Product Information

Ultimately, it’s useful for little kids, but we never use it for over 2 years when kids can hold on. This trimmed-down model also has less overall storage, although its 20-liter volume stacks up well with most packs on the market.

As a manufacturer of children’s products, MiniMeis works hard to maintain the highest and most rigorous standards for safety, non-toxic materials, quality and workmanship. Perhaps the target market is slightly older children who don’t nap and can reliably walk some distance, and that my daughter, who tires after waddling about 100m is just too young for it to really benefit either of us. year old daughter sit in the carrier and when we’re back in a safe section of the trail I let her start walking again. For hiking and travel purposes—and when the baby is old enough to hold up their own head—the rear backpack-style position is what we’ve found to be most comfortable on the move.

No matter what color you chose, the new MiniMeis offers revolutionary comfort for carrier and child. I got his usual size and they're a tight squeeze to get on, although they do fit once we've wiggled his feet in. Parents only concern is to be aware of obstacles above their head, which would also be the case when carrying your child on the shoulders without MiniMeis. We’re also happy to see that Osprey didn’t trim away key features like generous storage (21 liters total), hydration reservoir compatibility, and a deployable sunshade.

Holden enjoys it a lot, especially when we’re walking through busy areas and he can wave to people Is MiniMeis Worth It? Further, you need to leave the kickstand extended to utilize the bottom storage compartment, which makes the pack a bit large and unwieldy when loaded down.
