5.0 out of 5 stars
Folds flat! comfy for me and baby, February 17, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Evenflo Snugli Cross Country Frame Carrier (Toy)
Wow this is the best hiker I have used yet! A real good buy for the money. I have spent over $100.00 on other caryall packs and had to take them back due to hard to use, bulky, and just did not work very well. This one folds away to almost nothing when not in use and is very comfy to wear and even fits Dad who is a large frame 6foot 2in man! I love all the storage room too. We can walk all day with everything we need now. Perfect for the day walker, hiker or goin camping. I would recomend this carrier to everyone, City or Country!

Close, comfy and versitile, September 16, 2003
This review is from: Evenflo Snugli Cross Country Frame Carrier (Toy)
I was a little afraid of buying something like this online, without being able to really see or feel it. But lucky me, this was the one I picked and it works like a dream! I have back trouble and carring my 24lb. 7month old around everywhere was starting to kill me. On top of that he was starting to get adveturous enough that being shoved in a stroller was his idea of torture. So I bought this carrier to get daily relief so that my back could heal and I could still get things done.
Now after using it almost everyday for over a month, I still love it. Some days he's in there for HOURS while I run errands and do my work, and my back does fine. I will say that you need to understand and adjust all the straps properly to get the fit just right and experiance the best load transfer to the legs, but once adjusted it is extremely effective. One guy said that it didn't look like it changed enough to accomidate a taller man after looking at it in the store, but it was obvious after seeing it that he simply did not bother to see how the staps worked. I am 5'5" and my husband is just outside the suggested height range at 6'3", and it fits us BOTH beautifully. And the snaps and such that buckle in the baby and adjust the waist belt are color coded so you don't have to fish for them, VERY cool.
I also have to say that I was suprised at the amount of storage space it offers. I was afraid that I still might have to lug a diaper bag along with me, but was overjoyed when I found that a small bag with diapers, wipes, food, toys and my personals would fit into the compartment under the seat with room to spare!
I do wish it had a pocket for wallet or cellphone within reach, but I've solved that by hooking a clip on cellphone pouch to one of the front straps. Overall, baby goes in securely, my back is saved, the adjustments allow a perfect fit for almost any frame, and I can wear it for hours. GREAT PRODUCT.

a much better choice than trailblazer, July 18, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Evenflo Snugli Cross Country Frame Carrier (Toy)
I recently purchased the Trailblazer after reading all the positive feedback on it. What a disappointment! After spending three days trying to adjust the numerous straps and clips, I simply could not find a comfortable setting. It was just too cumbersome! The Cross Country is lighter, much easier to adjust, with a sleeker design that makes it better for travel and storage. We use a backpack often...just around the house and for travel...and this is a great choice. My daughter sits very comfortably in it,is able to see everything around her, and is able to interact with me without straining to peer over my shoulder like in the Trailblazer.
