Hiking with your children in style just got a little easier

We're all native Kentuckians in my family (born and raised!) so we're looking forward to the time of year when we get to start hitting the trials and hiking around the state. Taking your children on these expeditions is a great way for the whole family to get exercise, enjoy the outdoors and experience some nature, but the younger ones can can get tired or unsure of the rough terrain. A regular baby carrier just doesn't cut it when hiking, and you need something that will keep all your gear and your kid safe. That's why we found the Sherpani Emi Baby Carrier.

The gear goes on back, the baby goes in front, and you feel like you're ready for anything. This is a better idea than separate bags or carrier that keep both baby and gear on one side, and since the weight is balanced from front to back, it'll be easier to hike when the trail goes vertical and will put less strain on your back.

Plus, you kind of feel like Rambo when you wear it. Rambo with a baby. That's right.
