Walking with a kid on your shoulders

Anyone have a clue how to account for a kid on a piggy back ride while walking or hiking? Just curious. I went for a hike with the family and had my 30lb son on my shoulders for about half of it.

I'll take the free extra calories for sure. Just wondering if anyone else has a way to figure it out.

    I haven't personally logged it, but I have seen people log things like, "Hiking, carrying 10-15 pound load" See if it is in the database!

    Hmmm....you can always try an average of the calories for hiking without carrying a load and the amount for hiking while carrying a load? :)
