Best Kelty Child Carrier Reviews

A Kelty Child Carrier will keep your kid safe and protected. Learn more with Kelty baby backpack and child carrier reviews.

If you are a new parent and an avid outdoorsman or woman, a Child Carrier is the perfect way to combine your old love with your newest love.

Just because your child is too young to hike, does not mean you cannot enjoy the outdoors together.

In fact, living in Boulder, Colorado, a city full of backpackers and young parents, you see Kelty Child Carriers everywhere.

There is a plethora of child carriers and child camping gear on the market.

Baby Backpack Reviews

No piece of backpacking equipment is as essential for enjoying your Montana vacation (or any National Park vacation) as a Kelty Child Carrier.

The reason I recommend Kelty over other brands is because:

My friends Tony and Elise's son, Aiden, enjoying the ride in a Kelty Child Carrier

Holds more weight than other brands (50 lbs)
Lightweight, aluminum frame
Easily adjustable hip belt and shoulder straps
Adjustable child harness for your growing boy or girl
Rear view mirror
Sun, mosquito & rain protection for your child

If you are looking to continue enjoying the great outdoors with your young child, a Kelty Child Carrier is for you.

For discount child camping equipment, try last year's baby backpack model and save that extra cash for other necessities.

Advantages of Child Carriers

There is no reason to forsake your love of nature because of a newborn. Parents across America are purchasing child carriers and exploring wilderness and National Parks with their child. Even though a child carrier may be expensive, consider this: how much would other entertainment, or a babysitter, cost?

In addition to saving money in the long run, a child carrier allows you to:

Instill a love of nature in your child at a young age
Make memories and take photographs that will last a lifetime
Keep your child safe and secure in the wilderness

Other Child Carrier Options

While I believe Kelty makes the best in child camping equipment, another item on the market has been receiving rave reviews and is worthy of consideration.

The Deuter Kid Comfort III can hold almost as much weight as the Kelty Baby Backpack but has additional advantages:

Aiden's all smiles in the Kelty Baby Backpack

Large storage pockets for additional backpacking equipment
Integrated sun roof
Hydration bladder compatible

The additional features come with a price though, the Deuter Kid Comfort III is nearly 100 dollars more expensive than other brands.

To save money, consider last year's model, the Deuter Kid Comfort II, which is priced comparably with Kelty brand.
