This last Saturday was fun as we decided on a whim to hop in the car and take I66 to where it crosses the Appalachian Trail to go for a short hike. This was Miri's first time in the backpack carrier on a real hiking trail and for the most part she enjoyed it! It was a little uncomfortable for her at first because I had managed to get one of her legs trapped under her butt in the harness. Luckily, 10 minutes into the hike her mommy noticed that she only had one leg hanging down and after stopping for a quick adjustment, we resumed our hiking in full comfort with both legs in view. :)
The weather was fantastic and there wasn't a cloud to be seen. We put up the carrier's sun shade and it was perfect. It kept the sun off of Miri while still giving her a great view without feeling closed in.
She'd only get upset when I'd lean too far forward/back, had sudden
movements or when I crossed a raging river... er... little stream.
We all had a great time and are looking forward to a summer of mini hikes.
