baby hiking backpack kelty image
*My precio
I wanted to go hiking in a few months when it gets a little warmer but I have a 13 month baby. It would be uncomfortable to carry him the whole time, but i can't get a babysitter because all my family live out of the state. So can you use a stroller while hiking?
Answer
It depends.
Certainly a toddler (that's right you don't have a baby anymore!) can handle bouncing around in a stroller although if the terrain is too lumpy (covered in rocks, trees, etc.) you're going to struggle with a stroller. But if the hike is more like a hard-pack dirt path then definitely a stroller can be great!
I have a Bob stroller which I love. The bigger wheels make it easy to navigate obstacles on the path. They aren't cheap however :P I would definitely suggest investing in a decent jogger if you plan to do lots of hiking with it. Your traditional 4-wheel stroller (the kind you use at the mall) is probably going to struggle if you try to take it off-road.
I also have a Kelty backpack which kills - KILLS - my back so I also prefer the stroller. Our Kelty has almost never been used.

Does anyone have any more feedback on car seats and strollers?

Kelty Kids has a backpack convertable stroller that is nice to use if you encounter stairs. My combi drags behind from my right hand, with my child flexed tightly in my left arm whenever there is no elevator around. The Kelty is 8lbs and around $125 -200 depending on the model you get from Sportsman Warehouse. There are businesses that will match prices in the area, such as Alpine Experience. I'm ready to advance to this type of system since I'm more active now six months post childbirth and this will allow me to go hiking. My Combi stroller/car seat was about $300, but came with a well-constructed car seat that easily came in and out of the base, which remained stationary in the car. This could easily be removed from the car and placed in my stroller in minutes.

If you can use it as a car seat and a stroller you are saving time and money.
