Review: Perfect blend of style, comfort and function! - My husband and I really wanted to find a carrier for our two year old daughter that would perform well during our outdoor hikes and traveling but also with everyday use as she hates being in a stroller and pretty much refuses to get into one. She actually enjoys getting into this backpack which made the whole experience of using this with her, a pleasurable one. I like it most for the trendy army "jungle" green color and how comfortable it is to wear. My husband enjoys it for the convenience of all the little extras on it like the water pack and hose, the removable backpack, the overhead rain and sun guard and the tons and TONS of extra storage space this thing has to keep snacks, diapers, wipes, water bottles, etc. You can fit anything and everything into this one carrier so we don't worry about having anything extra to carry by hand. I'm so glad we ended up getting this one in particular because it perfectly met both of our individual needs and style. I know this is a matter of vanity but I love that either one of us can wear this and it looks/feels great. For reference my daughter is 25 months, 35 inches tall and weighs 24 pounds. She fits perfectly with plenty of room to grow. Definitely a great purchase and would buy again for friends and family that also enjoy backpacking/hiking with their little ones. Hope this helps!
Review: Great product, great company - Before I get into the product review, I’d like to make a customer service review...... the company that fulfills Mindful Engineering’s orders for them had some sort of miscommunication and the scout wasn’t actually in stock. I didn’t mind the shipment being late, but at some point, i was leaving for a trip and needed the pack. I contacted Mindful Engineering through desertcart and despite the fact that they had two days to reply, within hours I received a very sweet and sincere message with an apology and an offer to send a loaner until the scout was delivered. I got the loaner very quickly and was also sent a return label for it once I finally got the scout. Just a wonderful experience despite a hiccup. As for the scout...... well made, high quality, tons of storage. Rambunctious 7 month loved it and took naps in it. Sun shade was a must. Insulated zipper pocket kept his lunch cool. Pulled him out after 3 hours of heat thinking I would need to change his clothes and he wasn’t sweaty at all. Definitely watch the video on their website on how to make adjustments. I was a little fidgety with my straps and couldn’t get them 100% where I’d like them, but he felt light and my hikes were pretty hard. I’ve never used one of these before so I don’t know how it compares to the more expensive packs or the cheaper packs, but I am very happy with my purchase.
