Kokopax Child Carrier Product Review

By Divina

Babyboy has always been a jet setter.  At three months he boarded a plane for the first time for a wedding in Texas. At nine months he went on a trip to South America. At 13 months we left for a California trip and at 20 months a trip to Puerto Rico.  If you look at a map all these trips are well over 3 hours not counting the waiting and getting to the airport.

This was all possible because his parents love to travel and had a great baby carrier, unfortunately most carriers have a maximum weight of 25 pounds.  It was a sad day when he outgrew his Baby Bjorn .

So when Eddy and I started planning for the big California trip in July I knew I had to get another child carrier for the trip and my sanity. Babyboy hates strollers so picking him up or making him walk are the only two options. Again, I need to keep as much of my sanity for the next baby.

I had limited options because of Babyboy’s weight (27 lbs) but when we got a chance to review the Kokopax classic carrier I was thrilled.

The facts:

• made with 100% cotton canvas
• anodized aluminum frame
• comfortable shoulder straps
• handy storage pocket
• 5-pt. safety harness
• ties to secure pax protector^TM
• toy ring to attach koko^TM or other toys
• weighs approximately 2.7 lbs.
• for use from 6 months to 2 years (or up to 35 pounds)
• makes a great every day baby backpack

The Positives:

• Babyboy is up so high and does not miss anything! He loves being tall and he is so comfortable!
• My hands are free for whatever. Groceries, walking the pups etc.
• Very light weight.
• Fun color patterns to match your style.
• So easy to put Babyboy in and out we that even on the run Eddy and I are able to swap Babyboy.
• I love the design that has Babyboy off my back, so on super hot days I not sweating from body heat.
• Made for long walks or quick errands.

The Negatives:

• $149.99 for one of these fantastic little carriers, but your baby will only use it from 6 months to 2 years or up to 35 pounds. As far as I am concerned it’s worth it, but other parents may be a bit more price conscious.
• Fits in most airplane overheads BUT depending on the airline may count as one of your carry-ons. YUP bummer!
• I have not found an easy way to clean. Cloth is 100% cotton but does not pull apart from carrier structure.
• Babyboy does not want to fall asleep in the carrier. I think he is over stimulated with the world.

Big hit in the Dancinghotdogs family and will keep us traveling for several more months.

Kokopax has two other designs Eco- Classic and City Carrier that are different in price and design so it fit your lifestyle.  I would highly recommend you check it out.

Disclaimer: I received a Kokopax classic carrier for my review. My post is my unbiased opinion on the product.
