Hi,
I'll be heading to Maui for a vacation with my wife and young son (15 months/25 pounds). On day trips we've always used a stroller. But I was thinking of trying out one of those carriers. I hear a lot about Kelty.
1) But is this something I can check on board or best to pack in a suitcase ? I'm not sure how 'collapsable' these things are, or they can easily damaged if checked on board.
2) Are there any 'travel lite' kind of carriers which are worth considering, or brands worth considering ?
One reason I was thinking of a carrier instead of using a stroller a lot, was to head to the beach. Our stroller currently just digs into the sand, and just gets stuck. Besides I was thinking a carrier would at least allow my hands to be free ,and my son would have a great view
3) Are these carriers quick to adjust, so I can swap easily, quickly and safely with my wife ?
4) Do you really pay for what you get e.g solid construction. Any brands to consider
Sorry I know, a lot of general questions. But I'm not very good at shopping for these things. Thanks
