Having a young child doesn't mean you can't travel or go hiking with them — you just need to be properly equipped and avoid planning trips that are too demanding to keep them safe. On the kit side, solutions exist to carry your baby easily and with maximum comfort: on your backpack with a suitable baby carrier and any optional accessories! Find out how you can carry your baby while travelling or hiking with this type of baby carrier and what optional accessories you can add for their comfort.
There is also a sun visor that can be quickly fitted to all Deuter child carriers using buckles. This fairly generous canopy will protect your child from UV rays and provide a very pleasant shaded space. When no longer needed, it can be folded away and stored easily to avoid any bulk.
Likewise, there is also a premium rain cover that provides full protection against rain and wind! It is a very useful accessory as soon as the weather turns and even when the temperature drops slightly, it shields your baby from the first chills. Fairly lightweight yet resistant, this 165-gram cover fits very easily onto all carrier frames equipped with a canopy and can be fitted in just a few seconds. In addition, the baby's visibility is ensured thanks to transparent panels and functional ventilation to prevent excessive condensation.
Finally, it is also worth noting the option to add a washable, adaptable cushion to ensure an ergonomic seat for your child as they grow. Plenty of comfort for the baby carrier. There is also a adjustable footrest in height, preventing your child's feet from dangling in mid-air (which tires them and is also uncomfortable for the wearer). These buckles can be adjusted to fit different children's sizes and shoes.
It will therefore be possible to go hiking with a young child thanks to this type of baby carrier. However, care should be taken regarding the terrain chosen and the distance from inhabited areas. A child remains vulnerable in the event of a health issue, and it is important to hike with them over shorter distances than between adults, and in areas where emergency services can intervene quickly.
A baby carrier on a backpack
To offer your child a perfect seat and safe transport when walking in town or on the trails, nothing beats a baby carrier on backpack. The baby carrier made by backpack brand Deuter offers a fully secure and easy-to-use seat. It is possible to place the baby in from above while carrying the child, or from the side if the child is old enough to walk (or with assistance). A very easy-to-use safety belt system is included, and the colour coding on the buckles makes adjustments straightforward. The height can also be adjusted once the child is seated, with minimal effort. Furthermore, the system weighs less than 2.5 kg, which is very acceptable. It is also possible to adjust the back length very quickly to adapt the carry to either parent without difficulty. Elastic pockets are also provided to carry a few items such as a bottle, toys or various small objects. A large elastic, breathable mesh pocket is located under the seat with a quick drawstring and hook closure. Another large elastic pocket is positioned at the front. The overall ventilation is high-performance, as the straps are perforated and allow the back and chest of the wearer to breathe. An adjustable cushion is also supplied to ensure a proper seat. An height-adjustable footrest with a setting option is available to perfect the baby's seating position. Children also perspire less thanks to the mesh panels on the sides ensuring good ventilation of the interior space. And once you arrive at your destination or during breaks, the whole unit is easy to set down on the ground thanks to the locking feet, which transform the baby carrier into a comfortable and stable chair.Handy optional accessories
