Optimized Baby Backpacks

Thule’s ‘Sapling’ Uses Ergonomic Seating And Adjustable Fit

The Thule ‘Sapling’ is a hiking-focused baby backpack designed to support longer outings by combining an ergonomic child seat with a lightweight carrying system.

A key part of the design is the ErgoRide seat, which supports the child’s legs from underneath instead of using stirrups. This helps distribute weight more evenly and keeps the child stable even when they move around. The seating area is also ventilated to help manage heat during active use.

For the wearer, the baby backpack includes an adjustable torso and hip belt that can be tailored to different body types and easily switched between users. A ventilated back panel improves airflow, and dual access points make it easier than ever to load or remove a child without feeling like you’re in the bowels of eternal struggle.

Extras like a 22L storage compartment, built-in UPF 50 sunshade, and hydration compatibility make it easier to carry gear while staying out longer, all along not compromising on comfort.
