Backpacking It...


In the interest of yesterday's post displaying all of my baby carriers, I figured I must also include Lance's favorite carrier of all, the Piggyback child carrier.

Surprise surprise, it comes from his other home, REI. Or, in our case, a kind neighbor who just wanted it out of her closet and willing to part with it for penny change.



It has lovely hip and back support, and is fully adjustable for height of the carrier, and the age of the child.

Awww, look at those chubby arms!!!



It also has a zip-off day pack that I usually use on our longer hikes. You can see it lying on the ground in this pic:



See? Happy baby!



We love this carrier and highly recommend it if you are a hiker with a little one running around. It has allowed us to continue hiking while Bubbalu enjoys the ride.

Here's the most recent pic of us hiking Little Mount Si :



Any of you hikers?

  3. We're not serious hikers, but my husband's boss gave us her backpack carrier (by Evenflo, I think!)

    We use it so much.. still! Woggie tends to be much more of a joy when he's up high and can see what's going on rather than in his stroller.

  4. Yes! We're hikers. Not hard core, but we do enjoy to hike occasionally. We had a similar backpack carrier but it broke so we need a new one for #2. Ours even had a sun canopy. It rocked when we went hiking on a trip to Alberta.

    I'll have to dig up the pictures and post some on my blog tonight!
