Story A carrier that’s comfortable for parent and child Made for the long haul, The Thule Sapling Baby Backpack maximizes comfort for both the wearer and the worn. An ErgoRide seat system provides complete support beneath the child's legs to disperse weight while a UPF-50 sun shade protects your kiddo from the elements. Both easy to wear and easy to use, the Thule Sapling is super lightweight and ventilated. The side panel opens to provide fast access in case of the inevitable mid-hike tantrum and the fully adjustable torso and hip belt provides a quick and easy transition from parent to parent. It’s also machine washable so any evidence of cookie bribery for an extra mile will come out in the wash.
