Silly Momm
My husband and I are planning on doing some camping/backpacking once the weather warms up (it's still snowing where we live and we're beginning to wonder what Spring is) and we are in need of a baby/toddler backpack. My son is 10 months old and weighs in at a nice, healthy 35 pounds so an INFANT carrier is out of the question. He is much to heavy for those. I am referring to the ones with a large frame that carry ~50 pounds or more. I have no idea what names are good and reliable and research I've done hasn't turned up very good answers. Anyone with a suggestion, please let me hear it! Thanks!

We have a Kelty Kids backpack. It is wonderful. It is quite comfortable to wear, easy to put on and my son loves being in it (he's 14 months and around 25-30lbs). We camp and it is a lifesaver --- we bought it to use in place of our Ergo carrier on long hikes/camping.
It is like this one:

We managed to find a gently used one on craiglist for about half of the new price.

Would you take a baby Hiking carrier to DisneyWorld and use it?

Were attempting our tradition of taking our kids to Disney World and this time were taking 2 babies ages 9 months and 21 months. We have older kids going to help but with 2 babies Imnot sure whats easiest. 2 single strollers,or one double that one seat wont lay back all the way just angled and a carrier? The carrier is hiking style,light weight and comfy,canopy and all. Would it be hardest and can you wear it in lines for rides? How do you wait in lines holding babies?? Any info would be great in how you got around with babies. Thanks
Answer
a double stroller can be a challange when working your way through crowds and if you are going to have to bring a hiking carrier if you bring the double stroller then what is the point of using a double stroller anyways ya know?
whether you can bring the carrier in line and on the ride really depends on how big it is. if its no larger than a large backpack then you should be able to bring it on the rides (as longas you take the child out of it first) and you can set it on the floor or on the seat next to you.
personally i would just bring 2 single strollers. this way each baby has their own space and can lay back when they need a nap.
plus as light weight as they make carriers now its still not going to be a comfortable thing for you to have on your back with a 9 month old in it ALL DAY.
when you are waiting in line you can take turns with your husband with the 9 month old and the 21 month old should be able to stand/sit on the ground for the most part and be held in a line only when they start trying to wander away from you.
families do this literally EVERY DAY in disney world and it all works out fine and i'm sure your trip will be great!
