2011 Vermont Sports Holiday Gift Guide

http://vtsports.com/2011-vermont-sports-holiday-gift-guide

Holiday shopping time is here. And we’re pleased to bring you our annual holiday gift guide, certainly one of the funnest stories we put together each year.

We’ve culled a selection of outdoorsy products for a range of ages, interests, and budgets. New this year, we’re listing local shops who carry these brands.

On behalf of the Vermont Sports community, may you have a merry and meaningful holiday!

Piggyback RiderWhen young kids are walking, but can’t quite complete a full hike, parents are left to carry little bodies up and down the trail. The Piggyback Rider allows parents to transport kids in a piggyback style, but because children stand on a bar instead of wrapping their legs around mom or dad, their weight is better distributed. Kids are strapped in via a harness, and sit higher than a regular piggyback ride, offering safety and giving them a better view. The best part is: Adult hands remain free. For ages 2½ and up; up to 60 pounds. $79.99. —SBG
