This year I'm planning to take my 5 year old on a hike for 3 days. I'll be carrying the majority of the stuff so need something a bit bigger than what I would need for myself.

IN a few years I'll probably be carrying the stuff for my son (now just about 3), but my daughter will be able to handle a bit more. I'd like something that I can also use on solo trips.

What would everyone recommend? What are your experiences?
