My daughter is at the upper end of the weight capacity, she is 4 but not ready to tackle full hikes yet. The pack part is comfortable even with 38lbs riding. I really like that she is right in my ear telling me about everything she sees, it’s a pretty cool experience to be at eye level and just talking. 2 negatives I see: I wish there was a Velcro piece or something to stow the bar when she’s off so it’s not just bouncing off my rear, and a wider bar so her feet could go outside my hips/ obliques would make a comfortable wear as well. Overall great product.

Great idea, good execution, good quality. My problem, I ordered it from Canada and shipping, fees and customs made the thing just too expensive... I don't know yet if it was worth it... I like it, but I will see about the value... The test: Canadian GP in Montreal... will see how it goes...

Quick delivery but forgot my selfie stick. Was very helpful and fast to get one sent though.

We haven’t taken it on the trail yet- but this seems great. It gives us an option to piggy back our 5 year old when he gets to the stage of “I’m tired, can we go home now”. I expect this will save our walking trails from extra grumbles:) thanks piggy back. Simple but effective!

I really like the idea of this, but there are a few things I'd like to change. First, I wish the kids harness had a chest buckle. I plan to use this in the winter while snowshoeing, and it seems like while my kid is wearing a puffy coat and mittens that it won't be very secure, like he could slip out! Second, I got the side pocket accessory, and I really wish it was more secure, or that it at least had a zipper. It just flops around as I walk, and I worry that whatever is in it will fall out. I probably won't end up using it, and will end up wearing a fanny pack or something to carry my phone and keys. I just wish there was an easily accessible pocket somewhere in the front for those kinds of things. Other than that, I really like this product. It's super easy to use, and my kid loves being able to stand up and see everything!

Helpful staff returned my message. I had some trouble finding the accessory I was looking for, and the product search could be improved, but the transaction was good.

Amazing product- we used it for our 5 year old/ 45lb child at DISNEY! If you stay at Disney for 5 Days+ the cost of the Piggy Back Rider is equivalent to daily stroller rental fees- and you can use it again and again! Worked wonders trying to get through the crowds- with a stroller it wouldve been such a tedious task not having people trip over your child and maneuvre around groups of people. With the Piggy back rider, she got to see far in advance, often enjoying spotting things before we did. We did a run through at home and got all the straps adjusted the way my husband and daughter felt comfortable. There are three reasons I had to take a star off for the review: 1. Although we purchased the extra waist belt to help sturdy the foot bar and take some weight off my husbands shoulders, at times he did feel it a bit uncomfortable and cut into his shoulders. So even though it says its for up to 50-60lbs. Id say 45 definitely the limit for a normal adults comfort. 2. The footbar for my daughter to stand on was fairly narrow (fit the arch of her foot) and she at times mentioned it hurt her feet. Having it a bit wider wouldve made it more comfortable for her. 3. We purchased hiking back packs (ie. larger) to carry items needed daily at the Parks, and although it was a bit arduous taking the P.B. Rider in and out to get through security inspection, the bar was still too long to fit into the back pack and zip it shut. So whoever had the piggy back rider in the back pack (where we kept it until it was needed) had to have essentially an open bag the entire time. Could consider to add a hinge to the bar and make it foldable with some sort of locking mechanism, a protective sliding sleeve perhaps? It is an amazing product- and even though there were some minimal comfort issues it was so helpful is such a crowded place as Disney. Had many people stop and ask us what it was and how it worked!

Great product. We used it a few times and son likes it. Recommend the standing bar be a little wider for the kids to stand on.
