MINIMEIS G4 Shoulder Carrier

Product Information

With the MiniMeis Shoulder Carrier your little one will discover the world from the top of your shoulders.

Unfortunately, this is mostly unavoidable as the most comfortable packs are by far and away the heaviest (Deuter’s 5-pound-15-ounce Kid Comfort Active is one exception, but it’s low on features). The MiniMeis G4 is equipped with a weight distribution system that allows the child to sit on an elevated arch, avoiding direct pressure on the adult’s neck, shoulders and collarbone. The minimal features also can be an issue here, and we particularly miss having a hydration compatible sleeve, zippered hipbelt pockets (there is one mesh pocket), sunshade, and better organization from the one main pocket on the pack body.

I share tips and thoughts on motherhood and parenting, home improvement hacks, side hussle tips, as well as stories about living with autoimmune diseases.

The MiniMeis G4 Shoulder Carrier removes all the chaos of trying to balance a wriggly child on your shoulders and allows you to be hands free, which the founder of the carrier stated was the driving force behind the invention. As a bonus, the Journey PerfectFit saves you over 2 pounds compared with premium alternatives and has a similar maximum weight capacity.The child sits higher in MiniMeis than in a regular hiking baby carrier, which opens the possibility to hit the parent on their head, pulling ears, and doing other crazy things toddlers do.

Deuter packs are known for their quality suspension systems, and the latest model is a standout: it has a sturdy metal frame that easily handles a growing (and active) child, and the padded hipbelt and mesh backpanel mix support and ventilation very nicely.Plus, the tall back, supportive sides, and plush, washable front pad make for great mid-hike naps (and easy cleanup after). However, please be aware of obstacles above your head level that may impose danger to the young one sitting on it.
