The Holdoy Trailbud

Rides high
Up where they can see everything.
Instead of staring at the backs of knees, your child rides above your head, taking in the whole walk with you. The moments you point things out to each other are the whole reason you brought them.
Light and packable
Folds flat, comes everywhere.
The Trailbud folds down thin as a laptop and slips into its own carry bag. It is as at home in a shopping mall or an overhead bin as it is on a trail, so it comes along on the days you would have left the bulky gear behind.
Comfortable for hours
Steady, cushioned, secure.
The weight-distribution arch shifts the load across your back, the padded cushions soften where it rests on your shoulders, and a seat belt with leg straps keeps your little one settled long after they would have asked to be picked up. Less fussing, more exploring.
Ready in seconds
Folds flat like a laptop.

Good to know
Questions, answered.
The Trailbud is designed for children from around 6 months, once they can sit up unassisted with good head and trunk control, up to about 5 years. Please confirm the exact weight limit on your product listing before your child rides.
Yes. The Trailbud is light enough to carry all day, and it folds flat, about as thin as a laptop, in a few seconds. It comes with its own travel bag so it slips into a backpack, a trunk, or an overhead bin.
Yes. The weight-distribution arch spreads your child's weight across your back rather than loading it all on your neck, and the padded shoulder cushions soften the contact points. Most parents find they can wear it far longer than they could carry a toddler on their shoulders unaided.
Spot clean the fabric with mild soap and warm water, then air dry. Avoid machine washing so the padding and frame keep their shape.
