Camino Frances with Thule buggy

[KDoe]

Hi,

We are doing the Camino Frances in June with our little one. We plan on doing it with a Thule buggy, link here - https://www.halfords.com/baby-and-c...e-2-jogging-stroller----jet-black-630598.html

I just wanted some advice on whether you think this is ok on the trail.

Thanks!

You might want to watch the movie 6 Ways to Santiago to get feel for some terrain to navigate with a baby buggy. A woman and her toddler are using one on one of the story lines.

Yes, absolutely. With that, I have had 3 children, I would have done it. There may be a few minutes of having to carry it because of steepness, roots, steps, stepping stones, etc. but with two of you and every other pilgrim near you you can do it. I met two guys, one in a wheelchair, and we all helped on the difficult bits that day.

It's something to lean on too, so in fact it might be easier.

One thought--something jet black might be very hot for them given the season. Any way of, without adding much weight, having something light-coloured to mask some of the black, cut down heat absorption?

It can be REALLY hot!

Hi there!
I’d love to hear about your experience if the Camino with a child? We are thinking of doing a week or two with our (then 20 month old) in august/September 2023. Would be terrific to hear about your experience and any tips you gave.
Thanks!
Anna

This family (Dad, Mom, three young boys) made it to Santiago from SJPDP in 35 days pushing (pulling, dragging, being dragged by, etc) a giant stroller along roads, rocky trails, up mountains, down valleys, through towns with lots of uphill streets, etc. I love their spirit. It wasn't easy but they did it. It can be done. I would advise that you watch all of their Camino vlogs, they give a good idea of what you'll have to do. Good luck and Buen Camino.
