Why Choose Kelty Child Carriers?
Safety First, Always Kelty child carriers meet rigorous international safety standards with five-point harnesses, adjustable restraints, and protective features that keep your child secure. Built-in sunshades and rain covers protect little ones from Australian sun and weather.

Grow with Your Family Adjustable systems accommodate growing children and different-sized parents. Multiple family members can share the same carrier with quick adjustments, maximizing your investment as your family adventures evolve.
Kelty Child Carrier Features
Advanced Carrying Systems Kelty's ergonomic harness and hip belt systems provide exceptional comfort and weight distribution. Padded shoulder straps, ventilated back panels, and adjustable torso lengths ensure proper fit for parents of all sizes.
Child Comfort & Safety Padded seats, adjustable footrests, and supportive designs keep children comfortable during extended hikes. Five-point safety harnesses with padding ensure security without discomfort. Built-in sunshades protect from harsh Australian sun.
Practical Storage Generous storage pockets, hydration compatibility, and gear organization keep essentials accessible. Carry water, snacks, diapers, and supplies for full-day family adventures without additional bags.
Easy Loading & Unloading Integrated kickstands allow carriers to stand independently for easy child loading. No need for a second person to help—parents can safely load children solo before hitting the trail.
Weather Protection Removable sunshades and available rain covers protect children from Australian weather conditions. Keep little ones comfortable in sun, wind, and unexpected weather changes.
Compact Storage Carriers fold for efficient storage and transport when not in use. Fit in car boots, closets, and storage areas without dominating space.

Weight Capacity Most Kelty child carriers accommodate children up to 22kg (48.5 lbs), providing years of use as your child grows. Always check specific model specifications for exact capacities.
