HIKING IN MAINE - STALLION

Stallion Child Carrier Stallion Child Carrier

Stallion Child Carrier

"We're nearing the end of carrying our son in the Stallion as he approaches his fourth birthday. Though we said that last year and my husband keeps using it for longer hikes that Toby can't yet do. It has served us well and still looks brand new. The storage area has been great. There have been trips through this spring (no photos of those as I was not along) and I am guessing there will be a few more for as long as Daddy's back holds up. Here are photos of Toby through the years. Time passes too quickly.

First photo is at 7 months, second at 12 months, third at 13 months (first camping trip), fourth at two years, fifth at three years (and still able to fall asleep in the pack!). Most of these photos were taken in Maine."

ONE OF THE REMOTEST CORNERS OF THE PLANET - KID CARRIER

Kid Carrier Child Carrier


"I work with Great Game Travel Afghanistan. We run trekking operations in the Wakhan Corridor of Afghanistan and the Pamir Mountains that border Tajikistan, China and Pakistan. I typically go with my family into the region once or twice a season. I have a Kid Carrier that we used last year with our son... There are long days and some rugged terrain...so we like be able to carry the boys at least part of the way. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that we love your packs and I wanted to attach a picture from last year. Our son, Aedan, is riding with a local Wakhi guide. He rode about 6 hours in it that day...through streams and over several high passes (14,000ft). He sang and laughed the entire way. The Wakhi people thought the pack was great. You can now say that your pack has gone to one of the remotest corners of the planet and admired by incredible mountain people.

A LITTLE HELP ON THOSE LONG DAY HIKES - DOG PERCH

Dog Perch Backpack  Dog Perch Backpack

"...We recently bought a tough traveler dog perch pack. Our dogs are 11 and 12 years old, and need a little help on those long day hikes. We tried it out for the first time last week at Grayson Highlands in SW VA. This worked perfect! The dogs loved it and one of them fell asleep while we were hiking. I only bought one pack, so the dogs have to take turns. I may well end up purchasing a second pack for my wife to carry! Thanks!!!"

"We purchased a Stallion child carrier about a year ago.   We've used the backpack hiking in the Adirondacks, but we get the most use from our carrier navigating the urban jungle of New York City where we live.  The baby carrier has been indispensible this tough, snowy winter, as a stroller is impossible to use on the slushy, messy streets.  A backpack is also the best way to take our son safely on the subway...."  Becky Schwig, Feb. 03.

I have two daughters, both of them really enjoyed the great time in this carrier (the Montana) while hiking with us in Taiwan.... Thanks again, if there is not your baby carrier, it is impossible for our family to have the fantastic experience of hiking with kids.  We still go hiking almost every weekend through the whole year.
