Product Highlights
The Sherpani Rumba Superlight child carrier combines fashionable design with an array of performance features. Available in a variety of colors, the Rumba Superlight offers 1500 cubic inches of storage capacity, includes a sunshade/raincover and carries up to 55 pounds.
The Rumba Superlight's fully adjustable child seat and five-point harness ensure the safety and comfort of your child. A soft foam chest plate holds your child in place and combats against rubs and hot spots. As your child grows, the height of the child seat adjusts to provide the ideal position for riding in the Rumba Superlight. Built-in adjustable stirrups help to balance weight and give little feet a place to rest which aids in circulation. The Rumba Superlight has a carrying capacity of up to 55 lbs., including child, pack and gear.
A lightweight internal framesheet, contoured foam backpanel and single aluminum stay combine to support the weight of the Rumba Superlight and provide flexibility while in use. A fold-out "kickstand" enables the Rumba Superlight to stand securely on its own. NOTE: This feature is not designed to have the Rumba Superlight function as an actual child seat, but it does provide a sturdy base for loading and unloading your child.
Dense padding in the lumbar portion of the carrier and perforated foam cushioning in the shoulder pads and hipbelt combine to offer increased support and comfort. A sliding, sternum strap and load-lifter straps further enhance fit and aid in load distribution.
A large pocket tucked underneath the Rumba Superlight's child seat provides a large storage location for diapers, clothes or gear. An elastic, mesh front pocket offers a quick and convenient space for stashing food or extra layers of clothing. The hipbelt even has a dedicated pocket for your cell phone. A detachable sunscreen/raincover is included to protect your child from glare, UV rays and precipitation.
Rumba Superlight is available in your choice of color options.
Colors available: Black, Palm, Rhubarb, Sea Mist

I loved the streamlined design and made for women in mind. The under seat storage is one of the best available. Quality fabric and having such a vast color choice is a rarity in this product type but that is right at the heart of every woman!
Dislikes:
I really wanted to use this pack but the non-folding kickstand was the ONLY problem! I kept hitting walls and doorways in my home while trying it on.
After trying out this model, Tough Traveler, and the Deuter III we went with the Deuter II in the end.

I love that this product is what is says, SUPERLIGHT. My daughter started using this pack at 8 months old, and I plan to use it as long as I can, She loves it, we do all sorts of things with it other than just hike. She helps me clean out horse pens, we've gone to many festivals and she's been content, and I don't have to worry about running someone over with a stroller. Plus the added fitness benefit is unmatched.
Dislikes:
More color selection would be nice, maybe a more female color. Although I don't see my husband carrying her in a pink or purple pack.
