As child carrier technology has improved everyday use of kid packs has increased. No longer just for hikes in the great outdoors parents are using packs to cruise the grocery store or to walk around town. In response to the demands of todays busy multi-tasking parents Deuter has created the KangaKid. Strap on the KangaKid - what appears to be a regular full capacity (four zippered compartments and plenty of mesh pockets) backpack with luxurious shoulder straps and a padded hipbelt. In addition to all of the features of a high end backpack the KangaKid unzips to reveal (gasp!) a full child cockpit.
