We used the Piggyback Rider + the waist belt on our roundtrip in Newfoundland and Tatra mountains in the Slovakia and it worked very nice. Note that you really have to take the time to adjust everythi... See more

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... See more

First use

Used the Piggyback Rider for the first time with my 3 year old at the Dallas Arboretum. First reaction was not bad, he’s afraid to get on my shoulders, he says to high so this was better for him. He was a little scared at first but once he saw that he was strapped in and could hold on he loved it. As for the performance of the Rider, it felt like he would put his weight on the left foot causing the bar to dip and raise the right side, it would throw my balance off for a second. Not sure if there is a way to lock it in place so that won’t happen, like i said it was our trial run. I would just adjust his feet and tell him to look over my right shoulder every once in awhile. We both enjoyed it and got a lot of looks.

Awesome Product

Awesome Product. Allows you to get out on the trickier & longer hikes where the little legs tire too quickly. Be prepared for all the wow what is that's and can i have a lift comments you get from fellow hikers.

This is the third piggy back rider I have purchased. One has lasted me beyond my children’s ability to want to be on it. I had years of enjoyment as did our entire family. So much so I purchased two for friends for Father’s Day this year. Awesome product and innovation.

I got the item fast

I got the item fast and the description was accurate. I just wished that the hydration pack would come with the bladder. Shop all in one shot.

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 product

The Piggyback Rider is a great option for hiking with kids who are too old for the backpack but not old enough to go the distance. This is comfortable and cool to wear with the kids are not on it and is a great alternative to putting them on your shoulders, hip or the traditional piggyback ride.

Product shipped fast as I had in my hands faster then I expected. I’m a large guy and had to extend the harness to the max and is still little snug. I wish it had a storage bag that was canvas and snug for vehicle storage but plastic bag it came in is nice and thick. Waiting to make a trip so we can use it now

I love it, but......

I love it but the younger generation think there's too many straps, so they don't look cool.
It worked perfectly for myself and grandson. I bought the hip brace also and we both felt secure and had a great adventure. Unfortunately I didn't buy it for myself, so I don't think I will see it used much. Thank you and I hopes this helps.

So far we love it

I haven't had the opportunity to take the piggyback Rider on any trails yet however when I was trying it out around the house the only thing I noticed that I didn't care for was that the child harness doesn't snap closed in the front. Overall it's going to make carrying the little ones much much easier when we're out and about

Thank You Tamara.
We get a lot of people asking about the Child Safety Harness and why it doesn't have the chest strap. There is a simple reason, if the kids slipped off the bar, the harness is there to catch them and with a chest strap, it would choke the child. We are not ok with that. If you feel your child is wiggling or needs a break, we recommend letting them down before they tire from standing.

Very convenient carrier for kids

Very convenient carrier for kids. It stores small which is great. I wish it had an improved load distribution like some heavy duty backpacks to help take or distribute the load to the hips rather than just the shoulders.
