Q. How comfortable is it for long hikes or all-day outings?
A. The Freeloader is built with ergonomic back and shoulder support for adults and padded seating for the child. It's comfortable for several hours of use, though for full-day treks, breaks are recommended.
Q. Does it hurt the back after extended use?
A. Unlike soft carriers, The Freeloader has a built-in aluminum frame and hip belt, which helps distribute the child�s weight more evenly across the torso and hips, reducing pressure on your back. Proper adjustment is key for comfort.
Q. Can I use this with a 2-year-old or is it only for bigger kids?
A. The Freeloader is best for kids 2.5 years and older who can sit upright unassisted. It�s ideal for children from 25 lbs to 80 lbs in weight.
Q. Is the seat adjustable for shorter or longer-legged kids?
A. While the seat height is fixed for posture support, the foot stirrups and shoulder harness can be adjusted for different child leg lengths and torso sizes.
Q. Is it washable or easy to clean if my child spills something?
A. Yes. The seat materials are wipeable and water-resistant, and straps can be spot-cleaned. It�s designed for real-life messes!
