Paddle? We just had a baby
As an outfitter we hear lots of reasons why people aren´t taking a canoe trip this year. One we hear quite often is
that, "we just had a baby." Well we had a baby last November and did not want this to keep us from taking a canoe
trip this season. We thought Abigail would enjoy herself and it turned out to be an awesome experience for all of
us. Although taking an infant on a trip may not be for everyone there are a few things that can make the experience
easier.
Here are some things we did to paddle with Abby...
-
We sat her in a Rubbermaid container to keep her dry and somewhat immobile. It also allowed her to sit up with
her life vest on.
- We had her get used to wearing her lifevest around the house prior to the trip.
- We tied toys to the side of the canoe so when she did decide to throw them overboard they were not lost forever.
- We kept snacks and beverages handy.
- We kept portages to a minimum and paddling time short to keep her interested.
- We brought along extra paddlers to help out. A grandma does wonders in the middle of the canoe.
- Use all other paddling common sense and wear hats, sunscreen, bug repellant and netting.
