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!

Great Product
We have a special needs child that is now 55lbs and too big for most backpack carriers. We were amazed that he actually wanted to get in the freeloader. It worked great - we used it hiking all over Yellowstone which we never would have been able to do without it. There are plenty of adjustments to get it fitting just right and it is very well made. It holds the child securely as long as you adjust and tighten the midstrap across the childs sholder straps. I would definitely recommend the freeloader to anyone needing a high quality backpack carrier.

United StatesLoved it, it's a lifesaver, got to use it once and my older kids lost it at the Denver Airport!!!
We have a 60# 4 year old and were a little skeptical, but this carrier definitely did the job! We hiked up Glacier Point to Avalance Lake this carrier was a amazing! Our 4 year old never takes a nap, but was so worn out from all the walking she did that she even fell asleep in it! Worth every penny!!! On the down side, one of my older children forgot to grab the freeloader sometime after we went through security and right before we got on our plane. So unfortunately lost and found has still not found it and some else is probably enjoying now!

United StatesIt gets the job done.
I like the back pack. It definently helped with lugging along our very large (48lb) 3 year old up many steep trail parts in Norway. As advertised it's not ment for long term use, but it gets the job done, and the back pack itself is small and casual looking to wear on it's own. The only downfall are the straps. I felt that my son was completely secure but he could easily slip his arms out which could have been bad if he got fussy. Also, the straps did not look or feel comfortable to him. I think if they had more curvature around the neck and a supportive back!! for the child, it would be perfect. All in all good on the go back pack. Pricey, but they all are.

feedback from Australia
So far the experience using the freeloader has been great. However, the straps for the person carrying the harness are at the maximum length and perhaps it would've been better to order the slightly larger one to allow for more adjustment. Other than that, it's a joy to see my kid being enjoying the outdoors.

Game changer for our hikes!
This backpack has been awesome! I love the simplicity for my 4 year old to climb on and off on her own. The child restraint straps have been great for when I do steeper inclines and want to make sure that her center of gravity isn't fighting mine. The build quality is solid. There are only two things that I would like to see in an updated version. 1) A slightly contoured shoulder strap to sit a little wider on my shoulders, it can start to dig into the lower neck along the traps a little bit. 2) Some sort of clasp to hold the seat in the upright position when nobody is sitting in it. It doesn't seem to want to stay up and so when I am turning around I have caught a few things with the seat. Other than that, this has been amazing! Thanks for the awesome product!
