Make sure you measure your torso BEFORE you buy!

This carrier is my dream carrier! I just wish I would have measured my torso before I bought it (online). I am 5'4 & have a 15&1/2" torso. This carrier fits a person 17" - 21" torso lengths. Your torso is from the top of your shoulders to your waist line. The pack sits wrong on me, below my waist so the weight of my 22lb 7 month old isn't distributed properly. I can feel it pull on my neck, shoulders & lower back & get sore after only 15 min. of wear. I wish so much that Deuter made this pack so shorter people on a budget could enjoy this pack too. The price is right & the Aircomfort system is truely amazing! The reviews are great for this carrier & I can see why. My son LOVES it! The first time I put him in it he was tired & cranky but He fell asleep within 10 minutes of being in it. I have still used it even though it hurts because my son loves it sooo much. He even gets excited when I bring it out. He sits high enough that he can see out around me, watch me cook & clean & surprisingly has not pulled my hair & he lives to do just that! There are two loops on each side to attach toys, a pacifier etc. The seat he sits in seems pretty comfortable. Even though I have not taken this carrier away from home I know it would have been perfect for shopping trips, vacations, hiking you name it! I highly recommend this carrier to everyone, at least those with at least a 17" torso or bigger.
