We’re very happy with our purchase of the Thule Sapling. It is comfortable, really easy to use, and has a lot of storage options. Bub is comfortable, well supported, and really enjoys being in the carrier. This is our second Thule purchase (we also have a pram) and the quality across both of the products is fantastic. Would definitely recommend!

We tried all the different backpack baby carriers in the market. We found the Thule Sapling to be the most comfortable by far and the best quality. It is also the most supportive and thought through for the baby. There are heaps of storage options and a waist belt that also has mobile phone and keys pouches. The sun cover is very well thought through and works very well. After enjoying the Sapling so much we then bought the rain cover which works very well even while the baby is in the carrier. And we bought the clip-on sling backpack. We got this so we could separate the load and have a quick refillable pack for nappies and wipes. Summary, most comfortable, breathable for the baby and the parent, high quality. Highly recommend the Thule Sapling. Extremely impressed. Bubs and Grubs had the best price btw!
