- St J P d P to Pamplona (August 2014)
I have been lurking on the forum for a while, and as everyone is so helpful, I would like to ask the following.
We were blessed with a new son last November, and we want to walk the Camino Frances over the next few years from SJPP - one or two weeks at a time, and aim to finish it sometime when he is between 6 and 8.
We do have a child carrier, but he is blossoming quickly and we are worried that by the end of May (when he will be over 6 months, so he can try food on the way) he will be too heave for us to carry - he is already approaching 9kg!
We do have a Britax b-smart offroad buggy, as we live in the country, but having seen some of the pictures I do not think we will be able to push / pull it along - and he would get rattled around a lot... OR can you recommend a section of about a week, only doing 50% to 75% of a 'standard' stage in a day, which is more buggy friendly? Or can you recommend a good comfortable carrier, for a child who will be around 9.5 to 10 kg?
In years to come when he will be able to walk a little more, we will probably bring a backpack carrier for him as well... This year we are going to stay in pensions/hostels too, to be considerate to those pilgrims who have had long days, so any recommendations to go along with the sections would be good.
Thank you in advance for your time and help, it is much appreciated.
