Description
An innovative child seat to maximize comfort.
Comfort is key when you are out with your kids, so we have created one of the most comfortable backpacks on the market. We call our unique child seat system ErgoRide, it provides complete support underneath the child’s legs to disperse their weight. The result? Longer hikes in comfort and no need for the stirrups that are used on most carriers. Compared to stirrups, our child seat ensures your child's legs are supported even when they kick or move around.
Easy to wear, easy to use.
The lightweight Thule Sapling is super comfortable for parents to wear on long hikes, too. The fully adjustable torso and hip belt provide a perfect fit and the carrier is easy to switch between parents on your trip. Also, the opening of the side panel makes it easy to get a squirming child in and out of the carrier. The convenient side zippers let you easily access the 22L gear compartment while wearing the pack.

Comfy backpack for baby!
Bought this for our first backpacking trip with baby. He’s 6.5 months so perfect to start using this. I like how it’s adjustable for mom and dad. Not a great amount of storage but we made it work. Would love if the additional pack and rain cover came with the carrier as it’s pricey!

5/5
We’ve used this carrier on multiple hikes now and it’s exceeded all expectations. The build quality is excellent — super sturdy, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. The adjustable fit for both parents is a huge plus, especially when switching between users of different sizes. Our child is secure and comfortable, often even falls asleep in it, which says a lot! The storage compartments are surprisingly spacious, making it easy to pack snacks, diapers, and other essentials without needing an extra bag. I also appreciate the built-in sunshade, which provides great protection and peace of mind on sunny days. Overall, this carrier has made family outings so much more enjoyable. If you’re an active family, this is absolutely worth the investment!

Best hiking carrier!
We love this carrier so much we just bought a second one to hike with our 8 month old and 2 year old. It’s so easy to adjust the straps and packs to fit my husband or myself. The adjustable hip belt has huge pockets to safely store keys and phones. I can easily reach the back main compartment without having to take the pack off! Our favourite part is the seat which scoops under the kiddos bum so their legs aren’t dangling straight down. It feels secure and supportive on hikes, and we love the rain cover for both rain and cold winter days. Parent and kiddo approved! 10/10

Great for Family Adventures
I bought this over a month ago and have taken it in a few hikes with my daughter and she loves it. I tried a few other brands but I think that the Thule is worth the price. The only downside side is that there is not water bottle holder you have to use a bladder which on shorter hikes I don’t normally bring. But over all it’s great.
