Step Caddy represents a new way of thinking about child carriers, with a focus on supporting the needs of older, more active toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-5) while keeping parents comfortable, mobile, well-balanced, pain-free, and hands-free.
- Saves Your Back: The Step Caddy is based on biomechanics research, which is why it utilizes a special, patented load-bearing waistbelt combined with the piggyback rider standing position, completely eliminating strain from the adult's arms, shoulders, and especially the back.
- Greater balance, stability, and mobility: The higher the center of mass of the child, the more unstable the platform; you instinctively know this from carrying a child on your shoulders. Step Caddy transfers the weight directly to the hips; the child's center of mass is very close to the adult's, hence giving the adult normal levels of balance, stability, mobility, and improved posture on any terrain.
- Exceptional Ease of Use: By positioning your child in a natural standing "piggyback" stance, with an exceptionally low center of mass, the weight is transferred to the hips, making it easier for them to stand up when they have climbed on.
- Eco-Friendly Foams🌱: Algae-infused foam is a real innovation with practical, measurable benefits. Traditional foams rely heavily on petroleum-based polyols. Algae-infused foam replaces a portion of the polyols with algae-derived biomass, thereby reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
- Packs Up Small: so it can be taken anywhere, even just in case. It is engineered to be supportive and firm where needed, comfortable with four layers of foam, and also strategically designed to fold up small. Small enough to throw into your bag, trunk, or carry-on.
Designed for kids aged 2 years and up, you can take it anywhere. Whether it's a day at the beach, a trip to the zoo, a concert, a theme park, or a hike, pack a Step Caddy in your bag and leave the stroller behind.
Built-In Stirrups
Stirrups are built into the load-bearing waistbelt. These secure the feet, prevent unplanned dismounting due to slips, keep dirty shoes away from parents' clothes, and allow the child to relax because their footing is assured. The stirrups grip the feet during transits and relax and cleverly release the feet when dismounting.
Hip-Lock Straps
Hip-Lock-Straps built into the waistbelt, when pulled, shape the waistbelt to match the curvature of the hips. The belt actually changes shape for comfort and to optimize weight transference to the hips and away from your spine.
Designed for Men and Women
Child carriers are not always comfortable for Mums and Dads. Step Caddy is specifically designed so everyone can share the joy of carrying a 50 lb 5-year-old!
Magnetic Self-Locking Buckles
Step Caddy uses magnetic buckles, so the parent only needs to bring the buckles close to one another for them to attach. The buckles then automatically lock, ensuring the child's safety.
Buckles in Easy Line of Sight
Step Caddy harness attachment position is at chest level, forward of the shoulders so the parent can see buckles with ease without craning their neck (most carriers put the buckles uncomfortably on the shoulders, behind the natural line of sight)
Web Tunnels Hand Protection
Web Tunnels thread the harness straps under the grip handles. This protects the hands of the smaller riders.

We just spent over 3 hours exploring Happy Hollow—covering nearly 4 miles—and not once did my 3-year-old complain about tired legs. Even better? I wasn’t dealing with sore arms or shoulders from carrying him!
The Step Caddy made the entire outing effortless. Since my son was comfortably at my eye level, he could easily see all the animals without needing to be picked up. I noticed other parents struggling to lift their kids for a better view, while we just cruised by stress-free. I could feel the envy from both kids and grown-ups!
This is hands-down one of the best parenting gear investments I’ve made. Highly recommend for anyone with little explorers!

We’ve been using the Step Caddy for a few months now, and it’s a great addition to our house. We have a 2 and a 4 year old who have both mastered getting in and of the step caddy and really enjoying putting their ‘backpack’ on. Compared to alternative baby slings and other carriers, it made our children feel super lightweight and they loved being so high up. The caddy is comfortable for hikes and walks, adjusts easily for different sized adults and children whilst feeling super sturdy. It features some very cool buckles to attach the shoulder straps which make putting it on a simple task. We’re sure the Step Caddy will be a regular feature in our house for a few years to come!

Step Caddy saved the day when our 4 year old got tired on our 2 mile walk. Small and light it was very easy to transport. Simple to setup, Teddy was on my shoulders, enjoying the view, within a couple of minutes. Step Caddy made the walk more enjoyable for Teddy and encourages the kids to get out of the house.

I can't say enough good things about this product for parents who love the outdoors. Unlike traditional child carriers, this carrier allows kids to stand while you walk, making hikes and walks so much more fun for them! my daughter loves it.
The design is brilliant—it distributes the weight so well that it feels just like wearing a regular backpack.
If you enjoy hiking or walking with your little one, I highly recommend Step Caddy!

Step Caddy is extremely useful for carrying your kid when he is tired and refuses to walk anymore. It is easy to set up and allows us to do longer hikes without worrying about dragging bulkier carriers.
