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.
A Baby Talk Editor’s Choice, the Kelty TC 3.0 has sleek lines and a small frame, making it the ideal carrier for shopping, travelling or hiking. With the Kelty TC 3.0, you can share all your favorite activities with your new little adventure-seeker. The Kelty TC 3.0 draws on Kelty’s 50 years of backpacking heritage to bring you safety, comfort and ease of use in one transit baby carrier.
The Kelty TC 3.0 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 TC 3.0 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 TC 3.0 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 TC 3.0 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 TC 3.0 is made from 450D poly/ brushed nylon, available in Black and Cherry. A one-layer curved waist belt, a padded back panel, and curved, padded shoulder straps keep you comfortable while wearing a child up to 40 pounds. The Kelty TC 3.0 includes a sliding back panel 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 TC 3.0 has been designed with kids in mind. The Kelty TC 2.1 includes toy loops where you can attach favorite toys and teethers and a child-view mirror so you can always know what the little one is up to. For your convenience, the Kelty TC 3.0 includes a waist belt storage pocket, mesh water-bottle pockets, organizer pocket, carry/lift handles, and a zip-off diaper bag with shoulder straps and changing pad included.
The Kelty TC 3.0, with a lightweight internal aluminum frame, weighs 5 pounds and 13 ounces, and measures 12” by 12” by 21”. All Kelty TC 3.0’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 protect your little one from the elements, all Kelty TC 3.0’s include the patented Kelty Sun/Rain Hood.
