My baby's gonna be a hiker!

The picture above was taken 2/28/10 (22 weeks)

I'm not just excited to have a baby boy, I'm excited to get back on the trails with him and get him to experience one of the best parts of my world. But since kids don't pop out walking, I've discovered that there are thousands of parents just like me out there who have child carriers made for hiking. Now it's been my personal mission to find the perfect hiking child carrier to get back on those trails asap.

Babies "R" Us, the only place to register in my area, only sells one hiking pack: a Kelty FC 3.0 Child Carrier in the color- blueberry (which I love). But I want to be sure it's going to be good since as of right now it looks like this carrier is 7 pounds without a baby in it!



I've been taking a look around online, but I'm swamped! Any suggestions to give me a direction on this would be great!
