Mom Says: Whether you like to be outside, need your hands free, or just have a clingy child that wants to be on the go with you, a backpack is handy! I have tried a few different backpacks. Some felt like I was carrying a load of bricks on my back. The Kokopax is great because it is comfortable, lightweight, and safe for baby. It also fits in overhead airline bins, which is a great plus for those traveling with a small child! I think the Kokopax is great for everyday on the go activities.
I recommend this backpack for short walks and everyday on the go activities, but not for long hikes. My husband and I like to walk/hike on the trails at the local State Park. I have used a few other backpacks when hiking before. The Kokopax did alright. After the first few miles it became a little uncomfortable. My only big complaint is that it does not have a strap around the waist. I think this would make the backpack more secure and comfortable for mom or dad! Overall it is a great product!
Pros: Lightweight (weighs less than 3 lbs), safe, comfortable, stylish, easy to travel with.
Cons: Pricey, not designed for hiking or strenuous exercise.

I bought a Kokopax and I’m pretty disappointed because the frame pokes me in the butt!! Maybe my butt is bigger than average…but geez, in all the promo pics I see, the carrier rides very high on the back…not so high with me. I’m totally bummed at spending so much on something I was convinced would work.

Did you try adjusting the frame? (I am the mom that reviewed the Kokopax for New Parent.com)… if you look at the frame the actual pad moves up and down. There are two knobs that you pull out and then you can move the pad that rests on your back up or down to adjust for different heights. Also try opullling the straps tighter. I am not sure if this is what you are referring to or if this helps, but I hope it does. I have only seen the Kokopax online, but it would be nice to be able to try them on in a store before spending alot of money on them!
