Baby Carriers for Hiking Buying Guide
If you're a lover of the outdoors and want your child to share your passion from the very beginning, there are many great baby carriers on the market designed specifically for hikers. Before purchasing, make sure that you pay close attention to the following product details and buy the right baby carrier for you and your child!
Carrier Type
A framed carrier will give the unit its own support and help alleviate the strain on
your back. For long hikes, this model type is highly recommended,
especially for heavier infants, which will feel twice as heavy after
an hour with a carrier designed for short walks around town.
Carry Position
For long hikes,
back-positioned units are ideal. Front units are great for shorter
hikes and allow you to keep a close eye on the infant, but become
cumbersome quickly and get in the way of your arm movement during an active walk or climb.
Infant Weight
Make sure the carrier
you purchase will safely carry your baby. If your baby falls outside of the
recommended weight range, it could put both you and your child at risk.
Canopy
This feature is essential to keep harmful sun rays off of your baby's vulnerable skin. Most hiking units come with them, but check to be sure.
