Deuter Kid Comfort III baby backpack

Improvements made to the 2007 Deuter Kid Comfort III : New Colors Vari-Flex hip belt with small storage pocket and mirror pocket Load adjustment straps on the hip belt Breathable child seat cushions More mesh and zippered storage pockets Stronger frame construction Reduced "pinch points" in the kick stand that might pinch your child's fingers Kickstand is less bulky, better contoured, and deploys more easily The Deuter Kid Comfort III is the best baby back carrier Deuter offers, which means it is one of the best kid carriers you can find anywhere. Long-distance hikers looking for a deluxe child carrier should have the Kid Comfort III at the top of their short list. With this deluxe Deuter baby carrier, you get nothing but top-of-the line features: a ventilated harness system, fully adjustable padded child cockpit with side entry buckles, TONS of storage space, and an integrated weather shield. Add additional bells and whistles like haul loops, a mirror to view your baby, top quality fabrics, reflectors, and high tech comforts like the air-mesh hip belt and bi-laminate foam lining in the shoulder straps and your list of "bests" gets even longer. The side-buckle entry system makes getting your baby in and out of the cockpit a (few) snap(s), and the redesigned kickstand is not only easier to retract, it doesn't stick out as far; so you'll be less likely to knock things over. Deuter child carriers like the Kid Comfort II and Kid Comfort III come highly recommended by the staff of ChildCarriers.com, and the improvements made by Deuter to the 2007 line (see above) of Kid Comfort carriers only reinforces this perspective. The Kid Comfort III's heavy-duty frame and extensive storage space make it ideal for long hiking trips, but it's definitely too bulky for everyday urban use. What is a Vari-Quick Harness? The Kid Comfort III has a distinctive harness adjustment system, called the Vari-Quick that allows mom or dad to trade the pack and adjust its harness fit quickly and easily. A simple Velcro enclosure moves the shoulder straps up or down along a "ladder" to accommodate different users. The Vari-Quick harness gives the Kid Comfort III quick and customizable comfort options that you will not get with any other backpack baby carrier.
