Deuter’s flagship framed hiking carrier, built around the radical idea that the child should be more comfortable than the parent. A ventilated Aircomfort back, an integrated sun canopy and a detachable 10 L daypack make it superb on the trail, where toddlers reliably fall asleep in the plush cockpit. Honest about the cost: at 3.55 kg empty and around €440 it is heavy, bulky, not suitcase-portable and capped at an 18 kg child. For families who keep hiking past the stroller years, not for town errands or airport transit.
