Before Dave gets a chance to write a blog on our new carrier I thought I’d get in there. We bought a Macpac Vamoose (see reviews at Planet Fear, and Mumsnet) last weekend and have now taken it out a few times. I took it out today at the army event at Ocknell as a sore throat meant I didn’t fancy running. So, pluses and minuses:
Pluses:
Emma seemed to like it and was happy whenever I looked at her in the handy pocket mirror; it has a handy pocket mirror; the straps are comfier than on our previous one; it looks good; hopefully it’ll last a while.
Minuses:
It was quite pricey and it’s relatively heavy, although Emma’s weight eclipses that.
3K round a yellow-standard course in the New Forest isn’t really a good test and our other walks were hardly mountainous but we’re relatively happy so far. We’ll see how it stands up to Norwegian weather and terrain in a few weeks’ time!
