Horrible ergonomics & worthless adjustments!
Even though it cost less than a Baby Bjorn, this carrier was the biggest waste of money we encountered as new parents! Forget all of the features Kelty is touting. The people that designed this obviously never actually tried carrying a child in it...
Even though it cost less than a Baby Bjorn, this carrier was the biggest waste of money we encountered as new parents! Forget all of the features Kelty is touting. The people that designed this obviously never actually tried carrying a child in it...
Pros:
None! If it won't carry a baby, who cares if it has a rain hood?
Cons:
Pathetic design! Worthless back support, rough velcro rubs baby's legs, too many straps!
Bottom Line:
Save your money and buy a Baby Bjorn! This Kelty may look more robust, but it can't hold a candle to the Bjorn in terms of ergonomics.

COMFORTABLE Pack!
The Kelty K.I.D.S. Kangaroo pack is WONDERFUL! The pack is truly comfortable to wear for long periods of time and my son loves it. He is thrilled to be carried all over and does not fuss while in it. He is even comfortable enough to fall...

godsend!!
I am in love with this carrier! I'll start with a little backstory (pun fully intended): I feel very strongly that babies should be carried as much as possible. And I have a rather nasty hip injury from a car accident. Enter (finally!) the Base Camp!...

Pros:
Sturdy and Light--FIT FIT FIT!!!
Cons:
Can be complicated to adjust
Bottom Line:
If you're frustrated about poor fitting frame carriers, get this one! Short folks, rejoice!

Kelty Kangaroo - So liberating!

Good enough for a real hike
Our Kangaroo Pack made the difference between a good summer and frustration last year. When our first baby was born, we had a hand-me-down front pack (manufacturer's name mercifully lost in oblivion) which was absolute torture to wear for more than a few...

Good for larger babies
We purchased a second hand Kelty Kangaroo from eBay after our baby got too heavy for the Baby Bjorn. The trouble we were having was a lot of shoulder strain from his nearly 20 pounds basically hanging off our shoulders. The Kelty Kangaroo has a waist...

The best for my baby!
I bought this carrier after my baby started to get wiggly in the NoJo Sling.
I did try some cheaper carriers, and being a large person they all seemed to tight and they dug into my shoulders.

I bought this carrier after my baby started to get wiggly in the NoJo Sling.
I did try some cheaper carriers, and being a large person they all seemed to tight and they dug into my shoulders.
This carrier distributes the weight...
Pros:
Lightweight, keeps baby close to mommy, keeps mommy's hands free to deal with siblings.
Cons:
Bib is too small. Can be hard to put on alone. Instructions not detailed enough.
Bottom Line:
I would definitely buy this product again. It is comfortable for parent and baby and withstands a lot of use and abuse.
