Osprey Poco SLT Child Carrier Backpack

A couples months of use so far and it has been great!I’m 6ft tall and my wife is 5’5” and we can adjust it to fit for both of us. Our 8 month old son loves walks/hikes in the backpack. He has even been comfortable enough to fall asleep in it. He gets pretty excited whenever we take the hiking bag out!We additionally got the sunshade and rain cover for it - well worth it and has been used a lot this summer already. I’d at the sun shade is a must for the baby. Overall very good quality and has valuable storage areas for day hikes.

We used this for the first time on a local two mile hike. It was so comfortable for the baby that she fell asleep halfway through! The design is functional and easy to use. The storage capacity holds a lot more than it looks like. We were able to hold all of the baby essentials plus a very large first aid kit. It was light and fit comfortably. It seems to be of very good quality.

We didn’t keep this one as we preferred the LT. No sun shield on this one and no front cover to keep straps contained. Seems like good quality just wasn’t what we were looking for. Probably good for shorter walks.

Very easy to use, comfortable, practical and good quality. Worth getting the sunshade and travel bag as well

Love taking my daughter for hikes with this bad boy. I have more mobility and control vs the front carrier I took her in when she was little. I’ve started using it even when I’m just walking a short distance to take the dogs out in the evening. The storage is also super handy. I’ll be sad when she out grows it.

My son and daughter-in-law enjoy hiking. They needed a light-weight carrier backpack to bring their 12 month old daughter along for the fun. My son says it's really easy to use. The carrier stays solid on the floor/ground in the upright position for getting their daughter in and out of it. You do have to order the sun shade separately, and it's a good idea to order the rain cover as well if you hike when there's a chance of rain. Everything works great, but more importantly... my granddaughter loves it!!

The media could not be loaded. Fantastic Item. Did a 4 hour hike in this with no issues. Love how there is plenty of space in the bottom compartment.

Unlike on the Poco LT, the sunshade is not included on the SLT. (This is on the fine print when purchasing) After spending $30 on the sunshade we found out that it DOES NOT STORE, in the SLT.This means that you have to install the sunshade at the car and leave it on until you return. On all the other Pocos you can slide the sunshade easily into a zippered pocket. It also means that you will have to keep track of an unattached sunshade when it is not in use. Its just a wildly impractical design choice that is a significant deviation from all the other Poco designs.That the sunshade cannot be stowed was not apparent when purchasing and is not shown in any of the demo versions, but we would have never purchased it knowing this was the case.
