With its line of [child carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/konny-baby-carrier) called Poco, [Osprey](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-hiking-adventure-backpack) realizes that many travelers struggle to find gear that can accommodate their own gear, plus a child and the items needed by the child such as food, diapers and a spare set of clothes. In terms of storage space, the bag contains about 34 liters for cargo, plus an additional 3-liter bladder for carting around a fresh supply of water. Part backpack and part child carrier, Poco was designed with parents in mind. From the removable drool pad to the stowable changing pad, the backpack is ideal for spending a day in the great outdoors with a young one. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Specialized Baby Carriers:** Designing backpacks or carriers with specialized features for safe and convenient baby transportation is a growing trend to improve the travel experience of parents. - **Multi-functional Backpacks:** Creating backpacks that serve different purposes for travelers such as carrying both personal and baby essentials is a trend that provides convenience and comfort in traveling. - **Sustainable Baby Gear:** Creating eco-friendly and durable baby carriers is a trend that is in demand as parents look for gear that is environmentally friendly and long-lasting. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Baby Products:** The baby products industry can benefit from the trend of creating specialized, multi-functional and sustainable baby carriers like the Osprey Poco that would appeal to eco-conscious and adventurous parents. - **Outdoor Gear:** Incorporating specialized features into backpacks or carriers for safe and convenient baby transportation into outdoor gear creates opportunities for disruption and innovation in the outdoor industry. - **Travel and Tourism:** The travel and tourism industry can embrace the trend of multi-functional backpacks that cater to the needs of parents on vacation by offering rental services, packages, or discounts and thereby gain a competitive advantage in the family travel market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Storage-Equipped Baby Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunveno-new-ergonomic-baby-carrier.md) - [Multifunctional Diaper Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keababies-diaper-backpack.md) - [Amalgamated Adventure Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-hiking-adventure-backpack.md) - [Consummate Carry-On Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/international-travel-backpack.md) - [Inflatable Infant Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflatable-baby-carrier.md) - [Optimized Airline Travel Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-porter-backpack.md) - [Multi-Functional Baby Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-baby-carrier.md) - [Premium Baby Carrying Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calpak.md) - [Stabilized Dog Hiking Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-hiking-backpack.md)
