The waist and hip belts have pivots that flex as you move your body. This means you can move around freely without being restricted by the heavy, rigid baby carrier.
Your baby is secured with shoulder straps that click into a central buckle between his legs to create a secure five-point harness. There are also side panels that you can tighten in place, protecting your baby from any possible bumps and falls.
A high, padded headrest provides better neck support which allows your child to lay back, rest and even take a nap. It also protects your baby's head in case you fall backward.
The Poco AG Plus has a very large storage capacity- 26 liters. The generously-sized main storage compartment is located under the cockpit and another storage similar to a backpack is located at the rear of the carrier. It has zipped belt pockets and mesh side pockets spread throughout the carrier, maximizing storage and accessibility.
It is equipped with an SPF50 sunshade that provides your child’s head and upper body excellent coverage from the elements. You can take this carrier out in any weather.
The Poco AG Plus has a butterfly harness to keep your child extra safe. It can be adjusted for a snug and comfortable fit to keep the torso movement of your child to a minimum, helping you to maintain a more stable stride while still allowing your child to enjoy the ride and not feel trapped.
Unlike the Deuter carriers, the backrest on this carrier only goes up to the neck of most children 2 years old and above. There's no place to rest their head on or a cushion to protect their heads from falls.
This carrier comes with a load stabilizer, allowing you to adjust the backpack's center of gravity. You can do this by pulling the webbings near the shoulder straps, which also pulls your child closer. As a result, your child feels lighter and it's more comfortable to carry him.
The Thule carriers are known for their sleek and modern design. It doesn't look as bulky as the carriers from other brands even though it provides the same weight and storage capacity.
Most baby carrier kickstands are a part of the main storage compartment. The Thule's kickstand, however, is separated from the rest of the pack, making it easy to close at all times, even when the storage compartment is full.
The child shoulder straps are a bit flimsy and do not have sufficient padding for a comfortable ride. If your child is only wearing light, loose-fitting clothes, these straps will definitely dig into your child's skin.
