Despite the feather-light design, it's surprisingly sturdy, with chest and waist straps that ensure it feels perfectly secure for both parent and child. The ideal progression from a front carrier, the Ranger is a great alternative for short to mid-length journeys if you want to leave your pushchair at home. Key specs – Weight: 3.13kg; Maximum load: 22kg; Dimensions 73 x 38 x 43 cm; Colour options: 3; Weather protection: Built-in sunshade and detachable rain cover included The one thing I would change about this product is the diversity, for instance the depth of the seat. Also, the availability of a footrest and the ability to change the length of the footrest – this would add some extra comfort to the carrier as we tend to go on long walks. Other than this the carrier was very comfy and useful. Tested by mum Kathryn Velasco for the Mother & Baby awards 2018: The new-and-improved head support was a hit with our tester’s son who had no problem falling to sleep while in the seat. Are there any extra features?
Key specs – Weight: 3.4kg; Maximum load: 17kg; Dimensions 76 x 28 x 33 cm; Colour options: 1; Weather protection: Sun shade and rain hood includedYes, this product should be a front runner as it looks good, feels great quality, is lightweight and very easy to use and store. Above all, my little ones are happy and obviously feel very safe and secure in it. Love it! Unlike many child carriers on the market, our child carriers are British Standard Approved. This means they’ve been rigorously tested to the highest standards required in Britain (equivalent to European TUV standards) to keep your child safe.
The adjustable torso length is handy if this carrier is going to be used by a range of people and we love the detachable bag underneath the seat and the little loops by the baby headrest – perfect for attaching your little one’s favourite toy or comfort blanket.Key specs – Weight: 3.1kg; Maximum load: 22kg; Dimensions 72 x 41 x 35 cm; Colour options: 3; Weather protection: Sold separately It’s also worth mentioning the super-soft child face pad that our little one loved resting his head against, and once again, it’s fully detachable and washable. Key specs – Weight: 3kg; Maximum load: 18kg; Dimensions: 76 x 32 x 15 cm (folded); Colour options: 2; Weather protection: Hood and rain shield included Weight of the carrier: How much does the carrier weigh when empty? Considering the weight of the carrier itself, along with the weight of your child, is important, particularly if you are petite or small-framed. Lightweight designs are often more comfortable to carry, however they don’t tend to be as feature-rich as the heavier, more robust designs. Key specs – Weight: 3.6kg; Maximum load: 22kg; Dimensions: 73 x 35 x 31 cm; Colour options: 2; Weather protection: Sunshade included, rain cover sold separately
With many of the quality and comfort benefits you’d expect from the Osprey brand but in a more compact design, the Osprey Poco LT measures significantly smaller than the original Poco at 37 x 34 x 61cm and is over a kilogram lighter too, making it a lightweight option for everyday urban environments as well as rural walks and treks in the countryside. Whilst the rain cover is sold separately, it comes with a generously sized sunshade, ensuring your child has a high level of sun protection without reducing their visibility, although you’ll find a larger sunshade on the Osprey Poco Plus. A new and improved version of the ever-popular Littlelife Adventurer, this lightweight and super sturdy child carrier features upgraded fabrics and features to make family adventures more fun. Key specs – Weight: 3.1kg; Maximum load: 20kg; Dimensions: Various; Colour options: 1; Weather protection: Sunshade and rain cover sold separately
Extras
The Littlelife Adventurer S2 is easy to adjust for both parent and baby. It’s more than comfortable for shorter walks of around 20-30 minutes. We love the mirror for peeking at your little passenger as well as the soft head cushion that supports your child if they fall asleep. The height-adjustable foot loops also ensure maximum comfort for your toddler as they grow. Thankfully, adjusting the seat isn’t fiddly in the slightest, meaning there is little risk of you trapping your finger in a fluster. For parents with more than one child, this feature also means you can adjust the seat to fit a slightly older child as well as your younger child (though not at the same time, obviously). Let the fighting commence. Key specs – Weight: 2.65kg; Maximum load: 18kg; Dimensions 70 x 43 x 34 cm; Colour options: 1; Weather protection: Sold separately As you and your child will be exposed to the elements, it’s essential to consider weatherproofing. Some of the carriers we tested came with rain covers and sun shades and some are sold separately, but it’s worth factoring this in to the overall price as you’ll almost certainly need some sort of weather protection.
Unlike the rest of the carriers we tested, this Norwegian-designed product doesn’t have a pull-out bar base, but instead has a base anchor where you rest a foot and then load in your baby. Because of this, it’s not possible to use as a seat for your child, as it will easily topple over without support. However, it does have the benefit of making this carrier compact yet still sturdy. Key specs – Weight: 1.9kg; Maximum load: 20kg; Dimensions: 73 x 32 x 41 cm; Colour options: 2; Weather protection: Sold separately What I would say is that it needs to come with some sort of sun shade. I believe that you can buy them separately but think a sun shade is vital for this carrier. When out walking in the sun, the child is very exposed so needs some sort of shade, otherwise you can't go out in hot weather. The only way I would improve this would be to have a shade as part of the carrier, or for it to be included in the price. Tested by mum Ainsley Smith for the Mother & Baby awards 2018: It’s clear that everyone is different. Some of us live for adventurous hikes in the mountains, others prefer a pootle around the shops. Some in the team tower over us at a whopping 6’4”, others proudly topping out at the 5’2” mark. But we’re all in agreement that being able to explore anywhere with our children, hands-free, and to share these experiences with our most precious cargo is a joy like no other. The included hood and rain shield mean you’re covered for all weather eventualities and there are storage compartments absolutely everywhere, so you can easily access all those hiking extras. The main storage compartment zips off too, so if you want to share the load with your walking buddy, it’s easy to shed some weight mid-trek.
Our Policies
Yes, the carrier is lightweight, but you know instantly it is great quality. Numerous straps give you peace of mind that your child is secure, and the padded pillows aid positioning. The carrier folds well and the design is great, I love the colour too! To be completely honest, there is nothing I would change about this carrier. With other carriers the list was endless, but not with the Adventurer S2. I feel it has been designed and built by someone who knows exactly what parents require. We will continue to use our carrier until our little ones are no longer able to fit in it. Tested by mum Annamarie Smith for the Mother & Baby awards 2018:
