Pros: inexpensive, convenient, baby loves it, storage pockets
Cons: boring color, large men may not fit
The Bottom Line: null
Review: We bought this because it was lightweight and fairly inexpensive. My 6'2 husband primarily wears it and it"just"fits him. I don't think it's really made for big men. The baby LOVES it. It soothes her stomach and gets us exercise at the same time... Read Full Review by gt7941a, Nov 1, 2007

Review: We took the Evenflo Snugli framed carrier with us on a 6-week, 6,000-mile trip on my maternity leave with Child #2. Child #1 was 20 months old by then, and we were concerned she would be too big for a backpack. Fortunately, we received this backpack... Read Full Review by ahohl1, Mar 24, 2007
An Easy Way to Keep the Kids On Your Back
Author's Rating:
Pros: Inexpensive, easy to use and adjust, safe

The perfect carrier for hikes less than 3 hours.
Author's Rating:
Pros: Safe, good looks, comfortable, good back support with good cushoning.
Cons: Not a lot of storage space, not ideal for long hikes.

Review: My daughter was about to turn five, and I loved going on walks in the mall and in the woods with her, but the problem was that when I went for a walk in the woods I would often go up and down inclines that made it difficult to carry her in the baby...

This carrier has good adjustment for both me (6-ft) and my spouse (5"9"), as well as my son... Read Full Review by larryboypickle, Oct 20, 2003
good baby carrier for short hikes
Author's Rating:
Pros: Kickstand that stays open, inexpensive (relatively),
Cons: Adjustability is limited, ventilation is not so good
The Bottom Line: The Cross Country is a good carrier for most uses. It's construction is sturdy but isn't like the ones designed for overnight backpacking trips.
Review: I bought the Cross Country baby carrier for my 17 month old daughter who likes the outdoors very much. When I was first deciding which model carrier to get, I considered the Kelty KIDS carriers, but I didn't like their kick stand designs which won't stay... Read Full Review by doning2, Oct 12, 2003
