A Walk in the Park


Given Vera's adventure-spirited dad, it's no wonder Vera's getting her hiking training early.

Last weekend, we went to check out a section of the South Ridges Walk, a new trail through the foresty south-western part of Singapore.

Carrying all 5kg of her for nearly 2 hours, even with a sling, my back was aching and I had to see a chiropractor the next day. A walk in the park for her, but definitely not for me!

Hi Yin May,

Prob you would like to check out this baby carrier - ERGO.

It has thickly-padded shoulder straps with a belt to clip onto your hips. This design is such that the baby's weight sits on your hips, not your back, hence minimising back aches.
The baby is carried back-facing with legs rests on your waist.
It can carry weight up to 30pounds.
You can find it at METRO, $180+

Hope this carrier can minimise your back prob.

Take Care,
MP
