Kelty K.I.D.S vs. Ergo carrier

[cancer_survivor_06]

I have pondered the idea of purchasing the ergo carrier for quite some time now but after a recent trip to TN my dh told me I should get one b/c a couple of the hikes he wanted to do we ended up not being able to b/c they were not stroller/wheelchair accessible. The ergo of course has the highest weight limit and is more casual for everyday type use where as the kelty is made for hiking two of them have the fifty pound weight limit which would work for now but i need some advice before I buy although I have considered buying both. Do you have one or do you know of another forum that I might find some info mainly about the kelty. Thanks

I had a Kelty and returned it. Not great for us short folks. But let me tell you about the ERGO........wonderful! I just sold mine on craigslist for almost as much as I bought it for! It was comfortable, packed easily and you can wear it in the front, side or back. One time we went hiking for about 5 hours and my Dh wore it for the entire time! She napped in it for about 3 hours- just used the little "napping hood" so that her head would not flop around. If you have any more questions just send me an email!

I dont have a Kelty, but I do have a framed backpack carrier and once I got my Ergo I havent touched it since. I love, love, love it.

I loved my Kelty kid. My DD HAD to be carried from age 2-4. I mean even in the grocery store. So I just put her in it and did my shopping. We also would do hikes and the zoo. Mine got a lot of use.
