Kelty Pathfinder Framed Baby Carrier

Price Range: $154.00 - $159.00 from 2 stores

The Pathfinder is Kelty's best-selling model - not quite as feature-rich as the Adventure, but still a fully-featured, well-engineered, and comfortable pack that is as at home on the trails as it is in the aisles. The top-notch harness system includes an adjustable sternum strap, curved and molded shoulder straps, and a triple-padded waistbelt. The Pathfinder employs Kelty's handy auto-deploying kickstand, which allows you to simply set the pack down with your child in it - great for when you need to get in and out of the pack by yourself. The Pathfinder comes with a removable sun and rain hood and a removable day pack - and while we're talking about removability, I should mention that the child cockpit includes a "burp cloth" that can be taken out for washing. The cockpit itself features a 5-point harness, plenty of padding, and fleece-lined leg holes to prevent chafing. The seat height can be adjusted to suit your child's height, and even reclines slightly.
