30 GENERAL CAMPING: We took our daughter both car camping and backpacking since she was 2 months old.
Backpacking she used to sleep in my husband's down coat;
car camping in a sleeping bag type blanket. We always put her between
us, but our friends, who we've camped with several times and who have
bags that zip together, always sleep with the mom in the middle. The
midquality Gerry carrier has always worked for us, even strapped onto
the back of a backpack. My husband has talked about changing the belt;
maybe with the next kid. Finally, I've never thought dirt was too good
to ingest -- isn't there lead and other bad things in it? On the other
hand, our friends, who are both chemist types, don't seem to be
bothered about it. We always bring an old shower curtain to put on the
ground; it's not exactly light for backpacking, but it is easy to
clean. Have fun! Kids love to camp!
