Snugli Cross Terrain Frame Carrier Looking for a comfortable way to carry your child? The Snugli Cross Terrain with Internal Frame allows your child to go everywhere you go. This baby carrier brings comfort to both you and your little one. It fits adults measuring 5 feet to 6 feet 2 inches in height! One of the standout features of this Snugli baby carrier is the lightweight and compact design. It's a cinch to bring anywhere and stores compactly when not in use. It features padded, load balancing straps which evenly distribute your child's weight, and an adjustable parent hip belt with a mesh lining. This is one of the premier versions of baby backpack carriers! Amazon.com Review:
So many baby backpacks are either too robust and gear-heavy for everyday urban use, or too flimsy for a jaunt out in the country. Not so the Snugli Cross Terrain Carrier. Surprisingly comfortable and lightweight (under 8 pounds empty), this carrier is an excellent baby backpack for parents on the go. In appearance and design, it’s suitable for the great rugged outdoors, be it wilderness or city. Parents can even forego bulky strollers when traveling (or heading out to the grocery store). Chock-full of storage compartments, the Cross Terrain carries far more than just baby! Pockets, Pockets, and More Pockets!
We may have lost track, but at last count there were 13 storage compartments in this hefty backpack (not counting baby’s seat!), including removable hip pouch, mesh cup holder, hip pockets, side pockets, cell phone pocket, large storage area, rear storage compartment, canopy storage, removable insulated bottle pack, zippered pocket, and key ring hook (technically not a compartment, but useful storage anyway!). Ample space for diapers, wipes, snacks, bottles, change of clothes, wallet, cell phone, keys, and more. The hip and side pockets are a small but especially handy feature. So often you need someplace to shove a receipt or glove or map for a moment until you can get yourself organized better. When hauling baby around on your back, you don’t want to be removing the pack all the time for every little thing. Ride in Comfort
Baby will love seeing the world from a grownup’s perspective, riding high and close to Mom or Dad. The soft, padded leg openings, backrest, and harness straps will keep baby comfy, while the five-point harness system keeps her secure. A seat side adjustment grows with your child; tighten the strap to move smaller babies closer to your back or loosen strap to give larger babies a little more space. A removable mesh and canvas canopy offers some protection from the elements (although it will not prevent sunburn). Caution: once baby is installed in the carrier, she is within hair-pulling and happy-screeching-in-ear range! Walk in Comfort
The beauty of the Cross Terrain Child Carrier is that it’s very cozy for baby and easy on the parental carrier’s back, shoulders, and hips. Load-balancing straps distribute weight evenly, while padded contoured straps are gentle on the shoulders and hips. All straps are adjustable, including hip belt, sternum straps, and shoulder straps, for a custom fit every time for every carrier. If Mom, at 5 foot 2, passes the carrier over to 6-foot-tall Dad, all he needs to do is adjust a few straps for a perfect fit. Keep in mind that putting on the baby backpack is ideally a two-person job. Safety First
Please read all instructions in the included manual before gallivanting off cross-country! Baby’s safety (and your joints) depends on it! A few additional notes: reflective trim makes urban evening walks a little bit safer. The kickstand keeps the carrier upright when loading and unloading baby—but don’t leave her there unattended! And never place the carrier on elevated surfaces with baby inside. The carrier is designed for children who can sit upright unassisted (from about 6 months on), and who are between 16 and 40 pounds, although most children will probably have moved beyond the baby backpack stage well before the 40-pound mark! --Emilie Coulter Editorial Review:
The motto for this brand is "Never miss a moment!" That should tell you just how versatile it could be. The Cross Terrain carrier is for active parents, who want to bring along Baby, but only if both can be comfortable. It comes with a height-adjustable seat that "grows" with your child; padded, adjustable, load-bearing harnesses and restraints; and sturdy back support. A mesh panel, strategically placed, keeps grownups cool and comfortable, and another mesh canopy protects Baby from the sun. Multiple storage areas (side pockets, cup holder, panels, large item compartment, bottle pack for food and baby supplies) make it easy to store everything you need. To top it off, a sturdy kickstand holds up you supply-filled monster once it's off your back, and baby is in your lap. Its lightweight design easily folds down into a compact, easy-to-carry unit no more than 8.5 pounds empty. --Diane Beall Amazon.com Hands-On Review:
