For hiking with children
Hiking trails for children
Hiking with children can be particularly enjoyable – if you take children’s needs into account. This primarily depends on the age of the children and their hiking experience. As soon as children can sit, they can be taken along for hiking. There are so-called from different manufacturers "Kraxen". This is a kind of backpack that adults can carry on their backs. What is usually the big luggage compartment in a hiking backpack is specially processed as a seat for children in the Kraxen. The little ones can sit well padded until they are three years old. From 2 years of age it becomes very tiring for the wearer due to the weight and the hikes do not last that long. – Because of the required condition, but also because of the health of the child. The little ones should not sit in the kaxx continuously for more than one to one and a half hours. The blood circulation is not perfect, especially in the legs. When walking with the Kraxe, it should be noted that the children are attracted to the temperature. Since they don’t move in the back of the child carrier like we hikers, it quickly becomes a lot colder for them than for us. The cold wind has a double effect. A summer hike can be done with ease, in the colder autumn days or spring days a Kraxe is to be used with special care during a spring hike or autumn hike.
