Nice review. Very helpful. Not sure about that little mirror though. Better make sure the sun is not behind you as you might hurt your child’s eyes with the sunlight reflecting in their face. Think I would use the front facing camera on my phone instead.
Hi, thanks for your comment. The Poco LT and Poco Plus are quite different but I would say the main practical difference is the size they pack down to. We've done a video comparing the Poco and the Poco LT which will give the a good idea of the main differences in more detail: th-cam.com/video/oEjVPa4UXMY/w-d-xo.html
Hi, just purchased this as I’ve been watching your comparison videos! They are so helpful, one question that I can’t find the answer too, can you use this whilst pregnant? X
Hi, good question. I don't think there is any official advice on this. I used my baby carrier when I was pregnant with my second child. Obviously, I was careful where I put the waist belt so I didn't squash my bump. I think I stopped around 6 months + when it all became too cumbersome with a bump at the front and baby on the back!
Do you have any videos on how to clean this product? that's the only thing that's holding me back from buying one, would i be able to take the fabric areas apart and throw it in the wash?
Hi, good question. You can remove the cushion directly in front of the babies head (the dribble cushion). All of the rest of the fabric is tightly fitted to the carrier and can't be removed. If you needed to was the whole thing we would recommend hand washing it in a bath and then leaving it to drip dry.
Hi! I know the carrier is supposed to sit on your hips but when I did that, it dug into my back like right above my butt. Do you think I have it too high or low? I have wide hips for my body and feel like my butt would get in the way if I put it any lower
Hi, sounds like you probably don't want to go any lower. Sometimes we find that the Deuter range fit women with wider hips better than the Osprey carriers.
Hi, many thanks for this helpful video. I need to use it with a special needs kid. The weight is not a problem but height could be one as he growth faster than he take weight. Thus, how tall a child shoud do to fit in this carrier ? If you don't get the straight answer (as far as I could tell, only Vaude talk about it), I would be interested to know the heigth between the lowert point of the sit and the highest point of the sunshade. Thank you in advance !
Hi there, good question. Osprey don't provide recommended heights for children as you stated. With the Poco I think the limiting factor will not be the height of the child but the size of the harness. I think you would struggle to fit any child into the harness much above 3-4 years. The Deuter Pro is the carrier I have seen that have the most space and height (seat to top of sunshade) and you can get more adjustment in the child harness too. So it might be that the Deuter Pro is a better option for you.
Hi, they are quite different in some respects. We actually have published a video comparison of those tow carriers a few days ago, see link below: th-cam.com/video/Qd0deRh7j_s/w-d-xo.html
Hi, you could take the Osprey Poco in the hold on a plane. I would definitely recommend you get the Osprey Poco carry case to go with the Poco baby carrier if you plan on taking it on a plane as it will keep all the straps enclosed.
Hi! I'm trying to figure out how to fit this to me (the adult wearer). I've found all the adjustment straps, but what's the right fit? When I'm adjusting the height of the shoulder straps, does that affect how high the backpack is on my back? How high should it be? And then the shoulder straps - do I just tighten those as tight as they'll go?
Hi, you should be carrying most of the weight through the waist strap, so have this nice and tight across the top of your hips. Then pull the shoulder straps in so they are comfortable but not tight. The mistake a lot of people make is to have most of the weight hanging through the shoulder straps. Hope this helps.
My wife and I have used this with our son from when he was 5 months to present (2) … weight limit is only thing that will cut it off Our son fits but he’s pretty big for his age so a higher weight capacity would be ideal … he’s 25 months and 39 inches pushing 40 pounds
@@LittleAdventureShop Does all Poco Plus come with the rain cover? I purchased one from a different retailer and it didn't come with it. There was nothing in the under-seat compartment. I purchased one in Canada.
@@waynehuang736 Hi, thanks for your question. I've just had a chat with the guys at Osprey about this. It turns out that in the UK the rain cover is included as standard as we have a lot of rain! However we don't think that this is necessarily the same in North America, so you may need to buy it separately - I think it is the same green cover.

Thanks for a really helpful video. Much better than the osprey instructions!
You're welcome!
Going to take ours out for the first time today and your video was very helpful. Thank you.
Have fun!
Just got this as a hand-me-down, thank you for the video! Trying it out tonight with the little guy!
No worries at all! It's a great piece of kit, sure you will love it!
Indeed! took it on a little 2 mile pack test last night, baby loved it and dad got a workout!
@@LittleAdventureShop
Love that! Glad to hear that.@@dAdventureLLC
Brilliant video. Thank you so much. Purchased second hand so needed some guidance.
Thank you for leaving your comment! So glad you found this video helpful.

Does the hydration bladder go in the mesh area? Thanks!
Hi, firstly I want to thank you for the videos, and secondly I was wondering what would you say is biggest difference between Poco Plus and Poco LT?

Thank you for this review! Helped me alot! It would’ve been even nicer if you showed us how to remove and put back on the drooling pad!
Glad it helped!

Nothing to do with the baby carrier: what about the hoodie on the right in the background? Thxs!

Hi @@LittleAdventureShop, thank you very much for your great advices! I will consider the Deuter as well.

Is it suitable to take on the plane?

Is it free to take it in planes like a stroller or car seat?

Does it come stock with the rain cover? Most child carriers don't seem to include that and require it to be purchased separately
Hi, the Poco Plus comes with a rain cover (you'll find it in the large under seat compartment), with the Poco you need to buy it separately.
@@LittleAdventureShop thank you for clarifying!
