MINIMEIS G4 Shoulder Carrier

Product Information

Gemma tested the carrier on a walk along the Thames and stopped a number of times to let her son walk around.

The drop in comfort and finicky sizing adjustments are what hurt the Clevrplus Cross Country on our list. We’ve found the Ergobaby to be a nice complement to a true child carrier, but it’s not the single answer for most hiking families. There are two Pocos to choose from, but we prefer the high-end Plus for its more adjustable hipbelt and increased storage.I didn’t find trying to wear an additional rucksack stuffed with water, sandwiches and baby nonsense very comfortable. My son weighs over 13kg and I don't think I'd be able to carry him in the MiniMeis for hours on end, but it's on a par with other carriers I've tried for children of this age. The padded hipbelt and shoulder straps are noticeably cheaper than our top-rated models, and the pack isn’t comfortable on anything more than a short hike. Osprey and Deuter go head-to-head in the child carrier market, and Osprey released an answer to the Kid Comfort Active below with their Poco LT. None of the packs listed above come with a dedicated rain cover—although all of the sunshades will provide a degree of protection against rain—but Osprey, Thule, and Deuter do offer separate covers for purchase.

Olivia looked extremely happy and well supported while in it and I was very pleased Olivia was correctly positioned throughout the duration of our walks. Thule is best known for their car rack systems, but they’ve made inroads in the pack market over the past few years. That said, the durable material used on the MiniMeis can withstand more weight than you’d comfortably want to carry – so it’s really up to you, the parents, how much weight you want distributed on your shoulders.Discover the MiniMeis shoulder carrier - while your child explores the world from their shoulders, it is secured by the innovative and patented MiniMeis carrying system. We also don’t love that the sunshade doesn’t offer very much protection along the sides, which can be a problem on windy days. Opt for a baby carrier backpack for a safe and efficient option which also provides numerous benefits for adventurous families who want to introduce their little explorer to the world. What immediately stuck out with the Journey is how well the child harness and interior compares to the more expensive models above.
