Chicco backpack carrier rules

This past weekend, we went hiking. All four of us--Andy, Ivan, Mariposa and myself--like one big family.

We put Ivan in the Chicco carrier I purchased a few weeks back especially for this purpose, after a long search for this back pack product.

And although it was Andy, not myself who actually used it, I think it was great. At least he seemed to like it.

I had been waiting for us to be able to go in the trail together. Since Ivan's been born, hiking along the trail had really become an Andy/Mariposa activity because we couldn't join them. ALthough earlier in the summer, Andy went alone with the two of them and carried Ivan in his arms all the way. (I'm not sure what we was thinking there and how his arms made it.)

Hopefully, we'll make it a weekend activity now like it used to be before Ivan was born.
