Piggyback Rider SCOUT model – Child Toddler Carrier Backpack for Hiking Trails, Camping, Fitness Travel (Black)
The Award Winning Piggyback Rider FAQ’s:
What is the weight limit and suggested age use?
The Piggyback Rider has a weight capacity of 50 lbs. and is ideal for children 2-4 years old. We recommend an upper limit of 6 years old. If your child can walk up and down stairs unaided, then your child is ready for the rider
What if the child’s foot slips off the bar, lets go of the handles, or tries to jump off?
Wearing shoes aides with traction on the standing bar lined with grip tape. If a child lifts one foot, this shift in weight will be noticed by the adult, who can help reset the child’s foot. The harness (secured around the child’s back and under the arms) will support the child in the unlikely event that both feet slip off at the same time. In addition, there are 2 hand holds on the carrier to aide in holding on. Most children can easily balance on the rider without using the hand holds as they’re secured by the safety harness and their legs. We suggest developing a communication strategy with your child to discuss when it is safe to get on and off the rider
Does the carrier meet consumer product safety regulations?
The Piggyback Rider® has met or exceeded all required consumer product regulations for the USA, Canada, EU, Australia and New Zealand.
Does the carrier put pressure on the adult’s back when in use?
No. The child’s weight pushes the bar straight down towards the ground rather than at an angle allowing for a comfortable ride.
How does a child get on/off the rider?
We recommend an easy four-step process: 1. Secure child harness, 2. Connect child harness to carrier, 3. Squat down and allow child to mount the bar, 4. Stand up slowly. To dismount, reverse the steps.

Amazing product. I love it. But….. This is a great product, my kid loves to use it. However, there is a major design flaw that I think can be easily implemented in a 2.0 version of this product. Currently the weight of your child is transferred to your shoulders and carried by your back. The resolution is two parts. First, pad the shoulder straps better. Second, add a waist buckle like a backpacking pack and sew the straps coming up from the foot bar to the waist straps rather than the shoulder or to both waist and shoulder. I…
Really wanted to love this… We wanted to give this a try before an trip to Disney World. The idea seemed great and I was excited for the purchase to arrive. After reading many reviews we also purchased the waist belt attachment as our child was on the higher end of suggested weight range (20-50 lbs, our child 40). Without the belt, I couldn’t comfortably carry my daughter for anything more than the shortest spurts (despite years of backpacking experience). With the belt velcro attached to bar, there wasn’t enough…
Excellent product
