Osprey Poco LT Unisex Child Carrier Blue Sky - O/S

Product Information

Minimum child age for use: 6 months (child must also weigh 16 lbs. and be able to sit up with head upright) The Poco Plus gets the adjustability nod as it has the “Fit-On-The-Fly” hipbelt. The “Fit-On-The-Fly” hipbelt on the Poco Plus includes extender fins that easily slide out to create a larger hipbelt. This really helps ensure the proper fit for bigger waistlines, about 36’’ or larger, and makes sure the weight is properly transferred to the hips and legs. Your life changes when you have a kid, but you don’t have to stop hiking. The Poco LT is built to carry kids for longer distances while keeping you comfortable. Both my wife and I are big fans of the Osprey Poco LT child carrier, and it’s the top carrier we recommend to our parent friends who are looking for a comfy and lightweight carrier. Both models feature a built in sunshade that provides full coverage for your child, easily stows when not in use, and is designed to help your child nap by providing them a spot to lean their head (on the side mesh panels).

Poco® LT - Osprey Packs

Delivered Monday to Saturday 8am-8pm, excluding bank holidays. Once despatched you will receive updates from the courier. Start small! Do some short, local hikes in good weather and work up to longer hikes as your kid gets accustomed to it. Be happy and enthusiastic. Kids can read off your energy, so try to stay chipper even when you’re tired. The main difference here is the sunshade. As mentioned above, the design of the Osprey Poco sunshade really gives it an edge during nap time.

Osprey utilizes a double halo harness with front facing arm loops as opposed to some harness systems that go over the child’s head to clip in. This harness design provides a snug and safe ride. An added benefit to the lightweight materials used on the Osprey Poco LT is your child should remain cool and well ventilated on a warm day. Let’s take an in depth look at the similarities and differences between the Osprey Poco and Osprey Poco LT. The Poco LT materials are TUV-certified and made sustainably with bluesign®-approved materials and PFC-free DWR. Now that you’ve tested it, what would you have wanted to know before buying the Osprey Poco LT child carrier? The padding on the waistband is somewhat thin compared to competitors but adjusting it is simple and easy to do while moving. The forward-pull waist adjustment tightens easily. The strap attaches to the center of the belt, so it doesn't distribute the pressure as widely as some of the competition, so it doesn't support the load as well as it could.

Osprey Poco Plus vs. Osprey Poco - The Kid Packer Osprey Poco Plus vs. Osprey Poco - The Kid Packer

The Osprey Poco LT child carrier includes an adjustable torso with 6 inches of torso adjustments available. This will fit torso measurements of 15-21 inches. The torso adjustment mechanism on the Poco LT differs completely from the ‘One-Size-Fits-All’ mechanism featured on the Poco and Poco Plus models. This difference does not appear to limit the torso length or functionality, it just doesn’t have the same sturdy feel. The Poco LT uses velcro to secure the adjustment. The ease of changing the torso length is a wonderful feature but, the velcro can be a bit difficult to undo to move it up or down.

Keep kids interested in the hike by pointing out things on the trail. I point out animals, bugs, puppies, water, or really anything. Foot stirrups are not included in this version of the Poco. Stirrups are not necessary while your child is small but, as they grow, it is helpful for circulation and comfort to have foot stirrups for support. I my experience it provides sufficient support. My daughter mostly sleeps with her head on the drool pad and she seems comfortable in that position. The drool pad is soft and made of comfortable material. Consider letting them walk at the beginning of the hike to get some wiggles out. Our child loves this, but I hate it since I want to “hit the trail.” However, she’s almost always happier on the hike if we let her roam for while before we start. part of this service, you will also be signed up to receive occasional special offers and third-party

Osprey Poco Child Carrier Review (New Model) | Nail the Trail Osprey Poco Child Carrier Review (New Model) | Nail the Trail

Both my wife and I have been hiking with our daughter Finola since birth. She’s 2 years old now and loves hiking with us. That said, if we’re 6 miles into a hike, she’s as tired as we are, so we’ve learned a few things to keep her happy on the trail. Since those initial tests, my daughter Finola has grown to love the carrier (and just grown in general). When she sees it, she knows we’re going on an adventure. She’s getting bigger and heavier (25 pounds). And our hikes are often farther, as she is used to it and has a longer attention span. The Poco LT is made of light weight material that is breathable which does provide a cooler experience. The moms said they’d exclusively carry the LT, as it was comfier, smaller, and easier to put on while the child is in it. Additionally, it’s lighter in weight at 5.1 pounds compared to 7.9 pounds.Both the Osprey Poco and Osprey Poco LT were built to Osprey’s high standards. The materials used are as follows:
