Choosing you backpack

The Trail Magik cannot be worn on its own. The Trail Magik Kid Carrier is an attachment that is designed to clip onto a 30 Liter or greater hiking backpack with a robust hipbelt & “load lifter” webbing on the shoulder straps. Our customers use their Trail Magiks with a variety of brands and types of backpacks; however a robust hip belt and “load lifter” webbing on the shoulder straps is required.

Helpful tips and tricks

Important: At least one strap must be buckled before starting to load a child into the Trail Magik Kid Carrier.

Before loading a child: 

• Confirm the adult’s hipbelt is snug and sitting higher on their waist, not loose and low on the hips.
• Loosen the “load lifters” on the shoulder straps a bit so the pressure is not directly on your shoulders.

Child fit tips:

• Knees and legs are above their bottom, in a chair-like position.
• Body should be centered upright and not leaning to any side.
• Face should be “close enough to kiss” the adult they’re riding with.
• Arms can be tucked inside or rest out beyond the straps, depending on your kid’s height and preference

WARNING

• This product is not for children under 12 months. Children need to be able to fully hold their head up, and their airways should be visible at all times.
• Make sure the child does not curl into a position with the chin resting on or near the child’s chest. This position can interfere with breathing, even when nothing is covering the nose or mouth.
