There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I compared the Sapling versus the Osprey Poco AG Premium based on reviews and then a visual inspection at an L.L. Bean store. After my inspection and the reviews I decided on the Thule Sapling Elite. This pack is expensive but is probably one of my greatest purchases. I love it and my son does too.
I also tried the Phil and Ted, Kelty 2.0, Osprey Poco Plus, and one other at REI. This was the winner BY FAR, in my opinion.
Both packs are highly and easily adjustable to fit the adult and the kid. I don’t think there is much difference there. I also find them both to be comfortable for hour long hikes. I’m sure they would be comfortable beyond that, but an hour is about as long as my kids are happy in the carrier. As a result, it comes down to personal preference regarding the features.
The Thule has a number of features that I like over the Osprey. The main storage compartment on the Thule is always usable no matter the position of the stand. On the Osprey, folding the stand in collapses that storage space. Next, I like the side loading option. My 3 year old can get in mostly by himself. He needs a some help getting out, but it is easier than lifting him up and loading him from the top. Also, I like the storage on this pack, especially the zippered pockets on the hip belt. I don’t know why Osprey didn’t include that, but the zippered storage is much more secure than the elastic mesh pocket on the Osprey. Thule also provides a mirror, which is handy to check on my passenger.
There are only a few downsides to the Thule compared to the Osprey. One is that I cannot fold the stand while the pack is on my back. Maybe the hinge will loosen up over time, but it is really hard to fully extend or fold the stand and I needed another person’s help. Another area I prefer the Osprey is the sunshade. I think the Osprey’s is easier to set up and put away. I feel like I’m going to break the Thule’s sun shade when I am stowing it. Last, I personally prefer wider and more thickly padded shoulder straps. I found both versions comfortable for an hour or so, but if I were to go on longer, multi-hour hikes, I would likely go with the Osprey. However, o don’t think you can go wrong with either the one.

Per capirsi il peso del bambino si sente, non fa miracoli...i 16kg di mia figlia pesano e ti sfiniscono...ma averli comodamente ben distribuiti e senza parti del tuo corpo sotto sforzo intenso, è una goduria. Oggi dopo 10km in montagna mi sono tolto lo zaino e per magia nessun dolore. Fantastico.
Non serve dire che la fattura è eccezionale. Thule è una garanzia.
It's held up well - been on a few flights, hoisted up and down etc.. not cheap but a really well made piece of kit that we've had plenty of use from.
The elite bit gives you the rucksack on the front, never taken it off, but it does give you more storage which we frequently use, as others have noted it's comfortable for both the carrier and the child, no rubbing etc.
What you need to add is a tiny pillow for when he/she falls asleep.
