LittleLife Freedom S4 Child Carrier | Baby Carrier

Product Information

This is stowed just behind the front pocket of the carrier and has a wire edge which pops out rather like a pop-up tent. To make your child more comfortable, it has an adjustable head rest and a built-in easy-pull sun shade. It doesn’t feel as robust and isn’t as comfortable, while some of its components and materials feel a little cheap. Instead, the LittleLife Cross Country S4 features an anchor point at the base which you can place your foot into to make sure it stays firmly on the ground so that you have two hands free for safely and easily placing your baby or toddler in the seat. The LittleLife Cross Country S4 has been designed for use over a longer duration than other LittleLife carriers like the Ranger S2, so I found it comfortable to use on long outings.

This highly specialized carrier offers a number of features, such as a large enough compartment for supplies and small items and a patented X-clip for added safety.

We found the carrier was getting small before our little one was 3, but this was mainly due that he was getting a lot heavier and we wanted to encourage him walking from a young age and not get used to the free ride! In this post we cover the key features to look for when purchasing waterproof dungarees or trousers for your children. We already had two children when we purchased the carrier, so we couldn’t just give all the luggage to the non child-carrying adult!Read next: The best baby carriers: soft-structured carriers, wraps and slings How easy is the LittleLife Cross Country S4 to assemble?

Little Life make a range of child carriers that tend to be cheaper than the offerings from the likes of Osprey, Thule, Kelty and Deuter.
