Osprey Poco LT Lightweight Child Carrier Backpack

This child carrier backpack has been amazing! We take it with us on hikes, walks, and bike rides, and it has made outdoor adventures with our little one so much easier. One of my favorite features is the built-in storage space, which is perfect for carrying diapers, wipes, snacks, and other essentials. I also love the canopy that provides excellent sun protection for my child while we're out and about. This carrier has definitely been worth the price. We've had it for two years, and it's still in great condition. Our daughter sits comfortably in it and often ends up falling asleep during our outings. It's durable, practical, and well-designed—I highly recommend it!

This child carrier backpack was an absolute GAME CHANGER for our trip. It’s insanely lightweight (like shockingly light), folds up really well for packing, and has SO much storage space. I was honestly impressed with how much we could fit in it. The built-in sun shade was a huge win! My daughter loved it, and she was super comfy the entire time. She loved it so much that she would literally ask to “sit on the backpack” all the time 🥹 We took this on a 2-week cruise through Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Singapore, and it allowed us to do things we absolutely would not have been able to do with a stroller and a 1.5-year-old. We climbed temples, went on hikes (with monkeys), explored uneven terrain, and even rode an ATV…and she loved all of it. Bonus: everywhere we went, people stopped, stared, and smiled at the baby in the backpack, which made the experience even sweeter. She was happy, comfortable, and secure the whole time. If you’re traveling with a toddler and don’t want to feel limited, this is 100% worth it. Comfortable, practical, and honestly made our trip possible. Would buy again in a heartbeat.

Tested out a few different carriers. This one was our favorite. Small enough for petite women, but still comfy for my husband. The configuration is so nice for the kids. Just a well thought out carrier AND light.

I love this hiking backpack for me and my son! He knows exactly where and what we are going to be doing when he goes in 😆

I feel overall a good carrier. I am no expert in hiking backpacks, and haven’t taken it to trek in the wilderness, but have been trekking in the urban jungles. Without a doubt the pack is large, and if you do decide to carry it on your sprawls through the streets, you gotta be mindful of people and things around you. Definitely almost knocked into people and things over. For flights, it can certainly fit in most standard overhead bins, but mostly horizontal or diagonally folded down. I was allowed to take it on flights, but then again, it definitely doesn’t fit in the sizer for domestic flights. I’d be for stricter airlines, they’d probably make you check it. It can fit one stuff folded down, but not a whole lot. It’s comfortable, but carrying a 20-ish pound baby with all the accoutrements will wear on you shoulders, back, and legs. Again, I’m not experienced backpacker/hiker. If you’re used to wearing a 30 lbs rucksack and marching for hours, I’m sure this will be a breeze. The sun canopy is toggles and gets velcroed into the back, wish they were snaps. The rest, quality osprey bag stuff that they are known for.

For the outdoorsy parents.... they love this for the baby/child... this pack is easy to use and has loads of convenient bells and whistles ! Used all the time. Shade umbrella is wonderful but doesn't block any view!

The product itself is good, but it looks like Amazon sent me an old or previously used package. The packaging was torn, the sunshade was missing, and there were signs that the product had been used. Unfortunately, I had to return it.

I love this carrier. I originally ordered a lower priced carrier from Amazon and was not pleased with quality. The cockpit and buckling mechanism on the Osprey Poco LT is much better. Storage is amazing. The straps that go on the adult are very easy to adjust. The storage space for the sunshade is also a huge plus so you can always have it with you. Overall, I think this product is very well designed (but let's be real, for the price point it should be!). I wished I ordered it sooner. I live in a very snowy climate so taking a stroller for walks in the winter is very rare. I am able to bundle up my 16 month old and get out of the house. Looking forward to using it in warmer weather. When the product arrived it did have some black markups on the flap that zips over the adult carrier straps. There was also some dirt residue on the child seat in the cockpit. The product did come double boxed and wrapped in a plastic product bag. It's hard to tell if it was just marks from being shipped or if someone lightly used it and then returned it. Wasn't enough for me to want to return it. Since I'll be using it outside, I figured it will get some marks on it anyway. I was just anticipating a pristine product when it arrived. *update on 4.22.2026* Going over my Amazon bill I noticed that I got charged for a currency fee on this product. No where in the purchase does it state there needs to be a currency conversion.

On a hésité avec le modèle plus gros, mais ce Poco LT est parfait pour notre usage. Il est impressionnant de légèreté tout en restant super confortable pour le porteur et pour le petit à condition de bien le régler. Le vrai plus, c’est qu'il se replie presque à plat, ce qui est génial pour le ranger dans le coffre déjà plein. Le pare-soleil intégré est super pratique et se déploie en deux secondes. Seul petit bémol : l'espace de rangement est un peu limité si on veut emporter tout le matériel de puériculture, mais pour des randos à la journée, c'est le top. Bref, la qualité Osprey est au rendez-vous. Je recommande sans hésiter !

This is an incredible piece of gear if you love hiking, and so does your baby. Our toddler is a 15kg heavyweight champion and they were a happy hiker for good long 45-60min walks throughout the trails. We took short snackie breaks, obviously. The backpack has enough pockets for you to be handsfree, and a super nice sunshade tucked in if its a harsh sunny day. We traveled through the Canadian Rockies with it and absolutely loved it! BY THE WAY the color name (Deep Peyto) of this backpack is actually from Peyto Lake (in Banff) and I can 100% confirm it is exactly the same color as the lake. I went there to make sure Osprey wasn't fooling us so that you don't have to :D Quality is unmatched. It is as good as, or better than, Deuter. Happy Hiking!

Dopo aver letto miliardi di recensioni, articoli e blog sull’argomento, abbiamo scelto di acquistare questo zaino per portare in montagna la nostra bimba di 9 mesi (e di 9 kg) e non ci siamo pentiti. ⭐️ Pro: - Peso ridotto dello zaino (2,5kg) che è di circa un chilo più leggero della media degli zaini “leggeri” in commercio (Chi è avvezzo alla montagna e ai dislivelli sa perfettamente quanto può fare la differenza). - Regolazione facile e immediata grazie a cinghie e velcri robusti (Credo che lo zaino sia adatto a molte corporature in quanto sono alto 1,80 m e s ho impostato a metà corsa lo schienale.) - Comodità per il portatore e per il bimbo. Lo zaino è confortevole e ben bilanciato su spalle e fianchi e mia figlia si è trovata benissimo in quanto si è fatta delle gran dormite (L’unica accortezza è che su percorsi impervi/dissestati la testa addormentata tende a ciondolare ma noi abbiamo risolto inserendo una mussola grande arrotolata o il cuscinetto del fasciatoio come appoggio) - Tasche capienti e ben posizionate. Noi abbiamo fatto escursioni di una giornata inserendo solo il necessario per la bimba (che ha occupato neanche tutta una tasca) per tenere lo zaino leggero e poiché viaggiando in coppia è mia moglie a portare borracce e necessario per noi adulti. Comunque un biberon o borraccia piccoletta per la bimba entra perfettamente nella tasca a rete sul retro dello zaino. Personalmente la mancanza di una tasca laterale da borraccia, come altri utenti segnalano, non ci ha infastidito minimamente: È comunque presente un vano per sacca acqua dietro lo schienale in caso di escursioni in solitaria per non dover togliere ogni volta lo zaino. - Compattezza: lo zaino si piega completamente diventando abbastanza sottile e si può chiudere una tasca sullo schienale per racchiudere all’interno tutte le cinghie e gli spallacci. Per chi come noi ha una macchina non troppo grande è l’ideale nel baule. - Impermeabilità: grazie al copri-zaino (da acquistare separatamente) lo zaino è rimasto perfettamente asciutto insieme alla bimba. Molto pratico e veloce da apporre è una soluzione efficace ed indispensabile per i cambi meteo repentini della montagna. - Estetica: certo non è una cosa importante ma lo zaino è anche molto bello e sembra robusto nelle cuciture e materiali (non l’ho ancora usurato quindi mi riservo di cambiare successivamente recensione in merito) 🔴 Contro: - Il copri zaino per la pioggia non è incluso ed è da acquistare separatamente quindi si devono mettere in conto altri 34€ circa, diventando abbastanza oneroso come zaino. In definitiva consiglio di fare questo investimento a chi piace molto andare in montagna ed ha in programma varie uscite col pargolo in modo da ammortizzare il costo. Non ve ne pentirete!

Perfect and small

Perfect carrier for young children. Comfortable for the parent and for the child. I would highly recommend this baby carrier.
