle the shade. The kelty is not attached and takes about 30-45 to errect and if you need to get to baby you have to take the whole thing off, which is held in place by Velcro feed-through tabs - not the easiest with cold and windy conditions. Rain cover: I use the Pocco rain cover on both carriers (even on the kelty, modified with elastic retainers, it was on sale) and they kept the babies dry and comfortable in some heavy rain spells and worked great against wind as well. Flying: my wife and I flew cross country with both packs as carry on and they worked great. No issues at security and we even fit them overhead in an E320 which was super easy. The packs served as portable high chairs for feeding. If my wife needed to take a baby into the bathroom, the baby could sit in the pack as compared to having to be worn when she travelled with them in a soft carrier. This may be a twin consideration or someone travelling by themself. Detachable pack: while it's small, it's the perfect sized diaper bag while travelling, especially in the plan and even in restaraunts. This kelty doesnt have this option though I think other kelty models may. Changing pad: I didn't think this was a useful thing until I was in several dirty bathrooms without changing tables. Mesh pockets: Osprey is known for their mesh pockets and this pack doesn't leave them out, 4 in total. The two low ones are big enough for water bottles and can be accessed while pack in worn. Two upper pockets are convenient for stashing all the socks and toys my kids kick off and throw away. The kelty doesn't have any easy access mesh pockets except for a water bottle holder and phone holder on the waist belt. The Pocco does have two pockets on the waist belt and one on the left shoulder strap. They aren't big enough for newer phones but fit snacks or several granola bars each ( since this is the internet I'll clarify that the granola bars are for me). Storage: the Pocco is slightly larger than the this Malty and I like how the volume is allocated on the Pocco better. The large bottom pocket is voluminous enough for a large blanket for picnics or my clothes for a week of travel. The bottom stabilizing bars stays popped out when this pocket is full making you a bigger ramming device while navigating the urban grocery stores but not a concern on the trails. The Kelly's stabilizing bar folds up when you put the pack on making it a slimmer profile for the urban environment but the bar doesn't pop out immediately when you take it off, so sometimes you have to kick it out when you take it off. A small thing, but it all adds up and you don't want your kid faceplanting while you have them strapped in. Hydration pouch: on the Pocco this pouch is hurried under the baby along seat and can onlyeasily be accessed without the baby. I used this pocket to store the rain cover and drank from bottles but I think a bladder would be easy to use with it and would not upset the baby's ride. The kelty had an easier accessed hydration pocket which was under the baby's feet. Our son was small enough that he would sometimes use this pocket as a sort of shelf to stand up or at least push himself up on from time to time. I still just used it to store the rain fly but I could see using a bladder being problematic since our son's foot frequently wound up inside the elastic hose port. Overall, I like the Pocco better for a lot of little reasons as discussed. The kelty was a gift and as I stated up front, both babies like riding in both carriers and both were easy to carry for both my wife and I. I chose to get the Pocco because it was on sale but like the other Osprey packs I've carried all over the world this one hasnt disappointed.
Great packs...
I brought these packs in May 2016 for trip out west. Very happy that I did. They worked out just great.
Good, but tricky hydration sleeve
Generally I am pretty happy with this backpack. It is easily adjustable, and seems comfortable for the little ones. The removable daypack is a nice feature, as is the bulk head storage at the bottom. My only complaint is that it is unreasonably difficult to get a bladder in and out of the hydration sleeve. I'm using a Camelback 3L bladder. It might be easier with a smaller one, but since I'm typically carrying water for the family, I wouldn't want less.
