Our baby loves it!
Yes , I recommend this product
The Sapling works perfect for Hiking needs. It has adequate storage space and a built in sunscreen. Our 9 month old loves being able to see everything and regularly falls asleep in the backpack, so it must be comfy. We would recommend this product!

Best Day Hiker Pack Out There
Yes , I recommend this product
Amazing! Very Comfortable for people of all sizes (I'm 6'1 and my wife is 5'3). Easy to get on and off by yourself and has room for extra layers of clothing, snack and hydration. This is the perfect product for day hikers. You can adjust this product in so many ways (easily) which makes for a comfortable wear. I've never felt stiff or off balance with this pack.
