Kangakid Carrier by Deuter at Magic Beans

When you were in college, it was all about finding the best boots and back pack for your hiking trips. Once you had those (and a handful of iodine tablets) you had everything you needed to hit the open trail. Well, a few things have changed since then. Now, you have a little companion to bring along on those nature jaunts and need a carrier that will make the trip comfy and safe for the both of you.

Deuter (pronounced doy-ter) is a well-established German company that has been making excellent backpacks since 1898. Since they opened another subsidiary in Colorado, Americans have also come to love the quality and great design of these top of the line products. With an obsessive eye for comfort, ventilation, proper fit, and innovation, Deuter has established itself worldwide as a leader in backpack design and other products for outdoor adventuring.

With the KangaKid carrier, Deuter has redesigned the backpack to be lighter and feature a handy pocket for all those small essentials. You can wear the Kangakid as your hiking backpack and, once your little one tuckers out, give him a piggy back ride using the carrier. The seat that holds the child can be hidden when not in use by zipping the compartment closed. The compact design is great for when you are traveling and can hold up to 33 pounds.
