SPROUT 5

My three-year-old can finally get the Velcro sternum closure on by herself, which makes getting out the door so much faster. The S-shape harness sits snug without rubbing her neck, and the pack rides high enough that she doesn't even notice it's on.

The SOFTNECK harness really does feel plush – my son didn’t complain once on our walk to daycare. I love that the sternum strap clicks shut easily for him but isn’t a struggle for me to adjust.

My three-year-old figured out the Velcro sternum closure on her own within a day, which made me feel a lot better about her getting in and out of it independently. The S-shape harness keeps the straps off her neck, and she actually keeps it on for our whole walks now.
