Hiking with Your Child
My son is a super-trekker. He loves to walk off-road. As long as it’s not paved, he’s all for walking. If there’s pavement, he wants me to carry him. What’s the logic in that?!
In any case, hiking is definitely an activity that all families can enjoy. The folks at Stroller Hikes meet up every Tuesday in the San Francisco Bay Area to run or walk-run with baby joggers for 30-45 minutes. I’m more of a baby sling-type of gal so I don’t know if I would fit in, but if I were ever going to try it, I would study up at Stroller Hikes where Debbie has general information including
- Criteria for a baby-friendly hike
- Suiting up: preparing for hiking with baby
- Outdoor safety precautions: ticks and poison oak

One group of friends tried to get me to come to walk weekly with them in a more of a local park situation. I laughed when they told me they started at 8am. Surely, I thought they knew me better than that. ;)
