ity and function of the carrier, from frame to straps
and closures, checking the handling and comfort as
well as analysing the chemical properties of the material. Further, the Technical Inspection Association
reviews each stage of the production process. The
Kid Comfort child carriers are suitable for children
who can sit upright by themselves. The maximum
load capacity (child + gear + Kid Comfort) is 22 kg.
The ergonomic design of the Deuter Kid Carriers is thought-through
to the detail and was developed in cooperation with paediatric surgeon Dr. med Micha Bahr
from the Ruhr University Bochum. It guarantees a
healthy and safe sitting posture for the child: the
width of the seat varies in relation to the adjusted
height and in combination with the footrests creates
the perfect individual position. The ergonomic chin
pad, the side wings with compression straps and the
backrest with integrated headrest provide maximum
stability to all sides.

ergonomic chin pad with side support

offers maximum child safety as well as maximum practability
through easy handling and adjustment. It further prevents the
kid from excess swaying and makes it easy to balance even
on difficult terrain.
The allround padded cockpit
Kid Comfort SYSTEM
Child Safety
and Comfort
ensures stability from all sides and a cosy, protected
position with an unrestricted view and great freedom of movement.
The sun roof option
is easily and generously adjustable – even when the child is
already seated. Lift the buckle under the chin pad to lower
the seat; or tighten the adjustment strap to lift the seat.
Slip one hand under the seat to support the lift. The height
adjustable seat perfectly accomodates the growing child,
with the chin at the level of the upper half of the chin pad.
The width of the seat cushions
matches the adjusted height and thus gurantees an ergonomic sitting posture in combination with the specific footrest construction. The width increases with the height of the
seat to guarantee a natural spread squat position; the lower
the seat the narrower the width for an upright sitting position. The seat cover material is skin-friendly, quick drying and
breathable – super comfortable even on hot summer days.
Height adjustable footrests
support the blood flow of the child’s legs, help
maintain an ergonomic posture and prevent the
legs from ‘falling asleep’ or getting cold. The
footrests are flexible, so the child can playfully change his/her leg and sitting position, yet
at the same time cannot lift him/herself out of
the seat. This construction further prevents the
child from swaying back and forth and the child
carrier will also not tilt over when standing. The
height of the footrests is steplessly adjustable:
the legs should neither dangle nor should the
angle be too compressed.
The sturdy aluminium frame
The simple and safe side entry
is very popular with kids, because they have the option
of climbing into the seat by themselves. It is also easy
and safe to lift in your child with the yellow buckled side
access open.
provides a safe and stable free-stand with its wide kickstand and
guarantees an easy access. Its frame geometry has no rough and
sharp edges, is extremely robust and features a soft fabric cover in
the seat area (Kid Comfort 2 & 3). You can effortlessly extend and
retract the kickstand while carrying. A “click” sound ensures that
the kickstand has snapped into its standing or transport position.

The height of the seat

protects the child’s sensitive skin from harmful sun rays,
especially on hot summer days or at higher altitudes (sun
roof for Kid Comfort Air & II available as additional accessory, on Kid Comfort III it is integrated). Mind: always
apply sunscreen even when the child is not exposed to
direct sunlight!
Two stable grab handles
make the Kid Comforts easy to lift on the
back without additional help.
The S-shaped shoulder straps
are inherently stable and come with an airy 3D
AirMesh lining. They curve comfortably over the
soulders, relieve the strain on the neck muscles
and guarantee fantastic freedom of movement.
With the Vari Fit System
Kid Comfort SYSTEM
Carrier Safety
and Comfort
all Kid Comfort models can be effortlessly adjusted to
the wearer’s individual back length. This is vital for the
perfect fit of the child carrier and guarantees a safe
and balanced carry.
The anatomically shaped hip fins
70
Family
are made from multiple layers.
The inner side has a layer of soft foam with 3D AirMesh lining for heightened comfort. The firm foam
on the outside is modelled to the anatomic shape
and transfers the load to the hips. Side compression straps on the fins regulate the load and increase
stability.
Kid Comfort 2 & 3 models
are fitted with Deuter’s
Vari Flex System
leaving the generous hip fins fully mobile. The Vari Flex hip fins follow even the
most complex movements allowing tricky sections to be negotiated without losing your balance – especially important
when carrying a hefty load.
Back systems with proven
air ventilation –
the Aircomfort system on the Kid Comfort Air and the
Aircontact system on Kid Comfort 2 & 3 – guarantee
Deuter’s signature carry comfort. The back systems further create a space for airflow between child and carrier: this reduces perspiration, prevents heat accumulation
and saves energy.
The Pull-Forward
construction
on the hip belt allows an easy
and precise adjustment.

Deuter has channeled all its expertise and detailed research into
this airy child carrier! Maximum ventilation for the wearer is guaranteed by the proven Aircomfort back system – while the kids enjoy
the “airconditioning” provided by the mesh material on the sides
of the cockpit. The high quality carrying system is super easy to match to
the wearer’s individual back with a stepless back length adjustment and the
height of the child’s seat is easily adjustable as well. The stable frame construction ensures a safe stand when loading the child. And with the side access the kids can also climb in and out of the seat independently.

A favourite with parents and kids alike: designed for that feeling of boundless freedom, also on longer hikes. The sporty Kid Comfort was the first ever TÜV
and GS approved child carrier worldwide in 1996. Since then it has taken thousands
of kids and parents on great excursions outdoors. Yet we never stand still and are constantly fine-tuning our products. Thus, our popular carrier has now gained in comfort
and safety: the height and the width of the seat can be effortlessly adjusted – even
with the child already seated. The kids can also themselves climb in and out of the seat
via the side access. The new ergonomic, large chin pad provides maximum safety and
stability in the ‘cabin’ front. When the child takes a nap and the head sinks forward it
rests comfortably with optimum side support. The various pockets and compartments
provide multiple storing options, while the back system can be easily adjusted to the
wearer. The pivoting Vari Flex hip fins sit perfectly and diligently follow every movement and the Aircontact system saves energy and offers a snug, comfortable fit.

First class travel for passenger and captain alike on
any family expedition! Pivoting Vari Flex hip fins
deliver ultimate comfort and precise load control.
They are concave in shape and ultra-comfortable, sit perfectly, follow every movement with ease and distribute
the weight evenly to the hips. And because they allow
maximum freedom of movement, they help save energy.
The child enjoys the stability and comfort of the softly
padded, high rising backrest and the integrated sun roof
protects from the burning sun. With its clever construction you can easily stow the roof in the headrest. The kid’s
‘basecamp’ comes in a new design and now offers an allround padded cabin covered with breathable, skin-friendly fabric. The flexible foot rests as well as the ergonomic
chin pad and seat pads guarantee a safe and ergonomic
posture. One problem might arise though: it is quite likely
the passenger will refuse to exit the cockpit...

The child’s seat can now be easily and generously adjusted in
height and width – it gets wider the higher the seat.
precious load
We asked independent experts
It is no secret that the Deuter team is packed with
passionate outdoorers. We love climbing, hiking,
biking, cycling and paddling. What is your passion?
The mountains, nature, your family, your kids? And
don’t you just love it when all of this comes together? No wonder Deuter has also played a pioneering
role in the development of child carriers – we wanted to take our kids with us outdoors! In our experience, child carriers are the best means of transport
for kids aged 1–4/5.
The little ones enjoy the view from their ‘cabin’ high
up, love the freedom of movement and the cosy, allround protected seat. The parents appreciate the
carrying comfort with its adjustable back length and
the fantastic ventilation.
“All three had a lot of fun with the

It keeps carrier and child in balance even on difficult terrain, steep stairs or muddy paths. Our Kid
Comforts also offer multiple storage solutions for
clothes, diapers, sunscreen, food and drinks etc. We
are very proud of our long and strong tradition and
our expertise in designing the best carriers for kids.
Yet we just cannot and will not stand still and we
constantly fine-tune our products. We asked independent experts for their input so that we will not
miss one aspect in optimizing our child carriers.
Our team of experts includes Dr. Micha Bahr, Medical Director of the paediatric surgical ward at the
Ruhr University Hospital in Bochum/Germany. We
asked him to evaluate our kid carriers – a rather easy
task for him since he has been using them for years.
He has three daughters, Cari, Franci and Noa.
child carriers.”
The new, ergonomic chin pad
supports the little head when
it sinks forward while taking
a nap.
The footrests animate the
kids to play with their little
feet, which further enhances
the blood circulation.
We used them more often than the pushchairs.” And
Dr. Bahr adds: “The rocking movement reminds kids
of the movement they felt in their mother’s womb.
Of course, they also enjoy being so close to the
carrier – they have a great time playing with their
parents’ hair….” Brain research has further shown
that the swaying, three-dimensional movement has
a positive stimulating effect on the child’s equilibrium organ, “which is very important for the development of the child! You can even say that the
transport in a child carrier fosters childrens’ perceptions and senses – compared to kids who are carried
around in a car.” As soon as his daughters were able
to sit upright they changed from baby sling to child
carrier – and were always outdoors with mum and
dad. Dr. Bahr concludes: “I believe that Deuter has
revolutionized the culture of mobility for both, child
and parent, by developing the kid carriers in the late
1990ies. And at the same time it has also contributed to a healthier neurophysiological development
of children.”
The unique mobility is indeed a major advantage:
parents are no longer limited or restricted! With a
child carrier they can go to places, which are impossible to reach with a pushchair. And the whole family
can enjoy the outdoors! “From an early age the kids
can explore nature instead of spending their times
in front of TV or computer screens”, says Dr. Bahr.
“Over and over again my girls surprise me with their
curiosity and attentiveness. They point out all those
little, fascinating things and they love observing and
exploring. Being outdoors is an experience we share
as a family and that brings us closer together. The
kid carriers help making those experiences possible.
And they also foster the direct communication between us and the girls.” After numerous tours Dr.
Bahr reviewed our Kid Comforts: “Deuter’s back systems offers a very ergonomic and balanced carry,
while the seat for the child providess great comfort
and thought-through safety details. In particular the
5-point harness and the easy seat access make it the
best and safest child carrier currently available on
the market.”
it gets wider the higher the seat. “That’s a fantastic solution”, Dr. Bahr says, “because the angle of
the hip joint, the vascular system and nerve tracts
change with the growing child. The smaller the child,
the wider the spread squat position should be.” Further, the new, ergonomic chin pad supports the little
head when it sinks forward while taking a nap. Deuter presented the first prototypes about six months
after the first meetings with Dr. Bahr and the brand
was ready for the next step. “I more or less invited
a whole kindergarten to our headquarters – the kids
of colleagues and friends took over our offices…”
says product manager Miguel Tiblas. The boys and
girls of different age were carried around in the new
Kid Comforts. The team analyzed the height and
the width of the seat, the position and length of
the head- and footrests etc. “It is part of the game,
when you take it seriously!” Miguel believes. And
we take it seriously! In the end, your child is the most
precious load you will ever carry!
“I remembered one time when I was hiking with
my wife Reni and our eldest daughter who had just
turned one. We wanted to climb a really beautiful
peak, but after an hour she cried so hard and we
couldn’t calm her down.” Why? Her legs had fallen
asleep. To avoid this we have constructed height
adjustable footrests for our revised child carriers:
no dangling feet, no pinched nerves! The legs stay
warm and the kids don’t suffer from pins and needles. Further, the footrests animate the kids to play
with their little feet, which further enhances the
blood circulation. At the same time, our new footrests consider all safety aspects: the construction
prevents the kids from pushing themselves out of the
seat, because it doesn’t provide enough back-pressure to stand up or ‘rock’ the carrier.
Yet this was only the beginning: with Dr. Bahr’s
feedback our product development team with Steve Buffington, Thomas Hilger, Fabian Rampelmann
and Miguel Tiblas started to revise the Kid Comfort
range. The result: the child’s seat can now be easily and generously adjusted in height and width –

Built to outlast the toughest of terrains and large enough to carry the survival kit, and, of course,
child friendly. Deuter’s Waldfuchs is ideally suited to the
demands of the forest kindergarten – which explains why it
is so widely used by kids between the ages of 3 and 6. Your
children can make new discoveries in the woods every day
and in any weather – hiding under big piles of leaves, studying wildlife under a magnifying glass, snack-time in the rain,
building igloos in the snow or cutting firewood with their
very own saw. Strong colours guarantee fresh adventures
and each of the functions is as easy as 1-2-3 for children to
use – the front pocket can even be opened with gloves on!
