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 Trail Running With Baby

You love tossing your jogging stroller in the trunk and driving to rugged trails for a picturesque run with your baby. But you hate how your muddy stroller mucks up your trunk post run - or worse yet, your runner doesn't fit so wonderfully in your car. If this sounds like you, you need the Scout. This genius gadget attaches to your car's hitch to safely tote your jogging stroller outside where dirt, mud and space won't be an issue. Need a runner? Check out our favorite jogging strollers here.

Available at scoutfamily.com, $279 (pre-order).
