>>2318590>I already knew about slingsI assumed not. Most normies don't bother with those, they just drive. You don't even see much strollers outside parks.
Super happy about your purchase, in terms of prepping it's another vital option.
Hiking carrier is the best for summer and older kids. The funniest part is you walk into stores, museums, talk with people and after 5 minutes only they realize you have kid sleeping in your back. Had it with my youngest.
I still favor front carrying for shorter distances as you can feed and calm down your baby. Also better for winter. Speaking of you need the thickest clothing for arms and legs. In carriers my kids use to have sweaty core but cold limbs. Must be blood circulation. Slings are the most painful, requires to put backpack down to make any adjustment, time consuming. We discarded the possibility after one bugging out drill. Pity because can be used as baby hammock, blankie and good for skin to skin contact when you try to bring down a fever without drugs
