It is interesting to see how this discussion is going. Almost all women
are positive about the idea and men are less so. And, it is NOT true
that the child safety is paramount, because it must be that the ADULT
safety is paramount. After all, if the adult falls down a cliff, so does
this child. And, I think that a rational person doing field work in
difficult terrain is probably also doing their best to make sure that
their own safety, and thereby the safety of others along, is insured.
I second the motion that we can assume that the parent who asks what is
a good baby carrier is a rational person interested in insuring their
own, and their baby's, survival. And, I think that we need a system in
which marriage or kids is NOT a detriment to their careers.

I originally responded only to Simone personally. But, I now see a need for
wider discussion. I agree with Hal Caswell and others who have said that child
safety is paramount. If at all possible, another approach should be considered.
