The Kid Comfort Active SL has a shorter back length, 35 to 56 cm, and lists adults 158 to 178 cm tall. Deuter describes its carrying system as shaped for women. The other three models list a back length of 44 to 58 cm and adults 158 to 195 cm tall.
Age and sitting rule
Deuter lists an age guide and no minimum weight. The product pages state: "Suitable for children from about 9 months. The child should be able to sit upright independently." Deuter's advice page says sitting up independently with good head control "usually starts at eight/nine months".
The manufacturer's current manual sets the limits for each carrier. A pediatrician answers questions about whether a child is ready to ride in one.
