I apologize if this is a silly question

My husband loves to do activites outdoors, especially hike. He is excited to take DD hiking this summer, which is totally fine with me. Would using a baby carrier (front) work fine or should we invest in a jogging stroller? I am afraid I will fall if I am wearing her! Sorry if this is a dumb question, I just wanted to hear your opinions. Thanks ladies!!

    Depends the trails. We like the jogging stroller because honestly LO gets heavy quick in the carrier (and she's only 17th percentile lol). So I say wear her for some short walks and see how heavy she feels.

    It is interesting that you asked this question since my DH and I are hikers, too. I have the same concern about tripping and falling while wearing baby. We do have a jogging stroller, but haven't taken it on any trails yet. Sorry I don't have any advice y

    I think it depends how rustic the trails are. If its a park setting with paved or relatively well maintained multi-use paths the stroller would definitely be the way to go, also because youd have a place to stow your water bottles, phone etc. But if you a

    We hike with a Boba 3G (backcarry) and a Kelty hiking pack. Both are comfortable but we like to use the Kelty on more moderate/difficult trails. With flat trails we wear the Boba with no fear. The Kelty has a harness and is a hard frame, so if you were to

    If wherever you are hiking Is smooth and flat enough for a stroller, I'd guess that the risk of falling would also be low. So, whatever you find easiest, I guess!

    I would think that a carrier could be a lot easier esp on uneven terrain.

    If you're worried, take LO on a fe

    I prefer carrier after trying both options out.  Carrier allows me to nurse LO easier if a longer hike and easier to switch and take turns.  The stroller had a terrible time with the rugged path and log steps on the trails we frequent.  I t

    Unless the path is paved or really well maintained gravel, the stroller won't work.  We have two carriers, though we haven't bought a structured one yet.  My husband prefers a Bjorn and I use a moby though the moby is harder as she gets heavier.
