Picked this up last month for our 1 year old. So far have gone for a 1 mile, 2 mile, and today 3.5 mile hike with our daughter. I could go 10+ with this pack no doubt and no have any complaints. My daughter never cries, and it's extremely comfortable in action. Love the Osprey has a lifetime guarantee should it break no questions asked whether you bought it in 1970, or 2016. Started to rain today about 1.5 miles in, popped out the sun/rain fly that came with it and it worked like a charm. Love all the adjustable options on this pack, really makes it comfortable for baby and me. Have humped many of ruck sack marches with USMC with full combat load, this pack it great! Trust me.

The hip belt is a dealbreaker.

I heard such great reviews of the Osprey Poco Plus. When I heard they were coming out with a new model in 2016, I was more than excited to order the newer model and figured it could only get better. When I received the pack, everything on it was as described. I loved all the new features and thought this was the one. When I took it out on a short 3 mile hike, the hip belt pressed against my hipbones to the point where it was painful to walk. I'm a larger guy at 5'10" 180lbs with a 34" waist, but the natural position of the hip belt seemed to be more fitted for someone with a 24" waist. I carried my 21 month old daughter (who weighs 25lbs), and it was a miserable experience solely due to the hip belt. I made sure the hip belt was fitted correctly, but still ran into the same pinching issue. In comparison, I have a 65 liter pack which I normally load 50lbs of gear and have never had any issues with the hip belt. After reading other reviews from other sources, it seems that this model has a hard plastic sheet inside the hip belt and that may be causing the discomfort. Ultimately, I had to resort to an older model, which was much more comfortable. When I returned the Osprey Poco AG Plus, the REI employee said that it seemed as if all the new models of the Osprey Poco AG sold have been coming back for a return. I hope Osprey corrects this issue. Then, it would be 5* hands down!

The Best Child Carrier

6 years ago

I've owned a couple different child carries before this one and I will say, this one by far is the best. We chose this carrier because of it's flexibility, comfort and ample storage space. The straps are fully adjustable, we can adjust it to fit my wife or myself easily and quickly so the weight sits properly on our hips. It's also super comfortable to carry and has a ton of storage. We're able to carry a 3.0L hydration bladder in the hydration area, a 1.5L bladder for our child in the back, a day's worth of snacks for everyone, first aid kit, bug spray and sun screen, plus all the other stuff we'd need with a child such as clothing and diapers and have room to spare. It also has a great sun shade for our child. We also purchased the rain cover that goes with it and have needed it a couple times, it's great as well. I suspect I could have started using this carrier with her when she was a lot younger but my daughter is 2 right now and still has plenty of room to grow with it. All in all, I would highly recommend this carrier to anyone looking for a child carrier.

Best Backpack for our Big Boy

7 years ago

Easy to use at the trailhead & a lifesaver on the trail. We use this almost daily for 1-3hr hikes. Fits our large 8mo great, and is comfortable for me too (6’ 200+lbs). I do use it on the medium to small setting, so it might not work well for a shorter person. The stand feature has been so helpful during hikes, allowing my boy to safely sit while I rest. It distributes my boy’s 25lbs great & has yet to give me any sore spots. I hike in workout gear normally, but when I have worn jeans, I did feel the hip belt pinch slightly, so I just tightened up the shoulders which alleviated this. I think the ability to adjust all of the fittings on the hike is why it’s so comfortable, as you can adjust based on terrain. The sunshade is amazing and a huge benefit for our pale boy:) I do strongly suggest getting the rain gaurd too- it makes this pack the perfect pouch for our hiking buddy!

Great Child Carrier

8 years ago

I bought this pack during the sale and went on a short hike to Stewart falls (~4 miles) near Mt. Timp. Everything felt great, the pack fit me well. I'm 5'9" and 210 pounds and my boy is 22 pounds and the pack carried him and other things really well. My son slept for about a mile or so, so I imagine it's at least semi-comfortable if not more for him.

Great for around town

8 years ago

Before my child was born I wanted a "baby backpack". My wife and I live just outside of Chicago and winters can be quite chilly. I wanted a carrier that could keep her warm for the cold days but had some breathe-ability for the summer months. I hate strollers, I think they are cumbersome and impractical . I love the maneuverability that this bag has allowed. Walking through the snow, no problem. Taking her to the zoo, where everyone has a stroller, awesome, I can take the stairs and have no second thought about my route. Having the Osprey POCO AG makes Getting ready for outings while living in an apartment a breeze, no carrying a stroller with the diaper bag and my daughter out the door and down flights of stairs. My daughter loves being up high, she is able to see the world and has the ability to engage others. Now, the reason I gave it four stars is quite simple, a few other reviewers said it and it is a real issue. The hip straps do rub quite uncomfortably if you are on the thinner side. Being 6'1 and 160lbs I suffer from the chaffing hips. When I first discovered this, I called Osprey and they were willing to exchange it for an older model. So kudos to their customer service department, they were very helpful. In the end I kept the pack the way it is, I just make sure I have some padding of my own. All in all, I love my Poco AG, I get compliments all the time walking around town.

Only used once so far. My Child Loves it

6 years ago

Grain of Salt review... it feels comfortable at first. You have to take breaks occasionally. The hip pockets are very nice, but the extra sturdy hip wraps are painful after about 20-30 minutes (and really a nuance when putting it on your back). The step grip/nonskid on the back bar wraps down the bar too much. When you carry the pack in your hand (loading and unloading from vehicle/airport luggage, the abrasive strip will cut the skin on your hand and shin. There also needs to be a more friendly chewable surface in front of your child’s face, they are going to chew the cloth covering.

Love this carrier

8 years ago

My husband and I bought this pack to share while carrying our 8 month old on hikes. I loved it so much on our first hike that now I take our child and he gets the gear. It's very sturdy and well balanced. It doesn't shift as I change directions like other packs. Our child was very comfortable in it awake and asleep. I love all the pockets and thought that was put into a child's need for the pack.

Very pleased

8 years ago

Used this for the first time yesterday. Took our 1 1/2 year old son on a 5 mile hike to a waterfall. He was extremely comfortable and enjoyed being able to go places we wouldn't typically be able to take him. My husband said that it fit well and was very light weight. After reading some other reviews about the hip straps hurting, he said he could see how it could hurt if you wore it wrong. I was also very please with the assistance I received when in the store. I went without my husband and the women there was very attentive. She helped me fit the pack to my body and put a 10lb weigh in it for me to see how it fit with weight in it. Very pleased all around. We were also impressed when we realised the chest strap had a built in whistle on the clip. This was something we didn't see advertised but is an extra plus!

Nice gear

8 years ago

I bought this three weeks ago. Used it for several hikes in arches national park. Carried my 2 1/2 year old and he loved it. The stirrups were awesome. He slept quite well even in it. My one complaint is that the hip belt was tight, but I think it is due to my size. 215 lbs, I am sure it would be amazing for smaller frames. But as is I don't have any regrets and it was the best one I tried out.

Best child carrier!!

7 years ago

I absolutely love this child carrier. My husband and I are avid backpackers and couldn't wait to get our son on the trail. This carrier is so intuitive. The stir-ups for our sons feet are awesome. The pockets are plentiful and there is room enough for you to carry all baby needs and some of your own gear. The sun shield and separate rain fly are amazing and kept our little one dry. I would recommend to anyone. We have even used it for a concert and it was great. Held the blanket and gave our son a space to sit that was protective.
