I’ve told myself I won’t be one of those dads. You know, the pushy kind where I expect my kids to love my hobbies with the same passion. That said, I’m not going to shy away from encouraging them to tag along, either.
At the moment my daughter Lulu is about a year old and I’ve started taking her out on some of my more mellow adventures. Last month we went up to the Sandia Mountains, which sit just outside Albuquerque where I live, and went for a hike. She can’t walk so I carried her in the Poco Premium child carrier from Osprey, which is about as plush as child carriers come. She gets a safe and comfy ride thanks to a smart and well-padded child “pocket,” and I can carry her in comfort thanks to a well-designed yoke that makes sure most of her weight sits on my hips instead of my back.
There are a plethora of pockets, plus a zip off pack which will hold a myriad of necessary child accessories, like bottles, binkies and bags of Cheerios.
This pack aint cheap, but you should be able to get a couple of solid years of use out of it. Making it a good investment for both you and your little one. And the bag is rated for a not so little one approaching the 30 and 40 pound range.
The best part is that Lulu loved it. She cooed and laughed the whole time and we have already planned more adventures.
The Scoop:
- Carries well
- Plenty of pockets for all the baby essentials
- Lulu loved it
