ColourBlack

A child carrier backpack with an innovative, machine washable child seat that provides complete leg support to maximise comfort on any adventure.

A child carrier that gives you the freedom to move
An innovative child seat to maximise comfort
Comfort is key when you are out with your kids, so we have created one of the most comfortable backpacks on the market. We call our unique child seat system ErgoRide, it provides complete support underneath the child’s legs to disperse their weight. The result? Longer hikes in comfort and no need for the stirrups that are used on most carriers. Compared to stirrups, our child seat ensures your child's legs are supported even when they kick or move around.

Easy to wear, easy to use
The lightweight Thule Sapling is super comfortable for parents to wear on long hikes, too. The fully adjustable torso and hip belt provide a perfect fit and the carrier is easy to switch between parents on your trip. Also, the opening of the side panel makes it easy to get a squirming child in and out of the carrier. The convenient side zips let you easily access the 22L gear compartment while wearing the pack.

A unique child seat for maximum comfort
The ventilated sitting area keeps your child cool and the innovative ErgoRide child seat provides complete under-leg support for maximum comfort on long trips without the need for the stirrups used on traditional carriers

Comfy and easy to use for the parents
Fully adjustable torso and hip belt provide a perfect fit, a comfortable carry and quick transition from parent to parent

Easy to clean
Fully removable, machine washable ErgoRide child seat and drool pad for easy clean up

Dual access lets you load your child from the top or the side panel opening

Ample sunshade

FAQ

ISOFIX or Seatbelt

ISOFIX and seat belts are two vital elements when it comes to children's car seats. Both keep the car seat secure.

In terms of safety during impact, there is no difference between ISOFIX and belt attachment, as long as they are both installed correctly - they are as safe as each other.

Weight limit or height limit first?

Car seats that have a weight limit and a height limit are outgrown as soon as your child meets one of those limits. e.g. an infant carrier might have a 13kg weight limit and an 86cm height limit, the seat would be outgrown as soon as the child was 86cm even if they were only 11kg.

What is the Swedish Plus Test?

The Swedish Plus Test is the toughest crash test in the world! The Plus Test is a voluntary additional crash test that car seat manufacturers can apply for. Plus tested car seats ensure that your child is not exposed to life-threatening neck forces during a collision. Find out more about the Swedish Plus Test here.

Can you help me install the car seat?

Every car seat purchase includes either installation at Fakenham or remote support to ensure a safe install.
