MINIMEIS G4 Shoulder Carrier

Product Information

We’re also happy to see that Osprey didn’t trim away key features like generous storage (21 liters total), hydration reservoir compatibility, and a deployable sunshade. The Sapling is their second effort at a child carrier, and the latest version targets top-of-the-line options from Deuter, Osprey, and Kelty. I learned this the hard way as I walked into a branch forgetting my daughter was up on my shoulders. 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. In this way you will have no pressure over the chest area, whilst the MiniMeis will still sit tight and secure to your torso.

The child sits higher in MiniMeis than in a regular hiking baby carrier, which opens the possibility to hit the parent on their head, pulling ears, and doing other crazy things toddlers do. In these moments it’s not uncommon for my child to end up on my shoulders as a way to avoid a meltdown. This is where the MiniMeis trumps a lot of other carriers in that all the main straps are easy to reach and adjust.If you would like to rent this item but have queries prior to reservation payment, please ping us using the

Being on a parent’s shoulders is something of a rite of passage for small children – it’s something they love doing and will always remember, not least because of the view they get: it’s like being on top of the world for a little one. Our collection of baby carriers include practical baby slings and wraps for a quick and secure solution.But once I was confident he was in the right place and nicely supported by the waist and foot straps, it was great.
