Product Highlights

Functional and fashionable, the Kelty Frame Carrier FC 1.0 offers quality performance at an affordable price. Combining safety features and carrying capacity, the Frame Carrier FC 1.0 lets your child accompany you on all your adventures. The Frame Carrier FC 1.0 is suitable for children who can sit up by themselves.

A lightweight aluminum frame provides solid support to the Frame Carrier FC 1.0, enabling it to carry up to 50 pounds, including your child, the carrier and gear. Though sturdy enough for overnight trips or rugged dayhiking, the Frame Carrier FC 1.0 is compact and lightweight enough for simple walks, errands and around-town travel. An auto-deploy kickstand maintains the Frame Carrier FC 1.0's sleek profile while providing a safe, stable base for loading and unloading your child. Together, the contoured and padded shoulder straps, a cushioned molded backpanel and a padded waistbelt make the Frame Carrier FC 1.0 comfortable to carry. The height of the waistbelt can be adjusted to accommodate torsos ranging from 16"-18". A sternum strap further enhances fit and provide greater comfort.

The padded child seat and 5-point harness ensure your child's safety and help to effectively distribute weight and balance the Frame Carrier FC 1.0 on your back. The height of the seat can be adjusted to account for the growth of your child.

A compartment underneath the child seat provides 750 cubic inches of storage capacity. A zippered pocket on the waistbelt provides another storage option for valuables. Sewn-in carry handles make the Frame Carrier FC 1.0 easy to tote. Reflective highlights increase the visibility of the Frame Carrier FC 1.0.

Made of 600D polyester and brushed nylon fabrics, the Kelty Frame Carrier FC 1.0 is available in your choice of Blueberry, Green Apple or Tangerine color options.

Colors available: Blueberry, Green Apple, Tangerine

Likes: We bought this carrier for our 26 month old toddler. It fit him very well and he loved it from the first moment. It is also very comfortable to carry. The price was good as well. I would recommend this carrier to anyone.

Dislikes: There is nothing we didn't like

Likes: Great Carrier!!! Very Lightweight; comfortable for me, my husband, and my son (1.5 years-old). My son took a 2.5 - 3 hour hike with us. He was in the Carrier for most of the hike. When we stopped for short rests, we would just pull out the metal "legs" and place the carrier on even-ground. Then my son would just chill in it without having to come out.
The storage space underneath the seat is roomy enough for the essentials - a couple of diapers, wipes, extra clothing, a couple of bottles (with room to spare). I am glad we did not get the more expensive larger version, because the extra bag would have really been overkill in our case.
Looking forward to more hikes and strolls in town!!!

Dislikes: There isn't really any place for my son to put his feet... He was mostly either dangling his feet off the sides, or kicking my husband in the back... Kelty should think of some kind of foot-rests for the child. When my son gets bigger it might be even more of a problem, because his feet won't fit "inside" at all.
Other than that cannot think of anything else that I would improve.

Likes: It works very well and is easily adjustable. It does a great job transferring weight to my hips. And my son (2 years old) LOVES it!

Dislikes: There's really nothing wrong with it. Of course I wish it cost less, but all in all I think it's a reasonable price.

Likes: I love that everything on the pack is adjustable so that you can get it set just right for your body type and size. It is easy to get my child situated in and to get up onto my back. It makes trips to the zoo and hiking much easier than attempting to push around a bulky stroller, and my daughter loves how much she can see being up higher than a stroller. There is plenty of storage in the bottom compartment for diapers and other necessary accessories for a day out, which is great. The pop out kickstand is another feature which makes the pack easy to use and the frame distributes the weight well enough that I don't get sore carrying my 33lb two and a half year old.

Dislikes: The directions for adjusting the settings took some time to understand, but were still helpful.
