Haven't used it hjntknt yet but have climbed The Mount track and other tracks countless times with my eldest son using the Macpac Possum child carrier.

Has the proper harness system so very comfortable to wear. Boy loves being in it.

Front pack like this one for under 6 months - awesome bit of kit - this is the oldest boy - my latest one on the deck is 7 weeks old so he'll be coming out just after xmas. This front pack you can have them facing forwards easily and comfortably too.

I've got a Macpac Vamoose. It's awesome. Enough storage to carry a bit of kit fo the kid, and to bone out and animal and fit the meat in too. This is also my oldest boy at about 7-8 months, we'd just shot a deer and were heading down to it.

Also got one of these;

Never used it, its brand new. I'd probably sell it if someone wanted it.

The oldest is just over 2 now, it's much harder to take him proper hunting as he's too big to carry long distances - or doesn't want to be, but too small to walk through rough going and long grass etc.

Fun times though. Kids absolutely love it.

Yeah you're to blame for me buying a vamoose. Daughter isn't quite big enough yet though.

When our son was younger we used a front pack similar to the one JoshC shows. its great as they snuggle in and often sleep the whole time.

Our second son who is 6 week old is living in our front pack. seems to be one of the only ways he will sleep properly during the day...

If you’re shooting with a baby on board what do you do for ear protection? Do they make em that small??

Just the pelto kids ones, they're mint, I wear them on the lawnmower! Haha. Kids seem to not mind wearing them.

I used a macpac vamoose for years with my two boys. I only used a 22 with suppressor so didn't worry about hearing protection for my boys.

Cool stuff guys! Mine are all big now so they can just use mine.

Take my little girl out hunting and fishing in a macpac.She was in a front pack before this,which was probably abit safer with flys whistling past her ears.

Wicked cheers all

@JoshC is the macpac better than the osprey?

Sorry don't know, never even tried the osprey on. It's certainly well built.

We had a Phil and Teds. Used it until he turned 2,5.
