Tough Traveler Kid Carrier: He Ain't Heavy...He's My Son

Date of Review:  Mar 14, 2000
The Bottom Line: This is a sturdy and comfortable child backpack, as long as adult carrying it isn't over 6 feet tall.
Review: Well, actually he IS heavy. That's why we stopped using our cherished front carrier and purchased the Tough Traveler Kid Carrier about four years ago our son was 4 months old. We selected Tough Traveler because we like to hike and we wanted...

Great Alternative to the Stroller!

Date of Review:  Apr 19, 2002
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this carrier as another option for active parents.
Review: As parents we spend a great deal of time transporting our little ones. Our son is the type of child who absolutely refused to stay in a stroller for more than a short time. So, last year when we were planning a trip to Washington D.C., we decided to...

Finally... COMFORT!!

Date of Review:  Apr 3, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for comfort and usability over style, this is the pack to buy!
Review: I tried many of my friends' backpack carriers before finding the Tough Traveler. They were all cute but not comfortable. So I got online and started searching backpacking, hiking, and outdoor sport newsgroups. Everybody was raving about the Tough...

Utilitarian, Strong, No frills...the best.

Date of Review:  Sep 18, 2003
The Bottom Line: I would reccomend this carrier to anyone who is looking for the best that they can buy at a reasonable price, that has the nicest safety features.
Review: I recently decided to add an addition to our ever expanding collection of babywearing parphanalia, In my searches for a framed back pack style carrier I came across many brands.

I quickly nixed the evenflo's and the gerry's and really felt...

This is the "cult" kid pack

Date of Review:  Sep 11, 2000
Review: Tough Traveler is the underground hit for kid carriers. Made by a small company in upstate NY, these are MADE IN THE USA and are quality. They are more expensive than their counterparts (Kelty, Evenflo, etc) but they are much more durable and are...

A great way to get work done when you have a baby

Date of Review:  Dec 22, 1999
Review: I bought this pack in 1990. It turned out to be one of the best investments in baby items that I have made! I had tried to use a Snuglie soft front baby carrier and couldn't even get my son into it by myself. The Tough Traveler was easy and safe to...

I love this backpack!

Date of Review:  Jul 5, 2000
Review: I'm not a backpacker or a heavy-duty hiker, so I was a little hesitant to buy such an expensive backpack. After wearing my 10 month old daughter in the backpack at our local Farmer's Market I knew I made the correct decision. It's so easy to zoom in...

Date of Review:  Apr 1, 2004
