QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
Hi Is the back strap/clip (on the child harness) adjustable to slide down to be positioned mid back/torso for example instead of up by the shoulders- I'm scared my child with low tone would "slump" out of it and fall off. Thanks
Yes - the back horizontal strap has the ability to slide up and down depending on the need and height of the child. Thanks for your question!

My son has cerebral palsy and is getting a bit heavy (~50 lbs) for riding on my shoulders. What are the "special needs discounts" your site says to ask about?
Please email us at contact@myfreeloader.com and we can discuss the discount!

What is the difference between the small medium and large?

It is comfy for my (almost) 4 y old and I can easily strap him and put him on my back on my own, when I have to travel without my partner. Unfortunately, it does not fit me completely and my son seems to be much heavier than when I carry him in his traditional baby carrier. It would be helpful to have someone online (with video) to assist with positioning correctly the carrier.

AustraliaA life saver!
The freeloader allows us to carry our 5yo (and freeing up our arms) after having major leg surgery. 5 months on we still use the carrier for mainly bushwalking because she just loves getting out into nature and her legs get so tired. So grateful for the freeloader!

United StatesThe only carrier on the market for larger kids.
We bought the carrier for a 2 week trip to several national parks. During the first week we hiked over 50 miles with a 40 pound kid in the carrier. We wouldn't have been to do all we did if it wasn't for the carrier. There are a few options I'd like added (water bladder storage, more storage in general) but otherwise it is a great product. It folds up easy for transport and the kids love riding in it.

United StatesMission Trip Blessing
Purchased to give to a young mother in Jamaica to assist with her 9 year old son with Muscular Dystrophy. She used to carry him on her back everywhere, but now with the Freeloader she is hands free. We gave it to her and her son said the first time strapped in, “My hands are free!” I witnessed him and his mother able to drink water as they walked home from the church one afternoon. She said this carrier has completely changed her life. Thank you so much and may God Bless you!

25 miles on the PCT
This carrier is a game changer. My wife and I always spent time hiking and camping before having kids. We have tried to keep going outdoors with the little monster running about but didn't think the equipment allowed for it. Then we found the Freeloader. It is comfortable and fits comfortably like my hiking pack. My wife and I are working our way down the PCT on the California section. We just pulled off a 25 mile, single day hike with our toddler, Cash. Which feels like an incredible accomplishment. I have emailed the company and am hoping they come out with a few more attachments in the near future. Best purchase of 2019 so far.
