By AndreaM on Jun 15, 2010 in July 1 - July 14, Kelty: Child Carrier Frame, featured

I am so excited to be working with Kelty again! Back in January I was fortunate enough to be able to review Kelty’s Speedster Swivel Deluxe Stroller (click here to read full review) and is has become my go-to stroller. When I contacted Kelty explaining about our blog anniversary they generously offered a really great item for 2 lucky winners (the winner from this post and the grand prize winner)- the FC 3.0 Frame Child Carrier:

For avid backpackers and hikers, the Kelty FC 3.0 Frame child carrier is a must-have for year-round family adventures.

Auto-deploy kickstand is internally spring-loaded (no bungees) for smooth deployment and retraction; no-pinch hinges help keep little fingers safe
5-point, adjustable harness system is anchored directly to frame and features an easy-to-use central tensioning system similar to car seats
Curved, molded foam shoulder straps with load-lifter straps, sternum strap and 2-layer contoured padded hipbelt evenly distribute load
Padded, molded back panel with sliding torso-length adjustment allows easy fitting changes between short and tall parents
Padded, removable and washable cockpit offers a reclined position, allowing child to sit naturally and comfortably
Double-hook seat height adjustment is fast and easy to change
Included sun/rain hood protects your little one from the elements and also helps guard against unruly bushes and branches
Removable diaper pack with shoulder strap lets you bring along toys and essentials
Under-seat storage compartment accommodates more diapers, toys, snacks and change of clothes—enough for a day’s outing
Includes changing pad for those unexpected diaper changes while on the go
The Kelty FC 3.0 Frame child carrier also features hipbelt storage pockets for small essentials for mom and dad and toy loop attachment points for the little one
3M reflective tape accents provides 360° of visibility
Manufacturer recommends a maximum weight limit of 50 lbs. for child and gear
Made from durable 600-denier polyester and brushed nylon

Requirements for your child:

Your child must be capable of holding their head upright and sitting up by themselves. Usually a child older than 6 months is able to do this. It is a good idea to ask your pediatrician if they think your child is ready to ride in a child carrier.

Retails for $249.95.
I’m telling you if my 2 year old wasn’t the chunker that he is I would be all over this child carrier. Speaking from experience I can tell you that Kelty’s products are high quality, durable, and a true pleasure to use. I would recommend the Kelty brand to any parent I meet.
Win it:I have great news for you because one lucky MommyPR reader is going to win their own Kelty FC 3.0 Frame Child Carrier (retail value $249.95)
Grand Prize Winner: Thanks to our generous friend at Kelty, our anniversary party grand prize winner will also win a Kelty FC 3.0 Frame Child Carrier! (see grand prize post to enter)
