What is the Kid Comfort Pro?
The Kid Comfort Pro sits at the top of the tree in Deuter's lineup of Child Carriers. It features one of the most comfortable backsystems available and is loaded with pockets, adjustment options and safety features.
What is it made of?
The bag is made from a mix of two fabrics, Deuter MacroLite and Deuter Super Polytex. MacroLite is an ultra tough 420D/210D nylon designed to take the most abuse. Not only is this fabric tough as nails, but is coated with a durable water repellent, meaning light rain will simply bead off. Super Polytex is a 600D polyester with the same water resistant coating, however it's lighter and is used on areas which don't take as much abuse.
What is the backsystem?
The Kid Comfort uses Deuter's Aircomfort Sensic Vario backsystem to provide comfort, support and exceptional breathability for all day use. To achieve this level of breathability, Deuter have used a suspended mesh throughout the centre of the backpanel, meaning air is constantly circulating. As well as allowing air to circulate, it also prevents sharp objects jabbing you in the back when fully loaded. All of the contact points are layered in a thick foam for added comfort and mesh to grip securely to clothing. While we're on contact points, the hipbelt features a slit in the centre to allow the foam to mould over your hips securely and comfortably.
What are the features?
As we mentioned earlier, this pack is loaded with features! Starting at the top, you've got an integrated and quick to assemble sun roof for warmer outings and an included mirror so you can always keep an eye on your child. The seating area itself is lined with a mix of fabrics; a soft and airy fabric in the top and a robust and easily washable fabric in the foot area. The seat is height adjustable and has various cushion widths depending on age/size. The foot rests are also height and width adjustable for extra security. Moving down, two zipped pockets on each hip fin store items that you need quick to hand, while an integrated daypack in the bottom of the carrier can be removed and used on its own to share the weight amongst two people. This daypack can also be attached to the sternum strap on the front of the bag for a more balanced weight distribution.
Other useful safety features include an aluminium frame with a broad base to reduce the chance of the carrier tipping over and a lock function on the base to prevent it accidentally folding when setting it down. When not in use, the carrier can be folded down for easy transportation.
