We recently acquired a Kid Comfort I, the Deuter, a type of backpack / harness for transporting children on trails, very common in the U.S. and Europe.
At first I thought it needed a little time to adapt. To my surprise, the adaptation was very quiet - of course I was a "backpack" around, helped! - I've even made a slight hike in Monte Verde smoothly.
It is clear that Thomas loved the idea because the child is at the top, and following up all the movements of his father, besides being able to pick up twigs, leaves, etc..
With this experience I separated a few tips for those who will use the same method:
- The chairs for children using the same structures Cargo mountaineering backpacks, so the rule of equalization of weight (to keep the children at the center of the seat to prevent further weight to only one side) and regulation system remain the same.
- Attention to spend indoors, doors, trees, places or even lower in fast movements, because we have a habit of mind we now have a nice "hump" on the back.
- Fit the girth (waist back) so that the child's weight is properly distributed on the hips.
- Adjust the shoulder straps, ensuring that the seat be neither too far nor too near the body.
- Another tip is to get the sunscreen Sunroof Raincover , which was very helpful on sunny days and even a walk in the neighborhood of freedom in that much rain at one point of the ride.
+ Tips
- Stay tuned kids, not letting it get exposed to sun, rain and wind. Pass the sunscreen and keep children protected with sweaters (if necessary)
- Bring a small pillow (or cushion) to sleep when the child because she ends up having no where to support the head.
- Use the pockets to put the bottle and kit Father .
- Attention to lower, not to hit the child on other objects
- Learn to position your feet and enjoying the body weight of the chair to give a push or hold the body on land more "delicate."
