The kelty FC 3.0 is everything we wanted and needed in a carrier. Our 9mos old is 23lbs and you'd never know it with this pack. I'm able to hit the trails or my back yard for yard work and not even walk away with a sore back, which i have with some other carriers. It's a big pack with plenty of storage and padding with easy to use adjustments. My husband is 6'2" and with a few quick adjustments the pack fits him perfectly. Our son absolutely loves using this carrier. Not only is he comfortable and secure with the 5 point harness but he is up high and can see everything I do. He's even fallen asleep in it a few times. Although somewhat pricey we found the lowest sale price on this website and would definitely recommend this purchase.
