I bought this backpack for my son to sit in when we went on our trip to Taiwan. There isn't always enough room to push a large stroller around, especially when you are hiking, so I figured this would be a good investment. I tried it out before going on the trip and found that the backpack was very comfortable even with my son in it - he was ~22 lbs. There is a bit of a problem getting it on my back by myself though. I needed someone else to slightly lift it off the ground for me to comfortably get into the shoulder straps and lift it up to standing position, but after that you tighten the shoulder and waist strap so that the backpack sits flush with your back and everything was comfortable.
The backpack is pretty comfortable for my son in the carry position and even the floor position as a chair. The only problem I saw is when my son fell asleep in the backpack carrier, there was no support for hit neck and head. If I didn't notice that he fell asleep, his head would fall to the side or forward and bend his neck in a painful looking position. We bought an adult neck pillow and fitted it between my son and the rails of the backpack when he slept to correct this problem.
Overall, this was a great product for my purpose and I know others will find it useful too especially if you know you are going some place where a stroller just isn't going to work.
