  • Evenflo Hiker: The closest you can get to having a Koala!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 9, 2000
    Pros: Light-weight, durable, secure for babies, time and effort saver, many uses.
    Cons: No sun visor, baby can pull your hair

    Summary: The evenflo Hiker is perhaps the best products we have ever bought for our twins. Strollers are great, but sometimes you want a little more versatility when you are out and about. As first-time parents to recently born twin girls, we purchased these ... read more

    Dec 28, 2000
    Pros: light and cheap
    Cons: uncomfortable after prolonged use (more than 2 hours)

    Summary: This backpack is lightweight and easy to use. The kick stand makes it easy to get on and off with baby in it single handedly. The attached bag is impossible to reach when the pack is on. There's a toy strap that seems superfluous, but becomes ... read more

    Pros: Easily adjustable, lightweight
    Cons: none

    Summary: The main reason I was in the market for a carrier was so I would be able to do laundry in the basement of our apartment building during the day while my husband worked, instead of waiting so he could watch our son. I have had the Hiker Backpack for only ... read more

    Sep 24, 2000
    Pros: Easy to use and inexpensive
    Cons: Only comes in purple

    Summary: When my little boy went through his "hold me Mommy" stage I thought I would lose my mind! Till my husband came home with this pack. I can put him in it and carry him while I vacuum, cook, clean, walk, play, etc. He is happy and I am too! ... read more

    Jun 5, 2000
    Pros: Compact, comfortable, easy to use, very efficient and effective. Great low price!
    Cons: If baby's legs are long enough, he can use the base to try to push himself up and out.

    Summary: Add this to your "must have" list, it is wonderful! After looking at the different types of backpacks around, and pricing them, this backpack is the one to buy! This backpack may not be the most expensive model available, it may ... read more

    Pros: Sturdy frame, easy in & out, secures child well, child can see out clearly
    Cons: Make sure you secure the straps well and avoid quick bends

    Summary: This is one of those things you say you don't need. Then when you have one, you sigh, and say "WHY didn't I get this earlier???". A fantastic backpack, the Evenflo Hiker model is on the high-end for safety, child comfort, and parenting ... read more

    May 17, 2000
    Pros: mobility, stores easily, durable
    Cons: watch out for low overhangs and sunburn

    Summary: Little did I know, in my pre-child life, that "I need some freedom!" would one day translate to "Buy me a baby backpack!". When my third child came along, my second was still too young to be dependably cooperative. The day ... read more

    Apr 15, 2000
    Pros: comfortable,built in diaper bag,light weight, sturdy
    Cons: none

    Summary: I loved this back pack and I have used it for 2 children. Starting at age 6 months right up to age 2. And even though my little guy is 2 now I plan to use it all summer with him. Its comfortable and the fact that it holds your child in ... read more

  • Brought tears to my eyes!!

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 28, 2000
    Pros: light, easy to get on and off, like a portable high chair
    Cons: my son ALWAYS pulled my scalp and hair and kicked me

    Summary: Not because it's so great, because my son kept pulling my hair when I put him in it - not to mention all kicking my back and sides. We got one of these because my first son was a big boy - 9 pounds at birth, 20 pounds by less than 6 months. ... read more

  • Security and Versatility

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 25, 2000
    Pros: Lightweight and Balanced
    Cons: Minimal Storage

    Summary: If price is an issue, the Evenflo Hiker can't be beaten. There are lots of packs out there at twice the price with the same features, but why spend it if you don't have to? If you haven't used a pack like this and are thinking about it, go for it! It ... read more

    Pros: Convenient!
    Cons: None

    Summary: My mother in law got me my baby backpack carrier when I was pregnant with my second child. My first two children are 13 months apart, so my oldest was in no way ready to walk on his own when his sister was born. The baby backpack carrier was not only ... read more

    Pros: Baby likes to be up high, straps baby in, comes with sack for all your baby stuff.
    Cons: Kills your shoulders if you wear it for more than an hour.

    Summary: I purchased the Hiker because my husband and I and our son (8 months old at the time) were going on a hike. I also wanted the ability to put my son in something and have my hands free to work. I love the fact that the baby is strapped in ... read more

    Feb 15, 2000
    Pros: ease of use, lightweight, comfortable, inexpensive
    Cons: none

    Summary: My daughter loves to be held, there are no two ways about it. If she is fussy at all there is just no putting her on the floor to play. I obviously still have housework and various tasks to do and the Evenflo Hiker has been my savior! The ... read more

    Jan 30, 2000
    Pros: single person operation
    Cons: must have a strong upper back

    Summary: When I first bought my backpack, all I could think about, was how great it was not to have to constantly watch my child, while cleaning the house and cooking. We love the outdoors, and not being attached to a stroller all the time, it is such a ... read more
