Piggyback Rider - Scout Standing Child Carrier Backpack for Events & Travel - Complete Parent & Child Set with Secure Safety Harness for Ages 2-4, Toddler Carrier Up to 50lbs

Got this for a vacation trip where we were worried our (not so) little one would get tuckered out on hikes and long outings but wouldn't have a stroller available. (And we weren't keen on carrying him in our arms for long periods.) I was nervous about three things: 1) If he would even be willing to 'ride' on this at all 2) If it would be comfortable for us having him on there for any length of time 3) The price given #1 & #2 Turns out this was a huge hit for all of us. He wasn't just willing, he LOVED getting on our backs and standing up on the bar, he could see things from that vantage point but felt secure and comfortable and wasn't being constantly shifted between different positions and people carrying him. He did occasionally get excited and put his weight on one side or the other for a minute but it wasn't actually an issue shifting him back and he never felt like he would slip. With some adjustments (the harness has straps to tighten etc) it was fine carrying the weight (~40lbs in our case). You do feel the weight but not in ways that strain your body. We hiked in a forest and did a couple of miles on city streets and it was fine. And when done you're not aching once you take it off. Given how great it worked and that it's so portable and light to pack/carry the price is actually great value. Doesn't replace a stroller or wagon for long distances but fantastic for traveling or when you're going somewhere where those big carriages can't go. Definitely recommend it for kids getting too big for strollers but not going to survive long distances walking themselves the whole time.

Love this Piggyback Rider! Our son is pretty tall for his age and too big to sit in a regular stroller when he gets tired (amusement parks, hikes, long walks). I purchased this before our recent trip to Disney and my son was nervous trying it out for the first time but got the hang of it fairly quickly. It was a hit in Disney. We spent the whole day walking around all 4 parks and this was very convenient when he needs a break from walking. It's especially helpful when you just want to get somewhere fast and you have to navigate through big crowds. We didn't have our son pulling on our arms as he dragged along as we were trying to go from one ride to another in a timely fashion. People would just stare at us, take pictures and ask us about it everywhere we would go. Most comments were, "That's genius!!!" It can handle however much weight the carrier is able to tolerate. Even our 9 year old hopped on a few times during the day. We couldn't be more pleased with this product. It was great for watching fireworks! It was perfect for our trip and looking forward to using it again. A life and time saver! It is very light and easy to use. Highly recommended.

We bought our Piggyback Rider two years ago when my daughter was nearly two because we spend a lot of time at theme parks and she was not interested in riding in a stroller. She will be four soon and we still use it occasionally but not nearly as much as I would have liked for the price. The Pros: -Rider is small & lightweight enough to fit in a diaper bag, keep in the car between uses, or wear without a kid in it. -It’s wonderful for things like parades and shows because it gets the kid up to adult height without blocking other people’s view the way it does when a kid sits on your shoulders. -It’s very easy to put on & take off if you have another adult with you, so it’s no big deal if the kid changes their mind about wanting up or down. -It is a lot faster to move through a large crowded area wearing this, than trying to get a toddler to focus on where you are walking. The Cons: -It is somewhat better than carrying a kid on your shoulders, but still pretty painful. I’m 5’3” and my husband is 5’11” and neither of us have ever been able to wear it more than an hour or so without a break. There just isn’t enough padding and weight distribution with this the way there is with a traditional baby carrier. -The bar slides down on one side and up on the other if the child shifts their weight, making it difficult to keep them balanced and occasionally putting a lot of pressure on the adult’s spine. -It still requires the child to stand during use so it is only a partial break for them while adding burden to the adult. -It’s quite challenging to put on without another adult around. Overall, I wouldn’t say that I regret this purchase but I’m also not raving about it to my friends. It’s one of those things that is handy to have around if you really have the extra money, but isn’t worth the splurge if things are tight financially.

This thing is more designed for hiking, but I recently ran/power walked a 5K with my kid strapped on and it got the job done. My son is a tall 5yo that weighs 50lbs. The harness system was just too complicated for frequent hopping on and off of the rig, so he held on to two straps located on the shoulders. (See photo 2) There was a lot of bouncing when running, but it was manageable at a fast power walk pace. The metal bar/your kids feet will be whacking you in the rear and hamstrings pretty much the entire time, to some degree. The construction of the piggyback rig is solid, though the adjustment straps for the back bar eventually did loosen and had to be tightened a couple times. But with that said, my son is at the maximum weight and I was moving at a fast pace. I would recommend it more for trail hiking, but it will work if you’re bringing a child on a race with you and they’re just too big for a stroller.

Initially my 2.5 year old didnt want to go on it but with some perseverance about not carrying her she uses this all the time. It's easy to use and so handy to have when shes tired so we can go on longer walks.

L’articolo corrisponde alla descrizione, piace al bimbo e al papà, dobbiamo provarlo in montagna, come prima prova a casa è andata bene. Abbiamo però ordinato il sostegno per la zona lombare della schiena che si lega al poggia piedi così non sbatte sempre contro la persona che sta portando il bambino.

Great product

My 3yo son loves this, there’s a few minor bits and pieces that could be better but overall it’s a great idea, the down sides are it can be a little bit difficult to clip him on and off by myself even with him being on a raised platform of some sort but I guess that’s always going to be the case with anything you strap to your back, my biggest gripe (and it’s a minor annoyance) I would have liked a better system to keep the excess straps contained as he has multiple that are over a foot long hanging loose all the time.

More padding on shoulders for adult to wear.
