Lil' Bubba's Verdict
From parents who've clocked serious miles with the pushchair
The Osprey Poco AG Premium is a top-of-the-line child carrier backpack that stands out for its wealth of premium features and exceptional comfort for both parent and child. While the high price tag may give some pause, parents agree that the quality and thoughtful design make it well worth the investment for longer hikes and adventures.
What Parents Love
- •Packed with Features: The carrier includes a removable sunshade/rain cover, integrated mirror, 11-litre daypack, and more, providing excellent versatility and convenience.
- •Comfort and Adjustability: Parents praise the Airflow mesh system, adjustable child harness, seat, and foot stirrups, allowing for a customised and comfortable fit for both wearer and passenger.
- •Smooth Ride: The advanced suspension system and padded shoulder straps create a remarkably smooth and stable ride, even on uneven terrain, making it ideal for longer hikes.
- •Thoughtful Design: Clever features like the fold-away design, removable and washable drool pad, and emergency whistle on the sternum strap demonstrate the Osprey's attention to detail.
- •Easy Assembly: Parents report the Poco AG Premium is very straightforward to set up and adjust, with clear instructions and online resources available if needed.
Things to Consider
- •Weight: At 4.1kg, the carrier is on the heavier side, which some parents noted could be tiring on longer treks.
- •Water Reservoir Cost: The optional water reservoir is an additional cost that parents felt should be included at the premium price point.
- •Bulky Fold: While the fold-away design is convenient, a few parents mentioned the carrier can still be quite bulky when collapsed, making storage a bit challenging.
Best For
- Parents who enjoy hiking and exploring the outdoors with their little ones
- Families looking for a high-quality, feature-rich child carrier for longer adventures
- Those willing to invest in a premium product that prioritises comfort and versatility
Not Ideal For
- Parents with limited storage space or small car boots, as the Poco AG Premium may be too large when folded
- Families on a tight budget who may find the £320 RRP too steep
- Those who primarily need a carrier for short, casual walks rather than extended hikes
Pro Tips from Parents
Take the time to properly adjust the carrier to your and your child's measurements for maximum comfort and support.
Consider purchasing the optional water reservoir to stay hydrated on longer treks.
Utilise the included daypack and other storage compartments to keep essentials close at hand.
Remove and wash the drool pad regularly to keep the carrier fresh and clean.
