Sherpani - Carriers for Backcountry use.

Sherpani is a company based in Boulder, Colorado that specializes in outdoor equipment. They have been making backpacks for hikers for many years and have recently introduced a line of child carriers for both city and backcountry use.

If you would like to take you child hiking with you, the Rumba model is the ideal child carrier for backcountry use. It is rated at 70 pounds and has several features that make it comfortable for both baby and parent. The suspension system is fully adjustable and can fit almost any sized torso -- from 16 inches to 22 inches.

This carrier can be adjusted as you are wearing it. There is no need to put your child down to make small adjustments to the harness system. In fact, it makes small adjustments by itself to provide the maximum comfort for Mom or Dad.

Safety features include a five-point harness system that supports your child in a comfortable upright position, and five padded harness straps for safety and comfort.

The Rumba is perfect for hiking or simply for taking your child to the shopping mall or on day excursions.

Also available from Sherpani is the Emi -- an infant carrier with a built-in day pack. This is a front carrier suitable for babies up to six months of age, and has an integrated backpack for carrying all the accessories necessary for your baby.

If you are looking for a carrier for bigger children, the Rumba Superlight is ideal for city use. It can carry kids up to 55 pounds in weight but weighs just 4 pounds 8 ounces. It has a storage compartment underneath the seat and there are stirrups to support your child's feet and promote circulation in the legs.

Sherpani also makes other products which make it convenient to take baby with you on excursions. They have two styles of travel bags which are suitable for carrying diapers and formula, and they also have a portable changing pad for changing diapers when you are on the road.
