Available in two versions: the "Kid Carrier" with standard padding, and the "Filly" with extra-thick, 1" padding in the (human) waistbelt, shoulder straps, and lower back area.  Select the "Kid Carrier" for medium usage and light hiking.  Select the "Filly" if you plan to do all-day hikes, if you hike on rough terrain, or if you prefer extra back padding in your technical backpack!
