Hiking Backpack & Child Carrier Rentals in Squamish & Whistler

Squamish is called the Outdoor Recreation Capital of Canada, and a baby or toddler doesn’t have to keep you off the trails. A framed hiking backpack carrier puts your little one up high with the view, keeps your hands free, and saves you buying (and storing) a carrier you’ll only use for a few seasons.

Our child carrier rentals in Squamish are delivered free to your vacation rental, and we deliver across the Sea to Sky. Heading to Whistler? Pick one up free from our Squamish porch on the drive up, or get Whistler delivery.

Our Child Carriers

Which Carrier Should You Rent?

MEC Shuttlecraft

Our go-to carrier. Comfortable on everything from a short lakeside loop to a full-day hike, and just as handy for walks around town. From $15/day. MEC Shuttlecraft rental details

Osprey Child Carrier

Another solid hiking carrier, with an adjustable fit for different-height parents. From $15/day. Osprey carrier rental details

Both of our carriers are framed hiking backpacks, so your little one rides up high and the hip belt takes most of the weight. Framed carriers suit children from about 6 months, once they can sit up unassisted with good head control, up to about 4 years. Always check the carrier’s weight limit.

Family-Friendly Trails for Your Carrier

Tips for Hiking with a Carrier

  • Snug the hip belt so it carries most of the weight.
  • Use the sunshade. Little ones get more sun up high than you do.
  • Pack an extra layer for your passenger, who isn’t moving and gets cold faster.
  • Plan for an hour or two, with snack and stretch breaks.

Why Rent a Hiking Carrier for Your Squamish or Whistler Trip?

If you’re looking for a way to bring your little one out on your next trip to Squamish or Whistler but a stroller isn’t suitable, a child carrier backpack is a great option. It keeps your hands free and your little one close, whether you’re wandering the Squamish Farmers Market or heading out on a forest trail. If you’re an active parent wanting to get out with your kids, renting an MEC or Osprey carrier is the perfect solution.
