Two New Words: Baby Carrier
As your child grows, you realize that the Baby Bjorn is no longer the right size for your child. The child appears to be uncomfortable and for dads, you'll notice their feet can now reach an undesirable area.
At this point, it's time to move on to a baby carrier. I selected the Deuter Kid Comfort II Child Carrier - Titan (Google Affiliate Ad). The benefit of this baby carrier is the storage space for milk, snacks, diaper kits, and some small toys, if needed. As the baby carrier fits like a backpack, it has extra waist pads to make it more comfortable. It also has a stand so you can set it down without having your child fall over.
As with all carriers, the biggest benefit is that your arms are not tired by having to carry 20+ pounds of weight all day. However, you still get the benefit of 'walking with weights'.
With this new carrier, a great exercise is to go out on a hike.
Whether it be on a trek in a nearby nature park or canyon, or down the road to a neighborhood park, your child will enjoy the view while being perched several feet off the ground. At the same time, you can discover some new trails in the area and point out some flowers and birds to educate your little one.
