Hiked yesterday carrying my toddler 3 miles in my arms. She wouldn’t stop crying when I put her down. Never again. So here I am.
I’ve been there! Still happens occasionally with my four year old… don’t stop hiking, keep them outside!
So helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to provide a comparison like that. It's much appreciated.
Great video, thanks! I appreciate that you didn't point out every single little thing about it (like showing every single pocket) and that you just stuck to what I'd consider to be the most important items to consider.
Thanks! Happy trails.
Great review! Thank you
What a review! Thank you for your thoughtful opinion, it helped me to choose.
I’m glad you found it useful! 👋🏼
Thanks for sharing! What is the difference in the space that each of the packs takes up? I'm leaning towards the Osprey, but am worried it would take up significantly more space in the car when traveling which could be an issue on long road trips, etc. Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks :)
Real nice review! Have you ever tried your wife’s deuter kids comfort? Which one do you like better. I’m also trying to choose between those two. Thanks!
Great review; however the Osprey Poco Plus should be compared to the Deuter Kid Comfort PRO (since they are both their top models). I actually prefer the way you can sung the child closer to you on the Deuter, makes your center-of-gravity is more upright. the Deuter is VERY comfortable for longer distances. Also one thing to note; the duration (time) children should be in the child carriers is limited to 30-40min then a 5-10min break in-between, same as you would for a jolly-jumper. One more thing to note about the Deuter, the child seat was designed with consultation from pediatricians and it TUV safety certified.
So you would recommend deuter ?
Hi, Are this systems with frame more comfortable than a manduca ssc for a person with back problems?
Thank you!
great comparison
What age are your kids when you have used these? Would they both work well with say 2-3 year Olds?
Hey, Redlands! Any thoughts on the LT vs the Plus? I'm trying to decide if I will miss the stirrups.
Have you tried the deuter comfort pro?
the osprey frame looks likem its rocking?
We love our Osprey but yes. The water bladder really was rough getting it into place.
Agreed. That’s my only complaint, and it’s a really small one at that!
Fantastic clip!
eXplorer thank you!
Good review but maybe try comparing the Poco Plus to the Kid Comfort Plus, you’re comparing the Luxury osprey to the base model Deuter. Also I like that the Deuter isn’t a fully ridged system and can be compressed when not in use on the way to the trail head.
The Osprey can be compressed though - the red clips at shoulder height on the back undo and go into the receivers down on the bottom (@ 6:15)
haiironezumi That’s good to know, they didn’t say that in the video.
Hi guys! Love the review. Just have one question since the kid is above the shoulder, does it affects your balance?
I feel like there is a learning curve that you will get used to after a few hikes, but both backpacks are certainly better than a traditional baby carrier that doesn’t have a hard shell. The Deuter is slightly less stable and prone to throw you off balance when going down hill.
@@halohalohikers3571 thank you so much!!
Hello:-) Review was pretty clear to me. I am a shorter person and my height is 152 cm, female. Looks like Deuter is the one to go for. Nevertheless, could you please recommend a few carriers that I can consider?
I am the first time buyer, hence I am confused which one to buy
Great video! Question: Would you prefer the Osprey in a situation where you would fall over backwards? Or does the Deuter also provide a certain degree of protection? Due to the Osprey having a 360° metal frame...
The Osprey would win in that regards!
Hey! Nice review. Any idea which bag is heavier? The osprey look really overbuilt.
Osprey 7lb 11oz. Deuter 6lb 1oz.
Thanks for the great review ! One question, though: Does the Osprey collapse down at all ? Or is the frame pretty much always fixed in that open position ??
The Deuter seems to collapse down more.
They both collapse to about the same size.
Works great.
Thanks for the review , I think I will go with the osprey so I can bring my boy to the mountains, by the way , where did you get your halo halo name?
The wife is Filipino. Halo halo means “mix mix” (Filipino dessert that I instantly fell in love with when I first tried it.) Also, our family is a mixed family so it seemed appropriate!
Also going with the osprey.
Could you please tell me up to what waist size (of the adult wearing the pack) the osprey poco plus accommodates?
It is fully adjustable with two straps on each hip! I’m not sure of the exact belt size it accommodates.
Great review. Would a 2 and half year old, 20 kg child be large or heavy?
Depends how far your hiking or difficult of terrain your climbing. 20kg is right around my upper limit, I can’t carry much more then that for an extended period of time. With carrying water and other gear that puts the total weight just a bit too high for me personally.
Have you had any issues getting the sunshade on the Osprey back into the bag? I find that it sticks a bit, especially down near the bottom. Not sure if it's a product issue or a me issue 😂
Yes! It’s kind of a pain the butt. I have to take the backpack off and put it on the ground to man handle it in and out. And my wife can’t do it.
@@halohalohikers3571 Good to know that I'm not alone!
I have the now discontinued Osprey Poco Premium AG. The main difference is that the rear upper storage is removable and gives you a separate 12L backpack.
Curious, do you use the footstraps on the two. I always was under the impression that a baby's knees need to be up high. But I can't seem to find much about it in regards to all these carriers. Thnx for the video!
Neither of my kids liked using them!
@@halohalohikers3571 thanks for letting me know!
I picked up a used osprey today and the hip straps rub my hips raw for the 10 mins I used it.
Redlands!
Hi ,, would it be enough room in the suitcase for the carrier?
Maybe if you had a really large suit case, but there wouldn’t be much room for anything else. They sell bags that you can put the packs in and it makes it easier to travel with them.
what is max weight of a kid these can hold?
Max capacity is 48 lbs and that INCLUDES the carrier itself and any contents.
In therm on long use. I think deuter will win coz. It can hold baby much better because of more space it have. Osprey in other side, good when the baby still much younger. It become not comfortable when the baby grow up.
Can you share how tall your wife is? I’m also small framed but still think the Osprey will be small enough to be comfortable?
5’2”
Did you purchase the Osprey? How did it work for you? I’m 5’1” and really want the Osprey but not if it’ll be tough to fit for me.
What ages/weights of child can these back packs take?
I think they are both rated up to about 50lbs but at a certain point the carriers get uncomfortable for the child once their legs have to bend too much when setting the bag down. Our kids outgrew the carrier around 4ish years old even though technically the bag could hold the weight, it just became too uncomfortable for the both of us right around that age.
@@halohalohikers3571 and what age is it suitable to start using from? Is their a lower limit?
@@streamr89 If they are strong enough to hold their head up they will be fine. We used a soft carrier until about 6 months old then switch to these.
Which one would you buy?
For myself I went with the Osprey it fit me perfect. Also, I've had several other Osprey bags and they always have been high quality. The hard shell felt really secure and overall its a great choice.
It did not fit my wife when she tried it on, so she decided she liked the Deuter better!
👍
Very nice review. 👍 Too bad (or not too bad) we are past that stage in our hiking lives. 😁 Subscribed to follow your journey (#377). I hope our channels grow together on RUclips. 🔥
Roadtrippin' with Takacs oh cool another hiking family! We are such a small niche we have to have each other’s back. Thanks for the support! I subbed back and can’t wait to see what trips you guys go on. 👊🏼
Has your wife tried the osprey? And for how long and how did she feel? I’ve been trying to find a rugged hiking girl wearing Osprey on reviews, but I’m getting a lot of men. The duter was on my list but I’m going to be wearing it for hours hiking for 3 weeks on and off and the fact that it’s less supportive makes me nervous BUT if the Osprey doesn’t fit right, the support won’t work. I’m 5’1 110 so I’m pretty small too and that seems to be an issue.
Ugg baby carrier makers...you need to make better women’s ones!
Go with whichever fits you comfortably. She’s 5’2” and the osprey just was too big around her frame. Both are very rugged and solid choices.
Halo Halo Hikers thanks your video made me think...I should check the torso specs because I’m buying on line! Thanks!
I'm 5.4 and we have twin toddlers. My husband prefers the Osprey (we have the poco plus) but I can't seem to properly adjust it. I wear the Deuter kid comfort active (which is also only 5 lbs).
Eva Paula Hutanu thank you! I got the Osprey and although the specs matched my torso and waist, I’m having issues. I tried it out around the yard with my 2 year old and the hip band hurt, surprisingly, because it’s padded good! And the next day I had a small bruise after 15 mins of wearing it. Soooo I’m not sure hours of wearing it off and on hiking and road tripping isn’t going to work 🤦🏼♀️
I was worried the deuter or Thule wouldn’t do good on hard-core hikes. How long are you able to wear your deuter before it starts to be uncomfortable?
@@peoplenoodlesoup I've not done much longer than an hour yet, because twins are still getting used to needing out and about (so many naps, so many snacks!). I wonder if you live close to an REI, maybe they could troubleshoot the fit. They have an option online too.
Great advice my friend I gave you a HUGE like for this one!! Please stay connected and let me know what you think of my journey!
Travel Agent Cale will do.
Deuter is pronounced „doy-ter“ ;-)
Your using the wrong type of water reservoir in the poco AG plus, try using a osprey hydraulics reservoir, or any that are designed to filled from the top instead of the side. because there design they are more ergonomic and easier to adapt across most brands of packs and child carriers
Daniel Howard I have tried it. It’s still difficult to insert.
The mesh damage is 100% at the fault of the user. No mesh material is going to withstand being snagged on bushes/branches over time. Not a con of the pack at all.
