Osprey announced that the Osprey Poco Plus child carrier received REI Co-op Editors’ Choice Award in the kid carrier category.
The award is given to products that a set of rigorous field tests conducted by REI Co-op staff and members. Factors such as how a product is made, its impact on the environment and REI member and customer feedback are also considered.
“Thanks to a smooth-riding suspension and ample gear storage, the Osprey Poco Plus is a workhorse of a kid carrier for epic adventures,” said REI Co-op editors.
The kid carrier test was conducted with more than a dozen testers, over 79 hours, and across three states. Testers noted that the Poco Plus tensioned back panel “fits comfortably and breathes well while the hipbelt supports heavy loads with ease.”
Additionally, “With 26 liters of gear storage, the Poco Plus can easily handle bonus gear on long hauls” while the built-in sunshade “tucks away in a small pocket but easily deploys with small tabs to protect your baby from sun rays or light precip.”
“We are honored to receive the inaugural REI Co-op Editors’ Choice Award,” said Rob BonDurant, VP of marketing, Osprey. “As a brand, we’re fully committed to inspiring the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts and stewards, from toddlers to summer campers. Carrying a child on your back in Poco Plus, a supportive and comfortable carrier, allows you and your child to have a shared point of view while giving you the freedom and mobility to enjoy those adventures together.”
