Kelty 20010016 Review by C. Noland
This is a perfect carrier for child and stuff. We love the sun shade. As others stated, the backpack compartment is a big hole, so more dividers would be nice, but that doesn't take away from the great item. We used it in NYC for 4 days and our little one never had a complaint. She did fall asleep in it, and this sometimes made her head look uncomfortable, but she didn't complain.
Kelty 20010016 Review by Natalie Weichel (Austin, TX)
My husband and I selected this model for an early birthday present for him. We ordered the black color. Just and FYI... The model pictured is not what we received. The bag looks like the other colors except black, grey, and tan. This was not a big deal as I guessed that would happen. The deal breaker for this carrier (and the reason we had to return it) was its size. My husband is 6'3" and the fit of the carrier is too small for him. The chest clip in the front rests right under his neck. The torso adjustment also does not adjust to fit him properly. We tried every combination of adjustments and could not make it work.
The other thing he did not like is that this bag is designed for a lot of the weight to remain on your shoulders rather than your hips. What the description on Amazon does not say (that you can find on Kelty's website) is that this model is intended to be used for short trips like the farmer's market, short hikes, etc. If you want to do any extended trips, than this is not the right model.
In the end, my husband wants something that will fit him properly and take the weight off his shoulders like a camping backpack. We like Kelty products and found everything else about the carrier to be great. We decided in the end to return this and purchase the Kelty FC 3.0.
Kelty 20010016 Review by BH1
To start off, I was very happy with the Kelty TC 3.0 backpack. I read reviews and most of them were positive. Two gripes that people seemed to have were that the pack is uncomfortable and that the waist belt adjuster slips.
In using the pack I have found that while it's not the most comfortable, it is great for farmers markets, walking the streets, and casual use. The pockets are big enough to store what you need and the adjustments are pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
The problem that I had with this pack (and with a replacement that Kelty sent me) was with the waist belt adjustment. There is a pin that slides into specific holes on a verticle rail which is mounted on the lower front of the pack. This pin is not long enough. The end of the pin is rounded and what I found was that after any sort of wear on the aluminum rail (about a week of use for me with both packs) that pin will slip and the waist belt is now in the middle of your back.
Kelty told me that this is the first they heard about this. I mentioned that there were plenty of reviews on different sites detailing this problem. They then retracted and told me this is the first time they've heard of this happening without user error. I asked them what the common problems were and how I could remedy the situation but they didn't really have an answer other than, the pin isn't in all the way. The pin is spring loaded, it's either in or it's not. Just to be safe, I would double check the pin before every use but it didn't help.
They did send me a new pack and offered to upgrade me to another pack but all their child carrier packs use the same mechanism so I called Amazon and begged them to take the pack back even though it was past the return date. They obliged and I will now get something else.
Other issues that I've had are that if your child has curious hands then the sunshade is not staying on. The velcro is too tempting for little kids not to play with. The bottle holders will not hold a large water bottle because they're too shallow. These are minor gripes that might only take one star off, but they're worth mentioning because it's your money buying this item and you should know before you buy.
As an aside, some of the reviews that talk about the adjustment issue are no longer found on certain websites. Maybe a coincidence but I find it very odd that this is the case. The other thing was that after I told them the second pack did the same thing they wanted me to send the packs (the original and the replacement) back for a new one so their product designers could see them. They couldn't believe what I was saying could happen twice. After they were a week late in calling me back I told them that I didn't want a replacement and that Amazon would take the pack back. They no longer had any interest in the other pack. It didn't seem to me like they really wanted to review the problem.
