The Sherpani Rumba is an extremely durable, practical, and stylish baby and child carrier that is suitable for both short jaunts as well as long hikes. What parents will love most about this Sherpani model is how much extra storage room it has, lessening your load! The Rumba not only has a storage pocket at the back of the carrier but there is also an entire pack that can be taken right off! The shoulder straps are cushioned with padding however, some users have said that when the treks are long, these straps can tend to dig into the shoulders and become uncomfortable. The carrier has elastic toy loops, which leave more free storage space and while the adjustable waist belt is large enough to fit from 29″ – 42″, it can also be worn by both moms and dads comfortably! And in either of the stylish colors, black or sweet pea, it’s sure to look great on everyone!

The child also sits comfortably and securely in the seat with a bucket seat and and sturdy sides. The stirrups will cup baby’s feet to not only provide a better fit but also to provide better leg circulation. When it gets too sunny, putting the sunshade up will also keep baby protected and comfortable. The Sherpani Rumba also has a frame so that it will sit if you need to set it down for a minute or two. The Rumba definitely has just about every convenience you could ask for, even if it means forfeiting some shoulder comfort on long hikes, but you’ll also pay the price for them as the Sherpani Rumba costs £165.00.
