New Baby Carrier - Although the Deuter Kid Comfort II Child Carrier - Titan (Google Affiliate Ad) appeared to be more comfortable for the baby - with a wider seat, we exchanged it for the premium version of the Osprey Poco Plus Child Carrier - Romper Red (Google Affiliate Ad). The comfort for the parent was improved and the impact on the child's comfort was negligible. The carrier was otherwise comparable to the Deuter brand, but the premium Osprey version also has a built in rain / sun shade.
In addition to using the carrier for walks or hikes, if you have a lite dancing program and your child does not walk or crawl, you can strap them into your carrier as you do some low cardio moves. Alternatively, if your child does crawl or walk, they can try to follow along.
Check out some of the newer blog posts as we start to add some dance exercises. For now, jump around, do some turns, and flail your arms along to any beat and your child with follow along, and probably laugh, at your awkward new behavior.

Exercise With Your Baby - Suggestion 9: Hiking
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.
