Mrs Sherpa

As a parent, you absorb strange vocabulary: bumbo, mobi, pack'n'play, butt cream, and what not. A recent addition is the sherpani. It's a backpack for carrying a child. We spent a few hours at REI testing the various brands (Deuter was the most luxurious, Kelty was the most affordable, Sherpani was the lightest). And finally we went to Edwards Park today and lugged Vivian around on our backs for a test drive. She was mildly amused and Jo and I were quite pleased with the results. Watch out, Pinnacle Trail - here we come.
