The Patapum Toddler Carrier is a comfortable and affordable soft pack style carrier which is specifically designed for carrying heavy toddlers and older children. Suitable from around 18 months of age this carrier can be used up to a weight of 40lb or more.
The upper weight limit for this carrier should be determined by the comfort of the person wearing it. It is safety tested to over 60lb but most parents find that it isn't comfortable to carry a child who is much over 40lb for long periods of time.
Similar to the Patapum Baby Carrier this carrier has well padded straps and a wide waist belt to distribute the weight effectively.
It is designed for use on the back and comes with a detachable cotton mesh sleep hood to support the head of a sleeping child. This can be rolled up and secured with two elastic loops when not in use.
The cut of this carrier is larger so an older and taller child will be well supported with the fabric coming high up their back.
This is an ideal next step up for people who are finding their baby carrier no longer comes high enough for an older toddler to feel secure.
The shoulder straps are attached to the waist band rather than to the body of the carrier (like it is on the Baby Carrier), this means that the weight is distributed onto your hips very effectively. There is an extra side strap going from the body of the carrier to the shoulder straps to keep your toddler centred in the carrier.
The Patapum Carrier is machine washable if necessary although generally spot cleaning is recommend rather than regular machine washing. The design is simple and and is very unisex so this carrier often appeals to the fathers!
The latest version of the Patapum Carrier comes with a detachable sleep hood made of soft cotton mesh, which snaps onto the body of the carrier and can be used to support the head of a sleeping child. The sleep hood can be rolled up and tucked through two elastic loops when not in use.
Another handy new feature of the latest version of the Patapum Carrier is that the carrier can be rolled up and secured to the waist band with a row of poppers, so it can be worn around your waist a bit like a bum bag when not in use. This is ideal if you are using it with an independent toddler who likes to do a fair bit of walking.
Patapum sizing
The Patapum Toddler Carrier only comes in one size which will fit most people as the waist and shoulder straps are very adjustable.
The waist strap is now fully adjustable to fit a maxium waist of 55 inches, eliminating the need for an extension strap.
If you are small waisted the straps can be rolled up and secured by an elastic loop so you won't have long ends hanging down.
Patapum Fabric Information
The main body of the carrier is 100% cotton, with polyester jersey on the inside of the waist and shoulder straps.
---------------------------
Extremely good value for a very comfortable and workhorse carrier.
Optional : you can add a Waist Pouch, sold separately which attaches onto the carrier body.
