Kelty Pathfinder Kid Carrier



Good Frame Pack
This Kelty pack is good for the short hikes. The pack comes with plenty of areas to adjust for the perfect fit. That being said, I had a hard time getting that perfect fit. My son frequently hung to one side, and the pack didn't ride as well on my back as it seemed to on my husband's. A few adjustments made it better. I feel very comfortable - and my 27lb, 18-month-old son seems comfortable - when wearing it while climbing hills. A definite recommend. ps. I LOVE Kelty's Sun Shade for their packs. I borrowed a friends "other brand" backpack prior to this purchase and it was horribly designed. Kelty does it right.


Kids love it
Highly recommended, I carry my 1.5 year old all the time for weekend hikes, and if the hike goes on too long I can always throw the 3 year old in for a quick break. Comfortable on the shoulders and sturdy for those tough hikes. I do however highly recommend the sun shade and the rear view mirror accessory to protect the precious cargo onboard.


Not a great carrier if you are very short.
I purchased this carrier to take my daughter on walks with my dogs. I am very short ( 5' 0"). The pathfinder does have many adjustments and I successfully adjusted it for my height. The shoulder straps adjust down, so when adjusted for my height, the back board extended over my head - so I couldn't bend my neck back. It was extremely uncomfortable to have that restriction on my head and neck. I also felt a little off balance, since my daughters body was way over my head! I returned the pathfinder and purchased a Kelty TC 2.5. The TC 2.5 is so much more comfortable for my height! It has the same adjustments and support as the Pathfinder, but on a smaller scale, so it fits a short person better. I am extremely happy with the TC 2.5.
