Snowshoeing

Zippydoo · February 2012

With a baby? What do you think? I enjoy snowshoeing and my husband wants to take babykins with us and place her in the baby packpack.

I would absolutely have done that this year if we had any darned snow. We've only been able to get out once, and it happened to be on a day DD was spending with my parents.

For us it would depend on the length of the trip - for a short trip we probably would have put her in her little sled and pulled her. Anything longer than a half hour or so and we would have taken turns with her on our backs.

I think as long as you dress LO warmly enough and keep everyone fed and hydrated, it should be fun!

We take our LO in our hiking backpack. I would never go alone with her, on an unmarked trail, or when it's snowing & your tracks could get covered. Just follow the basic safety guidelines, and it'll be fun!

We did last year. She was about three months old. It was warm out and we had a lot of snow. I took our Maman Kangourou carrier and we built a fire in the woods.

As you can see, she didn't mind:

Ok I am feeling more reassured and now I am getting excited!

Go for it. I was out with C for 1.5 hours on Sunday. I just bundle him up (they aren't moving so dress them on the warmer side), and put him on my back in the ergo. We haven't had a tonne of snow but we have been out 1/2 a dozen times this winter. C loves it, he like to look around, and has even fallen asleep back there. We had a lot more snow last winter and went 1-2 times a week with him, I just wore him in a front carrier under my coat. We are planning on rigging up a sled with a hard pole for him next winter. Have fun.
