He is currently President of the London Mountaineering Club, training to become a winter mountain leader, looking to finally finish bagging all the Wainwright fells of the Lake District and hoping to scale more Alpine 4000ers when circumstances allow. Creates a comfortable and supportive area for your young adventurer to see and interact with its surroundings. When on the road or travelling by plane, the carrier is in fact able to take on the role of a small bag. Nevertheless, there’s plenty of capacity and other storage options in the two open side pockets, zippered front pocket and the zippered hipbelt pockets. A great carrier for active families, this is an updated version of the original Cross Country carrier.

As with all LittleLife products the Cross Country is made of high quality, sturdy material, that can take the roughs of air travel. The Little Life Cross Country has proven a reliable and much loved piece of equipment for hikes and walks on all kinds of terrain. The Cross Country S4 is a good child carrier option for those not looking to spend too much, though it does fall short compared to more premium models.Its slung profile makes it versatile, while its carefully designed back system makes it very durable, yet extremely comfortable to wear.

I didn't do the front strap up across my chest at first and my back was hurting but once I could get the strap done up and had adjusted the other straps I was comfortable and could walk easily. With a fully adjustable back system to ensure the wearers comfort, it provides a secure and comfortable ride for the child, with a toy loop and soft face pad. I found the lack of a kickstand meant that it wasn’t quite as stable as I’d like when loading and unloading my daughter.

It’s fair to say all carriers of this type are much, much easier to use if you have a helper, who can take stuff out of the pockets, fit the sun shade, wipe snotty noses and spot nefarious behavior, without you having to repeatedly remove the whole thing. At best you can perch on the edge of a seat, but you must be prepared to stand on the bus, and hold on tight around tight corners. I did carry it once or twice, but be prepared for a lonely walk, as the man in your life will volunteer to take over! We were planning a trip to Cornwall and needed something that would not restrict us in the way a pushchair would. com/Imagestorage/imagesSynchro/0/0/aa74462ed12199b0c3365174b41ca7437092d79a_E22LITLBIV243599_LITL0671415_1.
