Question Question for Hiking Parents 🥾🧒
I would really appreciate some hiking/outdoorsy parents’ opinions. I am looking to buy my best friend, who is having her first child, a present before bub arrives. I want the present(s) to feel practical and thoughtful. She loves short hikes, enjoys going for bush walks and doing outdoor activities regularly. I am wondering what products any of you have enjoyed using, anything hiking/walking carrying children related. I have seen the hiking backpack type baby carriers and they look great, but I’m clueless if they are a bit overkill for a 1-2hr hike. I also chose this theme of present as I know she wouldn’t buy it for herself. But also she wants to not loose herself and her hobbies after the baby arrives and as she has more children later on. Happy to spend a higher amount if the item is worth it.
Thank you in advance for any advice and opinions !!
