SALEWA hiking baby carrier/framed child carrier backpack.

Salewa is a highly regarded Italian outdoor gear brand specializing in mountaineering and trekking, meaning this carrier is built with proper hiking ergonomics in mind.

- Maximum Weight Capacity: 22 kg (approx. 48.5 lbs). Crucial note: In trekking carriers, this weight limit almost always includes the total weight of the child AND any gear you pack into the storage compartments.

- Only for children who are able to sit up completely independently by themselves without assistance.

- The bright yellow hood provides shade from UV rays and light drizzle. It can typically be retracted or detached when not needed.

-"Multifit" Back Adjustment System: (Visible in the close-up image showing the ladder-lock system with blue arrows). This is a crucial feature that allows you to adjust the height of the shoulder straps up or down along the fabric ladder to match the exact torso length of the adult carrying it. This makes it easy for parents of different heights to share the load.

- Kickstand Frame: The aluminum frame extends out to create a stable tripod base so the carrier stays upright on the ground while you are loading or unloading your child. (Never leave a child unattended in the carrier on the ground, even with the kickstand out).

- It features a massive lower zippered compartment (perfect for diapers, wipes, and snacks) and a convenient smaller pocket on the hip belt for easy access to a phone or keys while walking.
