10/10 worth the money
So, I splurged on this and it is 100% worth spending the extra money. I have another cheap one that was handed down and it felt like my baby was always about to fall out! The quality of this is unreal, so good! Comfortable to wear for both me and my husband. Your baby is strapped in and so safe, I don’t worry about him falling out now when we are out hiking/hunting. Has so much extra storage for diapers and snacks saving you from carrying another bag. And it collapses down flat. Can’t say enough good things about this child backpack carrier! Spend the extra money! It’s worth it!

Solid carrier with good storage
Used twice for light hiking, works well and the lower storage bag is actually pretty handy, more space than I expected

No sun shade included
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.

Quality materials and build
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.

Great day hiker with 8 month old!
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.

Great Carrier
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.

It worked but it was a little too small for my 1 year old.
I really wanted to like this baby carrier, but it had a few issues that made it a miss for me. The metal flex compartment for seating my child was confusing to open at first I thought I was going to break it until I realized the rear seat clip needed to be unclipped, which wasn’t clear in the instructions at all. Once I figured it out, I noticed that while the design seemed sturdy, the leg space for my son felt too restricted. Comfort in the crotch area and enough legroom are really important to me, especially since kids can be in carriers for extended periods, and this one just didn’t meet those needs. I’ve tried several carriers, and unfortunately, this one wasn’t the best fit for us.

It’s weird that the additional sun shade cannot fit in the bag when not in use. It’s such a design flaw I have to give it one star review.

Non conforme à la description. Il s’agit du Osprey Poco SLT et non pas du Poco LT – comme indiqué dans l’intitulé du produit. En revanche, le sac était en parfait état et bien emballé- rien à dire de ce côté-là. Il faudrait simplement ajuster la description et l’intitulé du produit.

It is very comfortable to use and the kid likes it. It is also pretty lightweight. Good quality for a low price. I would just like it to have where to place the feet for the kid and some side cushions for the head not to fall to the sides while sleeping.

The carrier did not come with the rain hood and sun canopy as advertised ,pictures show the sun canopy and rain hood and it states sun canopy compatible so you assume that the carrier comes with both the sun canopy and rain cover.No where did it say these extra items were sold separately. It’s an extre £57 for the sun canopy and there is no where to store it on the Carrier when not in use so very poor design .
