What is a hiking baby carrier?
The hiking baby carrier is a tool made of metal frame, fabric and straps, and is especially designed for those who enjoy long walks. Its advantage is that it allows parents to walk long distances and venture into inaccessible places with a young child.
This type of carrier is recommended for children around nine months of age, so that they can see what is around them and so that they are protected from the heat of the carrier. You can equip it with other accessories, such as a sun protector, rain protector, etc., which will provide more comfort and practicality.
Which hiking baby carrier to choose?
The choice of a baby carrier for hiking is based on several important criteria:
Ergonomics It is important that the baby's head is well supported, and that he adopts a position that respects a close angle of 90° between the chest and the legs. The baby's posture and curvature should be neither too straight nor too curved.
The breathabilityThe best choice is a baby carrier with an efficient ventilation system, as the child is very sensitive to heat. Thus, a good baby backpack should be equipped with a ventilation system, so that the child sweats less and gets rid of the remaining sweat.
The security Your baby carrier should be accessorised with a sun shield to protect the child from UV rays and rain. Other models are also equipped with an adjustable lumbar belt, depending on the child's morphology.
The comfort A good fit is an important criterion for both the wearer and the baby in question. It is important that the tool conforms to the baby's morphology and that the frame is adjusted to the wearer's physiology.
The lightness For more practicality, opt for a lightweight model, because a heavy baby carrier will be an additional hassle when added to the various loads that must be carried on the trip.
The tool storage When choosing a folding baby carrier, there are various models with folding frames for easy storage and transport.
