iF Design Award 2022: Thule Sapling
This year we were nominated for, and won, two iF Design Awards, including our work on the Thule Sapling.
Thule Sapling is a child carrier backpack with a machine washable child seat that provides under-leg support to maximize comfort on any adventure. Thule Sapling has been the hiker’s favorite for years. The new and updated version evolves this iconic child carrier into a modern, stylish baby backpack that lets you live an active life, experiencing the freedom to go anywhere in the outdoors with your child.
What our client says
One of the most universal child carriers on the market, we're thrilled that these esteemed committees have recognized the Sapling for its innovations.”
Daniel Åhman, Director of Designovation at Thule
Our proud remarks
We're so proud to see the Thule Sapling recognized and awarded for its innovations like its easy-to-attach accessories and dual access to the ErgoRide child seat. This is another great project in the books with Thule — and another excellent execution by their entire team.”
