RE: Which Kelty backpack to get?
LOOOOOOOOOOOVE our ridgeline!!!!!!!
we haven't done any major hiking, but dh had it on for 5 miles recently and was very comforable. i wore it for about an hour two days ago while coaching field hockey and was totally happy the whole time i had it on. ds is about 20 lbs and you can't feel the weight at all. and he LOVES it. even if he is cranky and tired, he still laughs up there.
a tip- we shove a towel around his front and the sides to keep him straight up. ds is not yet 6 months and can't quite sit up on his own. so the towel keeps him from flopping over to one side to hang out and chew on the backpack.
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. think everyone should have a backpack. and mr baby is SO SO SO cute it in, i can hardly stand it. if i had a digial pic and not a "real" pic i would post it.
can't go wrong with either pick, i don't think. just get one! :)
(ps we are big bjorn fans and still use it... but we are so excited about the backpack, we use it for walks now instead of the bjorn or the jogger.)
