Alright fellas - I said I'd write this review a few weeks ago and never got around to it. I got out today with Myright Jr (now 9 months old) and had him the Deuter Kid Comfort I.
Here's the website:

This pack is super comfortable and adjustable in every way imaginable. There are straps to adjust how the kid sits in the pack and also straps that adust how the pack rides on your back.
The shoulder straps are very comfortable and the hip pads take a lot of the weight of the child without feeling like it. By far though, the sternum straps pulls it all together and make it feel like it's meant to be.
Apparently it'll hold up to a 48 pound child. Myright Jr. is now 22 pounds plus all the gear I had in there and this thing still felt good on my shoulders. I put in about 5 miles today and I could tell, at the end, that I would be better off with the pack riding a bit higher. I'll adjust that for next time out.
Here is all the stuff I had jammed in the pocker in the back of the pack. This pocket is not accessible while the pack is on. As you can see I jammed a fair amount of baby stuff in there and there was room to carry double that in there.
There is a side pocket near the child's head that the child can not reach and I can barely reach with the pack on either... Also - there is a leg in the back that folds out to allow the entire pack to stand up to allow you to get the kid in and out of the pack with ease. When you put it on your back you can reach back and collapse the "leg" so it doesn't stick out as much.
There are plenty of tie points around this to stow gear and toys. I use the top handle coupled with some biners to hang some toys for the boy to play with while we are walking. He actually likes to play with my hat strap
That being said - the child can reach your head while in the pack.
MORE TO COME
Here are some pics of the straps that can adust in every which direction.
