MINIMEIS G4 Shoulder Carrier

Product Information

Deuter packs are known for their quality suspension systems, and the latest model is a standout: it has a sturdy metal frame that easily handles a growing (and active) child, and the padded hipbelt and mesh backpanel mix support and ventilation very nicely. It’s important to note that the MiniMeis G4 should only be used with children who can sit up unaided.

Learn about different types of carriers, how to use them, and post a fit check for advice on how to get an optimal fit. Both Kelty carriers have large 26-liter capacities and lots of storage, and the Elite’s extras—including a hydration reservoir sleeve, mesh side pockets, and an easier-to-clean lining inside the lower compartment—are worth it for families that get out a lot. While it’s a bit of a funny term, this refers to the space surrounding the baby while they’re seated in the pack. This is why a shoulder carrier feels like a good idea – it will enable them to feel on top of the world while giving you some freedom.Since MiniMeis is not a free hanging support unit, the restraint and weight distribution system is less subject to material fatigue caused by gravity than conventional carriers. Fasten the shoulder straps, waist strap and leg straps, before picking your baby up around the waist – much like you’d do if you were lifting your child onto your shoulders without a carrier – then clip yourself in. A well-designed shoulder carrier will also consider the safety and comfort of the person bearing the weight of the child.

Osprey’s Poco sits below the Poco Plus in their kid carrier lineup, but it’s arguably the better value for the feature set. The drop in comfort and finicky sizing adjustments are what hurt the Clevrplus Cross Country on our list. Carry your child with the child carrier and discover the world together - ergonomic and back-friendly You have both hands free and can be active without restrictions.

He knew there had to be a way to make this position more comfortable and went right to work making prototypes. Wouldn't it be amazing to go on (long) walks with your baby or toddler and be comfortable and stylish at the same time?

When discovering the world in the MiniMeis baby carrier, your baby sits safely just above your shoulders. I learned this the hard way as I walked into a branch forgetting my daughter was up on my shoulders. In this way you will have no pressure over the chest area, whilst the MiniMeis will still sit tight and secure to your torso.In addition, the removable daypack is quite simple and doesn’t carry a load very well, and unlike the Thule above, it can’t be attached to the pack. We ship every business day from our storage and deliver within 1-3 business days in Europe using our partner DHL. As in a highchair, the child should be able to sit upright without support before sitting in a MiniMeis. If multiple adults will wear the baby carrier, a highly adjustable fit system can be an important feature.

The lightweight, fun-coloured trainers have Gaitline's signature 'SGL technology' built in, which is said to optimise balance and coordination. They do not ventilate very well, so they’re not as helpful in hot climates, but rain covers are nice backups to have in case of a surprise storm. In particular, it strikes us that Thule is relying a bit too much on velcro in the design: the backpanel has long strips of the material for adjusting the torso height, and it’s the same story for securing the drool pad along the sides. Children love sitting on their parent’s shoulders – and while most parents know the immense amount of joy to be had from their child’s beaming smile as they realise they are suddenly taller than everyone else, they are also acutely aware of how quickly this posture gets tiring and uncomfortable.Comfort for the parent is provided by placing your child on a specially designed seat, hovering just above your shoulders, relieving your neck and shoulders from direct stress. MiniMeis is just as compact as regular baby carriers (unless it’s a sling you could smush and stuff into a regular backpack), but with an additional strap if your toddler decides it’s time to walk instead of riding on your shoulders you can easily carry the folded carrier. We’re also happy to see that Osprey didn’t trim away key features like generous storage (21 liters total), hydration reservoir compatibility, and a deployable sunshade. The MiniMeis G4 was surprisingly comfortable given that you are taking extra weight across your shoulders.
