We encourage any rider that feels uncomfortable or unsafe to notify their carrier who will attempt to satisfy any concerns.

to see your surroundings from a new perspective.
Also piggybacking is a fun means of travel where you can just relax and take in the view
as their carrier takes them to their destination.
Plus, the applications of a piggyback are nearly endless.

to see over a crowd at a concert: Piggybacks. To go on a hiking adventure even when you are tired: Piggybacks.
