Q. I would be all by myself with DS to travel from India to US by Feb 2013. He's is not used to sit in stroller. Am also in a dilemma about the stroller option since am worried if I have to carry him just in case, then stroller will be an added weight.
thanks!
thanks!
Answer
Yes.
Honestly I love my Ergo. We have 2 so that my husband can wear one and I can wear one, back when we only had 2 kids my daughter liked riding backpack style on Daddy during hikes, while I carried my son. It goes to 40lbs, front carry, side carry, and backpack carry, so it worked very well. I just had my third, and I'm looking forward to carrying her.
I don't know how old your child is, but with my kids I had considered getting a double-stroller when my second was born because she was just a little over 2 and wouldn't walk far, she always rode in the stroller. Instead I tried the Ergo thinking it would be a bit cheaper just for 6 months or so. Instead I used the Ergo up until the week I found out I was pregnant. After about a year old my son wanted to ride in the stroller, so my daughter would walk and if she got tired I'd put her on my back and she could then ride home. It gave her the freedom to walk, but also be able to ride if she got tired, and she LOVED being able to talk right into my ear rather than me being behind her pushing the stroller which made for great nature walks.
Since the Ergo was lightweight, easy to pack, all fabric so it is compact... we took it EVERYWHERE. The stroller was alright, but the Ergo was simpler and easier to bring. If I had one child, I definitely would skip the stroller and just use an Ergo, especially on trips.
Something else to keep in mind, every time I took a stroller on an airplane it was broken. The Ergo, on the other hand, I packed in our carry-on and had right there as soon as I needed it.

I'm looking for a hiking baby carrier?
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).
