HAVEN'T RATED
Ahhh, the classics. Like a VW Beetle, Ferris Bueller, or those white IKEA high chairs you see in every cafe around the world, the Kånken has grown up with more people than Elmo. It’s blocky, it has lots of handles, and the straps are pretty basic. But there’s something so primal about the Kånken that you fall in love. Oh, and the Mini is pretty rad for your mini kid too. Comes in three sizes to fit a bunch of laptops.
the good
- Interesting, classic design which works well in urban settings
the not so good
- Functionality and features have not been updated, so limited utility.
