The product, in the report: Osprey Poco Child Carrier in Koala Gray
This item was first used on April 21, 2013 on a family hike at Kaena Point in Waialua, Hawaii with my then 15 month old daughter. About 3/4 of the way through the hike, my daughter started crying, and I noticed the carrier was off balance. Someone behind me yelled ahead that my daughter had fallen through the leg hole and was stuck. They helped me to get her unstuck and out of the carrier while she screamed, but was thankfully unhurt. At the time, I had assumed that we had used it incorrectly, but was uncomfortable trying to use it again. It has sat in storage for the past 4 years, and I recently pulled it out to see if it could be sold at a yard sale I googled to research a price, and saw the recall for the exact issue that we had with it. I was able to use pictures to pinpoint the exact date of the incident.

The product, in the report: Osprey Poco Premium child carrier
My 8 1/2 month old (16.25 pounds) infant fell out of this carrier. I was carrying her in the backpack on my back. She fell asleep in the backpack and slipped out the side and landed on the sidewalk. She suffered bruises and possible concussion but no other injuries. We took her to the emergency room where she got a CAT scan to confirm that there was no head injury

No one hurt Made Aug 15, 2012, sent to the company Aug 30, 2012, published by CPSC Sep 21, 2012
The product, in the report: Osprey Poco Plus Child Carrier, sold by REI, baby backpack carrier for hiking; 6lbs. 15 oz; ripstop nylon/polyester with aluminum frame; 27x13x12 inches; blue
Our baby was riding in the Osprey Poco Plus Child Carrier backpack on my husband’s back while we were walking on the beach. Our baby is approximately 27 lbs and is 22 months old. She wiggled one leg out of the carrier so that both legs fell into one leg hole. She began to slip out of the baby carrier through the leg hole but got stuck. Her head/neck was caught on the shoulder strap. My husband realized there was a problem and took the back pack off, getting our baby’s feet on solid ground. This prevented her from obtaining any injuries such as strangulation. She could have been “hung” by the her head/neck being caught in the strap. Our baby was okay, but I hadn’t thought it was even possible for her to get both legs through one hole. [In another instance, she was able to shrug her shoulders out from under the shoulder straps and stand up in the carrier (by putting her feet on the middle seat divider) completely unstrapped. Again, injury was avoided because my husband and I saw what happened and took her out of the carrier.]
