The Osprey Poco LT Nylon Child Carrier Backpack is designed for safe and comfortable transport of young children during hiking, travel, and outdoor walking. Featuring a lightweight yet sturdy frame, a comfortable suspension system, and practical storage options, this nylon child carrier allows parents and children to share new experiences and perspectives while maintaining freedom and mobility on the trail or in the city.
Advantages
The carrier incorporates a lightweight and compact frame that packs down smaller than standard framed carriers, making it ideal for travel and navigation in tight spaces such as busy streets or shops. A zip-away harness and hipbelt protect the straps from damage during transport or storage. The built-in pull-out sunshade provides a UPF 50+ rating to protect the child from sun exposure, while mesh side panels allow continuous air circulation. Practical storage includes a zippered hipbelt pocket, an easy-access stretch-mesh pocket, a front zippered pocket, and a large zippered lower compartment for essentials.
