Is this breathable and sturdy enough to carry a toddler (25 lb one-year-old) on my back to hike?

Sturdy enough, yes. Breathable? Probably not. My child gets very sweaty if she's in it for a long time. While it is nice and compact, I do not think it is designed for hiking.

I'm sure my son and daughter-in-law still use it and their little guy is 18 months and quite the chunk.

It can take the weight, but you're going to want to plan on venting heat somehow - it's somewhat breathable, but both you and the one-year-old are likely to throw off a lot of heat on any significant hike. It'll be fine for a light-to-moderate hike in a cool climate, but too much for strenuous hiking or hot weather.

Yes, it is very durable. I love this carrier my husband and I both use it. Its true what the others say about the ventilation of the material. There is not much circulation in it, so if your hiking or exercising you and baby will warm up quickly, but if its chilly or kind of cold that's probably a good thing.

Depends how long you're going to hike...It's pretty breathe able but the straps aren't padded, also since baby is right next to your body it'll be hotter than a frame carrier. So they aren't as comfortable as other carriers for long times, because of no padding. That being said I have worn my 20lb 12 month old for some extended periods, usually on my front if she nurses and falls asleep. I really like my boba air, it comes in handy in lots of random situations.For long hikes we usually mostly use a frame backpack and stuff the boba air in a pocket if the backpack in case she gets fussy or wants to nurse.

Yes, our 13 month old is still wearing it comfortably. He weighs about 21 pounds and is in the 75th height percentile.

Yes, it would be sturdy enough for a toddler. We've had toy ones that have broken easily, but this one is still holding up well.

I took my daughter hiking a few times wearing her on my back. I can do it but my wife cannot. You also need a second person to help you get the child in and out

This bed has been great so far. I use it for camping. I'm 240 lbs and my son is about 80 lbs. The key with any air bed is to not over inflate.

Our baby is 25lbs now. We hike with her in the carrier. I just looked on the carrier, it's says the max weight is 25lbs.

Yes, it should be. It's big enough for our toddler who wears size 4 diapers and always has a sippy cup and tons of snacks in tow, as well as our newborn's supplies. And with everything packed, it still feels lightweight.

It should be fine. It reclines a bit, but not all the way flat, so as long as he's got some decent neck control or you put in a head support it will be fine. Honestly the stroller pushes a LOT better when the heavier kid sits in the back, but the back seat is the only one that adjusts. It is a really good travel stroller tho, especially if you're tight on trunk space

I have only put my kids in it after they were over a year- but I think it would work?! There was a recall a while ago, and they moved the 'mattress' to outside the tent. So I can't see choking hazard/ suffocation issues...My almost 4 year old usually still sleeps in his when we travel, so I can say it will last a long time!

Our daughter (now 14 months) is below the 5th % in weight and around 50th % in height (with a 95% head - go figure) and this vest worked well for her this summer (when she was much younger and smaller than she is now). I can say I would be confident using this vest on your 1 year old.

In my opinion, yes. It is a very sturdy bag so the con is the weight. I use it for two kids under two and it gets fairly heavy but the plus side is that it fits everything well!

It isn't breathable material, but it is also pretty stable. I don't think an older baby would get smooshed into the edges. However, I also don't think it would fit well for a mobile baby. Our son grew out of it in about 3 months. It was simply too narrow for him to sleep comfortably.

It is a great bike trailor for my one year old, but probably a tight fit for a 3 year old and it does not recline so as a walking stroller it may not be ideal

Yes, definitely! This stroller is a great purchase, especially for the price. My son is 26 lbs and very comfy in the stroller.

I believe its good for older toddlers above 2 years old. Not for younger baby. I would not feel comfortable doing a hardcore mountain bike ride with kids in the back but that is just me. My husband and I don't take our kids on our mountain bikes expeditions except on gravel roads or sidewalks.

The front seat falls a little into the back seat but toddler should fit. My son is 35lbs and fairly tall for a 2yr old and he fits. I wouldn't plan long hikes with this set up but running errands, going to the park, etc it works fine. I really, really like this stroller.

Absolutely not! It is not designed for that kind of weight load. A camera with too big of a zoom or telephoto lens would be too much on it, much less a hiker putting their weight on it. You'll need to get a hiking staff that's made for hiking. Good question though, not a bad idea either.
