Does anyone use a backpack baby carrier for their toddlers for shopping? I don't do much hiking, and I use a stroller to take her on walks. So I would just use it to take her where I don't want her to run around.

Is it safe to get into? Is there a risk of dropping her while putting the backpack on? Any other uses for this? Any suggestions for brands? I heard Tough Traveler is good. Thanks.

I love my backpack for shopping, and I can still carry my soon to be 3 year old. This is the one I have http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524441776409&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302735239&bmUID=1160421939450 . We bought it almost 5 years ago when our oldest was the right size for it. It still looks brand new. I used it for shopping and long walks, my husband uses it for hiking. Have fun!

I have a 5" sheathed knife with the whole camping kit built in, compass, matches, everything, and will be using it to gut fish etc.

Is it legal to carry it on my person? It will be in my backpack the majority of the time.

Thanks for any advice
U should be ok, it is unlawful to carry an offensive weapon in a public place so really up to any police whether they deem it an offensive weapon. If you are genuinely using it as part of the trek then you will be fine. If you were walking around town with it in your hand that would be a different matter.
