Take your littlest adventurer along for the journey with the Thule Sapling Child Carrier, a thoughtfully designed hiking carrier that combines exceptional child comfort with a supportive, customizable fit for parents. Lightweight yet packed with smart features, it’s made for everything from afternoon nature walks to full days exploring the trail together.

At the heart of the Sapling is Thule’s innovative ErgoRide child seat, designed to provide complete support underneath your child’s legs and distribute their weight more comfortably. Unlike traditional carriers that rely on stirrups, the supportive seat keeps little legs comfortably positioned even as your child kicks, wiggles, and moves throughout the adventure—helping make longer outings more enjoyable.

Comfort extends to parents, too. The fully adjustable torso and hip belt allow you to customize the carrier to your body and make it easy to switch between caregivers along the way. A convenient side-panel opening simplifies getting a wiggly little one in and out, while strategically placed side zippers provide easy access to the generous 22L gear compartment without needing to remove the carrier.

Why We Love It at Drool & Co.:
The Thule Sapling makes bringing little ones along on outdoor adventures feel so much more doable. We especially love the ErgoRide seat—the full leg support is a thoughtful departure from traditional stirrup-style carriers and helps keep kids comfortable as the miles add up. Pair that with an adjustable parent fit, generous storage, and easy side access, and you have a carrier that’s made for families who want to explore together.
