Before you had kids, you spent your weekends exploring new trails, hiking up mountains, making fire from twigs. You spent your labor browsing the aisles of REI and gave birth at the rock climbing wall. Okay, maybe not all of those are true. But if even one is true, you’re probably very familiar with Kelty, which has been making products that help you pursue your passion for the outdoors since 1952. And just because you’ve had a baby, Kelty doesn’t believe you should have to slow down.
The Kelty FC 1.0 is an extremely affordable option with the best combination of features for short hikes in the woods or jaunts about town. With the Kelty FC 1.0 you can share all your favorite activities with your new little adventure-seeker. The Kelty FC 1.0 draws on Kelty’s 50 years of backpacking heritage to bring you safety, comfort and ease of use in one frame baby carrier.
The Kelty FC 1.0 has a unique five-point adjustable child harness, which is the ultimate in child safety. The auto-deploy kickstand with patented No-Pinch hinges help you load and unload the carrier easily and with no tears (of your own or your baby’s). Your child won’t outgrow the Kelty FC 1.0 for many years, due to the adjustable seat and custom fit leg straps. When your little one is old enough to talk, you won’t hear a word of complaint, because the Kelty FC 1.0 has a fully padded frame and seat made of breathable fabric, to keep your child comfortable all day long.
You won’t be complaining either, since the ventilated back panel on the Kelty FC 1.0 wicks moisture away from your body, keeping you cool even on a vigorous hike in warm weather. The padded shoulder straps adjust to comfortably fit all shapes and sizes, and the padded hip belt contours to your unique shape, giving you the comfort and support you need and deserve.
The Kelty FC 1.0 is made from 600D poly/brushed nylon, available in Green Apple, Tangerine and Blueberry. A one-layer curved waist belt, a padded mesh back panel, and curved, padded shoulder straps keep you comfortable while wearing a child up to 50 pounds. The Kelty FC 1.0 includes a waist belt torso-length adjustment, sternum strap, load lifter straps and a patented Scherer Cinch waist belt system, making it adjustable for wearers of different sizes.
The Kelty FC 1.0 has been designed with kids in mind. The Kelty FC 1.0 includes toy loops where you can attach favorite toys and teethers. For your convenience, the Kelty FC 1.0 under seat storage, a storage pouch and carry/lift handles. The lightweight aluminum frame of the FC 1.0 allows you to go anywhere quickly and comfortably with your child close to your heart.
The Kelty FC 1.0 weighs 4 pounds and 13 ounces and measures 19" by 15" by 30". All Kelty FC 1.0’s are coated with a highly water resistant treatment, which should sufficiently protect your carrier. If, however, you are planning a major hike during monsoon season, or you just want to be sure to keep your little one completely dry, you may want to purchase the patented Sun/Rain Hood.
