Gear req- Backpacking with toddler
What are we using these days for sleeping pads with toddlers? She’s got a kelty sleep sack that works well. She’s under two but we want to take some longer trips next spring. For car camping we just brought her pack and play but obviously won’t be carrying that stuff backpacking. I’m thinking she’ll be fine on my zlite sol CCF pad but curious other folks experiences. I think she’d probably roll off an air pad. I also thought about doing one of those double pads and having her sleep next to me.
My husband and I have pretty low base weights already and a lot of experience but our gear is very dialed to two adult hikers. I don’t want her being miserable and want her to like the experience so we are willing to carry a lot of extra weight to make that happen for her. She’s pretty happy with the osprey carrier we have and it’s got space for some gear too which is nice. One of us will carry her and a small amount of gear and the other will carry the rest. I’ll likely switch back to one of our heavier larger packs until she can reliably hike on her own.
We currently use a triplex for backpacking but I’m curious what other people are using for tents with a toddler (+2 adults). I can bring a tarp too for outside activities if it’s raining. But it gets pretty cramped in the zpacks with 3.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
