Gear Up for Summer Adventures with Baby

On your summer to do list? Hike, bike, camp and hit the beach - all with baby in tow. This list of smart gear makes it easy.

If you love hiking, biking, camping and taking full advantage of the summer season, there’s no reason to let your new little family member slow you down. You can raise an adventurous baby, enlisting him as your sidekick, with some genius baby gear — from bike seats that let you keep an eye on your little one (and his on you) to a collapsible activity seat that’s easy to pop up for fun wherever you are.

For Hiking With Baby

Want to take your baby on a serious hike? We're talking logging lots of miles and elevation. Swap your regular carrier for a frame carrier like the Kelty Journey 2.0, designed to take the load off for the long haul. We like that this one can adjust for both different caregivers heights, as well as your baby's height as she grows. Cool features include storage pockets, toy loops, a hydration compartment and a sun hood to help baby stay cool and shaded.

Available at amazon.com, $199.33.
