Great backpack for the money,
By A Customer
This review is from: Evenflo Snugli Cross Roads Carrier, Navy/Taupe (Baby Product)
If you are not going to go on any extensive hiking trips--this backpack is great. I took my 15-months old to the store to try out several models, and this was the only one he didn't cry in. I was very skeptical about this carrier because of its low price (and my husband asked me not to buy anything cheap), but the more expensive models were a lot more enclosed, making the child very hot. This backpack leaves lots of room for air circulation and it also has mesh sides for ventilation, and the pack itself is not very thick and a lot more breathable than the more expensive models. It is very comfortable for me and my husband to carry our son in it, and our son absolutely loves it. I don't think, I'd be able to use it for longer hiking trips (like a day-long), but we never go on such trips anyways. This backpack doesn't have much storage--just a little mesh pocket, but I don't mind that, if I am carrying the backpack with the child, then my husband can carry the diaper bag (or vice versa), and even when I am alone, I'd like to have easy access to the diaper bag, and that's hard to do if it's attached to the backpack (you'd have to take the pack with the child off your back in order to get something in or out). I am using this backpack to walk around our apartment complex at night--my son is breathing fresh air and I get a good exercise.I have two complaints: 1) the straps used to buckle the child are a bit rough and could use some soft fabric around them; 2) the backpack positions the child a bit high and its hard for the child to get comfortable when he falls asleep The moral of the story is -- if you like going on long hiking trips, go with more expensive models like Kelty Town, if you are like most of us and only go on short walks in the park or around your neighborhood--this backpack is great, especially considering its cost.

It's okay....not bad, but not great,

This review is from: Evenflo Snugli Cross Roads Carrier, Navy/Taupe (Baby Product)
I got this to use for short periods of time and it works fine for that. But after an hour or so, my shoulders really start to ache. My son is 15 months, 32 inches, and 27 pounds and he fits comfortably in the carrier and we haven't had any trouble with his straps digging into him or causing any discomfort. And it's not bad to carry with that amount of weight; it's at least an hour before I start to hurt and I can make it 2 hours before I'm in real pain. The waist strap is comfortable (and I'm short--5'2"), but I've had trouble with the chest strap (I'm also busty, though) and haven't been able to get it perfectly adjusted. My son loves the ride and the view and it's definitely handy. It is hard to put on alone; you need another person or a waist-high table (my SUV's tailgate works fine) to get it on safely. If you just need a carrier for the occasional short trip, this is great for the price. But if you plan to use it frequently or for long trips, go with something better.

Good for mom NOT baby!,

This review is from: Evenflo Snugli Cross Roads Carrier, Navy/Taupe (Baby Product)
I am 5'4" and rather large chested and this pack including the mommy straps fits me GREAT! I bought this packpack after my son and I decided to take advantage of the beautiful area and go hiking. Well day #1 seemed ok I was very comfortable with the pack, though it was very hard to get on and off alone. I hike alone with my son and it wasn't convenient for me. My 6 month old son is 17lbs and 28" he seems comfortable in the carrier EXCEPT for the fact that the straps cut into his shoulders and thighs. I love that the pack has leg straps VERY NICE, but I don't like that it hurts my baby. Also when my son does fall asleep he leans on my neck and that hurts me alot. He trys to fall asleep when he's not lying on my neck but the board inbetween him and I seems to hurt his face and head. His arms kind of just hang there he doesn't really have anything to do with them (except the occasional hair pull of my pony tail). I would not tell anyone i know to buy this PLUS I am going to return mine to the store. What I need that this carrier does not have is padded straps for the baby, adjustable height (for baby seat), somewhere for my babys arms to go, I would like the baby to be comfortable, but also sit away from me a bit so that he's not lying on my neck.
