THE CAPACITY

Designed for kids up to 48.5 pounds

The Poco AG Plus is rated to carry a child weighing as much as 48.5 lbs, letting families extend outings beyond the infant stage while keeping the child secure in a purpose-built seat.

THE FIT

Adjustable torso and saddle for multiple adults and growing children

Torso adjustments accommodate different adult users while the saddle can be tailored to a child’s size, simplifying transfers between caregivers and lengthening the useful life of the carrier as the child grows.

THE STORAGE

Room for diapers, items and a sunshade

Built-in space for diaper storage and other personal items plus an integrated sunshade means the carrier doubles as a compact daypack for family outings.
