That looks very similar to what I had. I liked it. I rigged it up so I could use it in front when she was sleeping and I was hiking alone, but used it both ways. I like it being separate from my pack. I carried the daypack in front if she was on my back.

Cute as a button. Margaret used to be that cute. She still is, but she's grown some. We tried cigarettes and everything for awhile, but it didn't work.
