The frame hinges between the backsystem and the child’s seat, which is great when I want to fold it down and pop it in the car but it also makes it feel flimsier when out and about.

I had looked into getting one second-hand, and it struck me that lots of second-hand options looked barely used. LittleLife Freedom S4 Child Carrier The LittleLife Freedom S4 is an excellent hiking carrier with a perfect system, which is a pleasure. That said, I found the large back pocket tricky to reach when I had the carrier on my back, so I needed my husband’s help here. With the pivoting hip belt, lumbar support and clever ventilation, it is definitely up there in the comfortable to wear stakes.The LittleLife Freedom Child Carrier is a great child carrier with plenty of storage and some well thought through features with parents in mind. A sturdier, heavier frame can offer more structure and support for both child and parent and this seems to be the case here.

Our children are always happy to go up in the Freedom S4, sometimes even just for fun at home, and I take that as a good sign that they find it comfortable. We live in the countryside and often visit family in Cornwall so it really has stood the test in terms of off-road use and durability. The Cross Country S4 is one of their pricier offerings, though their Freedom S4 and the premium Voyager S5 carriers will set you back more.
