Early Impression My daughter is at the upper end of the weight capacity, she is 4 but not ready to tackle full hikes yet. The pack part is comfortable even with 38lbs riding. I really like that she is right in my ear telling me about everything she sees, it’s a pretty cool experience to be at eye level and just talking. 2 negatives I see: I wish there was a Velcro piece or something to stow the bar when she’s off so it’s not just bouncing off my rear, and a wider bar so her feet could go outside my hips/ obliques would make a comfortable wear as well. Overall great product.

I have enjoyed every minute with my… I have enjoyed every minute with my sons on the Piggyback Rider. They don't always want to ride, and it's small enough to be a convenience even when unused. Strollers are so demoralizing when the kids are out of it. My boys love the engagement and personal time with me while seeing the world from a different perspective

It’s a nice concept but needs refining It’s a nice concept but needs refining. My daughter is under the weight limit but when I took her out with it, it couldn’t support her weight and she ended up with the platform giving way. Considering the price, this was really disappointing. I ended up ditching it and carrying her on my shoulders.

Long hikes with a 4 year old The Piggyback Rider has made a world of difference when hiking with my 4 year old. It allows us to go on longer hikes where she can get off and on easily when she gets tired. I highly recommend getting the hip belt attachment. It really helped to distribute my child’s weight evenly across my shoulders and hips. The customer service is also spot on. They respond quickly and will help you get what you need. The entire company deserves a 10/10 rating. Keep up the amazing work.

Great way to hike or walk around longer… Great way to hike or walk around longer distances with a little one. Our 3 year old was eager to ride and get a better view as we hiked trails in Oregon and it gave us a lot of security that she was safe and not complaining about all the walking.
