Backpack is great, but AG not so much

We bought this backpack as a transition from a soft carrier for longer hikes with our two boys. The backpack overall is great, but the AG didn't work at all for me or my husband. The AG hip straps dug into our hips which became painful on longer hikes. We sent it back for the non-AG version and are VERY happy!

Hip Belt is a Deal Breaker
ANACO
8 years ago
Bought this a week ago and it is going back to rei. After a Couple of short 3 mi hikes the hip belt had cut into my hips, and when I say cut I do mean break the skin and blood. I have never had this issue with backpacking packs with as much or more weight in them. I had also previously been using an older Kelty carrier a friend had given us without any problems on much longer hikes. It was also difficult to get a full hydration reservoir in the pack, but I was able to get a camelbak reservoir in. Did like the compartment where the child sits. Easy to get my 18 lb 9 month old in and out. Liked that the pack flattens. The sun shade was nice too, just raise and lower with the bottom compartment empty to avoid jamming.

we love our pack!

8 years ago

After researching packs, we settled in this one because we liked the foot straps. We were hoping it would slow our wiggly son to feel like he could shift his weight and get comfortable. He loves the pack and even fell asleep in it once! I have used it on long hiking (long with a toddler being 3 hours) and on shorter walks around the neighborhood. The cushioning, foot straps really do make it comfy for him. Some have complained about the hip belt but I don't find it to be uncomfortable. I am 5'1 and wear the pack on the smallest settings all around, and I would assume that fit really matters. The pack is very adjustable and I find it to be comfortable.

Awesome carrier for my lil dude

8 years ago

Great carrier pack for hiking or any time where you are walking around for extended periods and want your kid on your back. I found it very comfortable and did not experience any discomfort from the hip straps, quite the opposite actually. I liked how the hip straps squeeze or fit snug, really helps distribute the load of your child and pack onto your hips. I highly recommend watching the fitting video from Osprey for this pack. The shoulder straps are soft and comfortable. This pack is definitely high quality, down to the littlest of details and is very sturdy and well built and its great knowing that it is backed by Osprey's and REI's warranty. I found that this pack has plenty of storage for diaper changes, lunch, extra clothing, toys, etc. My son seems to find it very comfortable and falls asleep quite easy. The built in sun shade is great and very effective. Overall I can't really ask for anything more in a child carrier for hiking.

Hip Belt is Awful, Awful, Awful!

8 years ago

I just bought this pack during the Memorial Day sale, 2017. In less than 2 miles the hip belt was becoming unbearable, and by that I mean creating sores. I have a 33" waist and have worn multiple brands and types of packs. Never have I had an issue like this before. I've contacted Osprey and they're supposed to be sending new foam to fix the issue. REI, it would be awesome if you would send the new foam with the 2016 packs instead of leaving it to the customers to contact Osprey to fix this problem on our own. You know it's a widespread issue, contrary to what one of your staff responders indicated.

Awesome pack!

8 years ago

This is both a great hiker and also better than a stroller. Super comfortable, and you can tell a lot of thought went into the design of everything. I use the removable backpack as a diaper bag when we aren't using it. Then I slap it on the carrier when I'm out with my daughter alone, as an added convenience. If you get a Spring 2016 backpack because REI can't guarantee the date of manufacture, and you find the hip straps uncomfortable, contact Osprey and they will send you the new foam!

Awesome Features!!! - Still carrying thin hip belt

8 years ago

I just ordered/received on; Manufacture date was Jan. 2016. REI still carrying 2016 Poco. Hip belt does seem thin. Going to see how it goes. Kind of disappointed. I waited to buy it this year due to the complaints. Don't forget the 1yr REI Satisfaction Guarantee. Buy it, see if it works. If it doesn't, REI has your back. Aside from the hip belt, which may or may not bother you, the pack is Awesome! Easy adjusting, plenty of storage options, and lightweight!

Stroller? What stroller

8 years ago

I bought the Osprey Poco AG premium Child Carrier a few weeks ago. After a few trial runs to get the right settings and strap lengths we placed the baby inside. He absolutely loved it. It's easy to pack the baby and his diapers, the weight of the pack is supported well and it's easy to put the pack down and remove the baby. The mirror included is a nice touch .

Very Uncomfortable Hip Belt!!!

9 years ago

I loved the previous model (2015) but this new model is really frustrating! The belt DIGS INTO YOUR HIPS and is so uncomfortable when hiking. I don't know who suggested it or why it was suggested to change the design of the belt. The previous design was so comfortable and is why I loved the 2015 model. The 2016 design is great other than the stiff hip belt.

Best child carrier ever

8 years ago

If I had a dollar for every time someone wanted to know more about this pack or if I could carry them I wouldn't need a job anymore. My wife and I purchased our first Poco four years ago for our daughter and another 2 years ago for my son. These packs have seen countless miles of trails in CO and UT. In addition they are absolutely brilliant at the Zoo (the kids can see over the adults). Like other Osprey packs we own they have stood the test of time. We love being outside exploring. When we had kids we were concerned that we may have to sacrifice some of that time. Not with the Poco packs. Our kids are comfortable and excited to get into them. They will even climb into them when I'm packing the car. The built-in shade is amazing. Especially during exposed hikes in the desert. Now that our kids are starting to hike more on their own it is still nice to use these packs for when they get tired. The carrying capacity (especially on the premium) makes it great as a day pack. I would highly recommend this series of packs to anyone with kids that loves being outside!
