We are traveling to Maui for a week with our 9 month old son in a couple of weeks. We bought a Kelty Backpack Carrier for hikes and the trek through the airport, but we also have an Ergo. Should we bring both on the trip, or is the Kelty enough?
Also, would it be foolish to leave the stroller at home? We have a Maclaren Ryder stroller, and though it's not huge, we'd like to minimize luggage. We figure that, worst case scenario, we can drop into a Wal-Mart and buy a cheapie stroller?
Also, our son currently rides in a Britax Marathon, but we don't want to bring that on the trip because it's huge. What is a safe, but cheaper and lighter, alternative? Can I just rent one through the car rental company? Should I just buy one when I get there (I won't need it on the plane)... Of course, if I buy one there, I will need to wait at the airport while my husband runs to Wal-Mart to pick up the car seat, baby food, formula, etc.... Too bad I can't order one shipped to the airport or something!
Thanks.
