So,checked the little Littlelife out in Keswick and we were wondering if you had any recommendations or tips for choosing one. We are keen walkers here(UK) and on the continent (Italy,Slovenia,Spain). There don't seem to be too many models and makes but as I aside your experience with them would be helpful. TIA

You really have to go to a good climbing shop that has a wide range, and try them on with weight inside, the fit makes a huge difference to if you will enjoy carrying a child around,

No one in their right mind would buy a rucksack without checking the fit, how it sits on your back is so important,

we used back packs a lot, we went through quite a few, DH who is very tall found one type suited him, I used another,

^^ I would try these, don't forget to get the sun rain cover, they are really exposed up there. German made sacks are really good.
