Deuter Kid Comfort

By combining excellent levels of comfort and safety, superior build quality, and organization, Deuter Kid Comfort is our top selection for the best hiking baby carriers.

Deuter packs are well-known for their superior shock absorbers, and this current Deuter Kid Comfort model is no exception. The pack is a well-appointed mid-range variant in the Kid Comfort portfolio. It has a robust metal frame that readily supports a developing (and active) youngster. Also, the cushioned hip belt and vented back panel provide an excellent balance of support and ventilation. Furthermore, Deuter also offers one of the greatest kid seat designs available. Although the buckle system is not as straightforward as the Osprey Poco, the five-point strap is quite safe and easy to modify.

Even better, the high back, the supporting sides, and the soft and machine-washable front cushion allow for excellent mid-hike rests (and easy cleaning after). The sunshade deploys fast and boasts a separate pouch behind your back, ensuring there is enough storage for most day outings. Last but not least, the side entrance option is convenient for children who wish to load and unload their items independently.
