Summary: Disappointed
Comment: I had seen the Sherpani Superlight on the trail a couple of times and knew a friend that had one that I had seen in a photo. The pack is attractive and fits comfortably. There is plenty of room to carry extra gear and has convenient pockets or carrying keys, chewies, etc.. The big disappointment came after a day hike when I finally realized that there was no padding in the waist belt. I found it very uncomfortable that the bar for the frame was resting right against my back without any kind of padding at all. I thought that I had missed a piece somewhere but after searching all of the info in the packaging (woefully unhelpful. No diagrams of any kind too describe what features should look like when used correctly.) I determined that it was simply a design oversight and I was forced to return the pack. I found a used Kelty Journey that has ample padding. I'm still not sure about that one, but I am not going to be using the Sherpani Superlight. Bummer.

Summary: Comfortable
Comment: I have owned a number of baby carriers over the years. My favorite for babys is the Bjourn front carrier for around the house (you must stand and keep moving though or the kid will get bored and cry, but for chores it is the ultimate). The Bjourn carrier only is good up until about 25 pounds. Then you have to switch to a back carrier. I previously owned Keltys best model but it got lost in a move, so I decided to try the Sherpani Rumba. I like it even a little better than the Kelty, but they a nearly the same. The Kelty has a tubular frame that puts the kid a little further from your body. The Sherpani uses flat aluminum strips which keeps the load a little closer and better wearing. The overall padding, fit and finish is about the same. I can wear my 36 pound daughter for a few hours before it becomes a chore. As long as I keep moving she generally doesnt mind being in it. Another difference is the Kelty has foot stirrups. They are very poorly designed and dont stay on the kids feet. The Sherpani doesnt have these stirrups, and the kids dont seem to notice so I am not sure they are of any benefit.
