Description

The Thule Sapling combines best-in-class comfort for both parent and child. The child seat is designed with a ventilated backpanel and sitting area. The ergonomic seat supports the legs to provide optimal positioning and comfort. A deployable UPF 50 sunshade attaches to provide cool shade, and packs away when not in use. The modular design allows for components to be removed and machine washed. Load baby from the top of the carrier, or unclip the side access to allow for toddler to climb in and out. For the parents, the Thule Sapling is fully adjustable - both the torso and hipbelt easily adjust for the perfect fit. A ventilated back panel prevents moisture buildup by providing air flow for all day comfort. For hiking trips, a hydration reservoir can be packed in the rear compartment, and integrated into the shoulder strap (hydration reservoir sold separate). There is plenty of accessible storage throughout the pack- both the 22L rear compartment and the zippered hip belt pouches keep necessities within arms reach. With innovative and practical features, the Thule Sapling is the ideal child carrier backpack for any type of adventure.

    • Was perfect for my national park trip, sturdy, secure, easy to adjust
Color: Black
The backpack is a pretty big and heavy frame backpack. It does not require any kind of real setup. You just open it and it is a good to go. You can collapse the backpack for easy storage. It does have enough room on the bottom for some supplies such as bottle water and snacks. That being said it is a good backpack for my nephew. I am able to put him in and secure him to the backpack without worry of him getting out. The seat belt is really strong so he cannot move out of it. It also is easy to adjust and secure. The material is very sturdy and can handle the weight of up to 50 lb. My nephew sits comfortably inside the seat. There is a cushion in the front that he has some cushion if he falls forward. You can remove the cushion and wash it if needed. The shoulder pads are pretty comfortable and easy to adjust which is nice. It actually reduces the discomfort on my shoulder when I am carrying my nephew. There is also a buckle across the chest and waist so you can be sure it'll be secure to you. There is a kick out stand that you can use when you put the backpack down so my nephew can continue to remain seated inside. The kickback stand has a bit of grip on the bottom and it supports my nephew even when he shake around in it. It does not fall over or anything which is great. There is enough space in front of him to put a book in front of him so he can read. There is also a shade piece that you can easily put on to protect him from the sun. The shade secures well so if it is windy it will not fly off. Just be careful when you are taking the shade off as it is a flexible piece that will snap out when you remove it from the socket. The backpack is not washable in the machine and usually just spray wash and air dry. The cushion in the front is easy to remove and wash. The material gets stained easily and it is really hard to clean. I still was unable to remove that stain in the front. It does work for long hikes although I would still suggest using hiking sticks with this. It does even out the weight but leaning one way could cause imbalance. The back is also breathable so it allows for air to pass through and keep you cool. It is not water proof so be aware of that. This is still a heavy backpack due to the frame but it is secure. This is a secure backpack and easy to use. It is very sturdy and supports the weight of my nephew. He is comfortable and could even fall asleep in the backpack. You have plenty of buckles and adjustment for comfort. The only thing I found bad is the teal color is easy to stain and hard to wash. ... show more

    • Great carrier
Color: Black
Review Image by Jason
This hiking carrier is so great. We've already racked up lots of miles on it. It is fairly lightweight compared to other units, and has great ventilation for both parent and child. My 3 year old is super comfortable in it. There are a lot of ways to adjust this carrier to fit well, and both parents are able to comfortably wear it after adjusting. The carrier feels really safe and straps baby in well with a five point harness. It also self-stands up very stable when the stand bar is open. I know these carriers are quite the investment - this one truly is worth the money. ... show more

    • Must have for hiking with toddler!
Color: Black
This has been a fantastic addition to walking around with children. The storage compartment on the bottom is a nice addition as it is easy to access while the backpack is on. I am able to fit everything we need for a day of hiking with my son. The additional belt storage is a definite bonus to this pack! The process of fitting a child is difficult at times however once your child is fitted properly, this is very easy to use. ... show more

    • Well built and comfortable but lack features
Color: Black
Thule is a great company that make excellent products and this child carrier backpack is no exception. It is well built, very functional and lightweight. However, consider the competition they have like the Osprey child carrier backpack they kind of missed on the feature list ▶ No support for the little one feet when he get older/taller ▶ back adjustment is easy but velcro tends to weaken. Amore robust solution would have been better ▶ Child seat is meshed which is great for air circulation but no real adjustment to the height could be made ▶ The sun shade canopy does not fold into a dedicated comportment so you might find yourself losing it Otherwise, it very comfortable for both child and parent. Easy to clean with some high traffic section that can be taken off to clean I still think Osprey have the upperhand at the moment ... show more

    • Comfortable baby carrier
Color: Black
Review Image by theblackknight
Review Image by theblackknight
This is a wonderful baby carrier that is fantastic for longer hikes. It transfers weight nicely to your hips, it keeps your little one snug, and it's got enough mesh to keep you from overheating or sweating too much while wearing it. My little one has gotten big enough that the all soft and flexible baby carriers have started putting more strain on my back and shoulders than I would like. This baby carrier, like a good backpacking pack, transfers all of their weight to my hips. I can still tell that my little one is less little than they used to be but after a hike with them, I don't have the same back and shoulder pain I used to. Huge improvement. The carrier itself has a fantastic color that's pleasingly neutral. The mesh helps to keep my little one from overheating and sweating on hikes. That might prove problematic in the winter but this will be great for 3 seasons of the year. The design of the pack also allows for a decent amount of airflow on my back too keeping me from overheating. Using the pack is pretty straight forward - in fact I didn't find the instructions until I tried to put a water bottle in the storage compartment on the bottom halfway through my hike. Even without the instructions getting my little one safely buckled in and getting the pack adjusted for my frame was pretty straight forward to figure out. The storage area on the bottom is generously sized - you could probably fit a picnic in there with room to spare or a handful of diaper bag style necessities. The canopy cover took a little longer to figure out but once I noticed the velcro and the sheaths for the arches, it all made sense. My only complaint with this pack is that getting it on after your little one is safely strapped in is a bit tricky to do on your own. If you have a partner to help you lift it onto your back and keep it upright for your little one, I'd recommend going that route to get it on. All in all, this is a fantastic baby carrier. I'm super happy I got it. ... show more
