Evenflo Snugli® Cross Country Carrier Light Brown Nightspots

We love this carrier! We have taken it to two national parks and its been wonderful on hikes. Our two year old is comfortable and shaded. He even fell asleep on our last hike. There is plenty of space for storage. It just comes down to the weight issue. So far just my husband has worn it, he is 6 feet tall and says its comfortable for him to wear and easy to put on.

The carrier is great. No complaints about it. Evenflo, however, leaves something to be desired: we broke the front side-release buckle on the carrier by closing a car door on it. Completely our fault. I contacted Evenflo about a replacement buckle, saying that it was my fault and that I would pay for the replacement and shipping for the buckle. They told me that they do not offer replacement buckles and suggested that I stop using the carrier. Looking around online, I found a replacement buckle for $1.00 CAD. I'm not sure what kind of company recommends throwing away a $120 CAD product because a $1.00 CAD part is broken, but such a suggestion is in my opinion inexcusable. Although they make great products, in the future I won't be using products that are apparently disposable if the tiniest part breaks.

I absolutely LOVE this carrier! For the price, it is very comfortable, and my 7 month old son seems to really like it. I walked 3 miles in it today, and he slept most of the way. Lots of room for adjustment as he grows, and the kickstand makes it very easy to get in & out of by myself. Fantastic product!

My husband who is 6' has no problems carrying our 1 yr old around in it, but I am 5'2" and it hurts my shoulders to carry around a 20lb kid for too long. The storage on the carrier is great however and holds everything we might need for a hike. Material seems sturdy. Great color. Son likes to ride in it and actually falls asleep in it sometimes.

The snugli pack is "middle of the road" - we didn't want to spend a couple hundred dollars on a nicer pack - however, you get what you pay for. we've borrowed a kelty pack before and it was great! adjustments were easy and could get the pack comfortable. On the Snugli, the baby seems a little too close to the back of your head. This pack is rated for up to 40 lbs, but after a month and a half of use with our 22 lb, 9 month old son, one of the shoulder straps tore and was litterally hanging by a thread. The company offered to reimburse the money, however they couldn't replace the pack directly as they no longer make it. We'd have to send back the first pack before getting reimbursed. Overall, we aren't thrilled with this pack, but it's handy for short hikes.
