Question for Hikers with Kids
Any hikers out there that can give comments/recommendations of backpack carriers?
Will be travelling/hiking with our 15 month old now 24 lbs. and would like some comments from hikers that have used backpack carriers. Both my husband and I would take turns so would need a carrier that would convert from 5.4 and 5.11 heights.
I have researched the Kelty, REI Piggyback, Madden & Tough Traveller. We have tried on a few in the stores, but would like opinions from those of you that have actually been out on the trails with your kids.
Also, any experience with the rain hoods? Have heard a lot of them are designed poorly and rain runs down the back of a person's neck.
Thanks!
