Kelty: TC 3.0 Child Carrier - 1 Reviews

2008-06-19
Light weight, convenient, hot. It took approximately 20 minutes of adjusting straps and height adjustment to get a great fit, once complete it is very comfortable. The instructions clearly state not to use the pack with an infant under 16lb, I wonder if Kelty is using a standard assumption that infants under 16lb wouldnt be able to sit unassisted/fit the pack? This is not true in my case; my daughter is 6 mo 2wk, 15lb and 26.5, the shoulder adjustment is on the 2nd lowest setting because of her height and she rides fine. I have not been able to use the assist loops created for the pack, at 53 my arms are not long enough to continuously hold the handle behind my kids head while putting the pack on and the one up front is obstructed by the sun hood no matter how it is placed when installing the hood. I just have to put the pack on by lifting by the straps and swinging the pack, slowly. It would be better if the shoulder adjustments had adjustable clips/clasps rather than having to adjust them each time with an eager wiggling child. We live in central TX where our spring/summer night low temps havent been below 75F in a long while with the days being 95-100+F; this pack is hot for both my daughter and me. The convenience of being able to clean house, garden, and do light chores around our property makes the heat of the pack a trade off. Perhaps cooler, strong materials could be used similar to the true hiking packs? I would have paid more for a cooler, small pack. The hood attaches easily; however, is not adjustable its either on or its off. There is adequate storage for me to use this as my FT diaper bag. This pack really helps keep my little one involved, but out of the reach of plants/animals/grocery shelves/etc. that my front carriers allowed her full access.
