Husband carrying our 16-month-old in the LittleLife Cross Country S4 on a nature walk How we tested the LittleLife Cross Country S4 We also own a Deuter Kid Comfort Active SL, and I’ve written a comparison of the two carriers if that would be helpful to you. Why did we choose the LittleLife Freedom S4? Anatomically shaped child seat and soft face protection pad which is removable and washable (very sensible) You can wipe the fabric with a wet cloth. The face pad is detachable and washable – and it’s great, because that’s what gets the most disgusting, especially after your kid eats anything while being carried. Is it easy to store?A rear view mirror that's on a cord. I found this very useful for seeing what was going on. A useful visual distraction for them as well. We were able to try this carrier out with both the LittleLife sunshade and rain cover, and transported it in the car boot of our small Ford Fiesta for days out.

Despite parental comfort, we’d have decided to return this carrier if Tomi couldn’t sleep in it. A baby and even a toddler need day time nap, so full day hikes would work only with a carrier where our kid could sleep. But our LittleLife Freedom S4 passed the test on the very first hike and ever since. You’ll find two sturdy grab handles at the top of the carrier, which are invaluable for helping you pull the carrier onto your shoulders once your baby or toddler is securely positioned in the seat. To make your child more comfortable, it has an adjustable head rest and a built-in easy-pull sun shade. We bought our LittleLife Freedom child carrier when Tomi was 7 months old. We had a mei tai before that we loved very much, but we kind of grew it out by the seventh month. Tomi didn’t enjoy being tied so tightly to our bodies anymore, and we looked for a baby carrier that would give him protection from the elements on high mountain trails (think being exposed to the sun and the chilly winds on mountain ridges or getting caught by a thunderstorm). It sits midway in terms of weight, so isn’t the lightest option in the LittleLife catalogue, but alongside the Freedom S4 and Voyager S5, it allows for a greater adult fit (from 5’2” to 6’4”) and comes with more accessories, including the stirrups, sun shade and rear view mirror.

About GO Outdoors

As for the child seat, my daughter was comfortable and relaxed in the carrier the entire ride but found it more comfortable to hold onto the shoulder stabiliser straps than to leave her arms dangling. She rested her head against the drool pad on a number of occasions, but didn’t actually fall asleep in the carrier (although given time, I think she would have). The foot stirrups offered some support, although her feet did slip out a couple of times. What's the LittleLife Cross Country S4 like to use day-to-day? It must be comfortable for my son as he fell asleep half way through the walk", KJonah, Simply Hike customer Details Attribute While I would have liked to see this carrier available in the blue colourway seen on other LittleLife carriers to give buyers more than one colour option, the overall design is in a neutral grey that will appeal to most families.
