cheap baby backpack carriers image
Alice
My daughter is 13 months - 22 lbs and still isn't walking. But, my husband and I love to hike. We are looking for a good/inexpensive hiking baby carrier. Preferably one for the back. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Answer
We had a Kelty Pathfinder Carrier that we got at REI eons ago. We loved that in addition to being adjustable for the child, it was really easy to switch the torso length of the backpack so my husband and i could trade off carrying. Walk around a store with your child in tow and see how it feels. A padded hipbelt and auto kickstand are must-haves, but other features we liked were the removable/easily foldable sunshade (great for wind and minor drizzle too), a padded front bar - you'd be amazed how easily your child will sleep back there, zippered pockets on the belt and shoulder straps so we could easily access items on the trail without removing the backpack (snacks, gps, phone), The zip off backpack for storage worked great so when we were hiking together we could each carry some of the load, but if either of us was hiking alone with the child (or the other one was carrying gear as we backpacked) we could have the essentials (diaper, change of clothes, food, first aid kit) with the baby. I'd search Craigslist for a good one at a discount rather than buy a new one that has less features or is cheaper.
Hints: A small hand mirror in the front hipbelt is great for checking on the baby while hiking (Is she still wearing her hat? Is she sleeping?) Sometimes you want the sunshade as a barrier to prevent hair pulling... if your little lady is anything like my second (not a problem with my first).

I have a 6 month old what do I bring on a plane for her?

What do I need to bring on a plane and to the airport for her? Like do I need a form of identification showing she is my baby? Do I need a docs note saying it's ok for her to fly? Also we do not have the same last name. Does her carrier get checked with the luggage?....
Answer
1. Bring a backpack and fill it with awesome stuff like coloring books, and maybe a toy plane that looks like the one you're on. The cheap toy aisle at Wal Mart is great for this kind of stuff. Make discovering what's in the backpack an activity to be saved for the plane ride.
2. No, you don't need a doctors note.
3. It doesn't even have to be your child. As long as the tickets go together you should be fine. That's how my son went with me, and home with his grandparents.
4. Carrier's only get checked if you want them too. MOst people are allowed one carry on, for a backpack, large purse, or tote that fits in an overhead.
