Our Review of the Kelty TC 2.1 Carrier baby backpack
The new Kelty Transit Carrier (TC) 2.1 is an update of the Kelty TC 2.0 baby backpack, offering the same basic features as the 2.0 but with a narrower profile, new colors, more durable fabrics, and improved adjustment features for the shoulder harness. Great for bringing a child up to 40 lbs. along on daytrips, while you travel, or on short hikes, the affordable TC 2.1 is a comfortable and versatile Kelty baby carrier for everyday use.
Thanks to its light aluminum frame and collapsible cockpit, the Transit Carrier 2.1 doubles as durable daypack for times when you need a pack but not a carrier.
BENEFITS FOR PARENTS
By keeping your child close (and your arms free) in a Kelty Transit Carrier while exploring a new city, hitting the trails, or just walking to the grocery store, your child shares the experience from the same perspective - not at knee height in a stroller. For you, the ease with which you can put on and adjust this comfortable framed back carrier is hard to match. And should you head out without your child, the cockpit cinches shut to serve as a durable Kelty backpack.
Comfort & Convenience Features
Equipped with a padded and curved waistbelt and shoulder straps with multiple adjustment points, the comfortable harness of the Kelty TC 2.1 fits the way you want it to. In a functional improvement over the TC 2.0, the Transit Carrier 2.1 features a sliding torso adjustment system that allows you to get the best possible balance and fit. The TC 2.1 is easy to get on and off, and the zip-off diaper bag makes time away from home with your child that much easier.
BENEFITS FOR BABE
Kelty backpack carriers offer a distinct advantage over strollers by keeping your child close and by providing a raised perspective on the world around. The well-padded cockpit is equipped with a 5-point harness and made of breathable fabrics. Securely seated in the comfortable cockpit seat of the Kelty TC 2.1, your child will be close and content, viewing the world around just as you do.
Safety:
- 5-point adjustable harness
- Load lift straps for easy ons and offs
