One thing I’ve learned about toddlers who love running, kicking, cycling and climbing is they need durable footwear – which is exactly what the Keen Kids Targhee waterproof hiking shoes are.

The Robens Fairbanks Tipi tent is one of the best bits of outdoor gear we’ve ever reviewed on our blog. It looks cool, is easy to pitch and is perfect for family camping.

For families who travel, the Osprey Rolling Transporter 120 is a great bit of luggage. Tougher, lighter and more spacious than most suitcases, we use it for camping trips and overseas travel.

If you want to get outside as a family this winter you need gear that’ll keep your kids dry. Here’s our round-up of the best toddler waterproofs of 2018. 

The Kiddimoto Super Junior balance bike is ingenious. It teaches your toddler to ride, steer, balance – and means they’ll never need stabilisers!

It’s finally official – and we’re amazingly proud to announce that Sonny is now the official UK ambassador for Isbjörn of Sweden.

We’ve done loads of camping this summer, so at two years old decided it was time for Sonny to get his first camping bed. We went for the Gruffalo inflatable ReadyBed – and here’s our review.

This is probably the easiest product review I’ve ever written. Trust me, your kid would love a Coolcasc animal helmet cover. Just order one today!

The Primus Kuchoma portable grill ticks every box for lazy BBQers like me – it’s easy to operate, easy to transport, easy to cook on and easy to clean. Perfect for outdoorsy families!

The Elliot Brown Canford is a great watch for active dads. It looks cool, you’ll never have to take it off or charge it, and it seems virtually indestructible. Perfect for family adventures!

The Isbjörn Sun Jumpsuit KS is designed for little explorers who want to splash around in safety without worrying about getting sunburnt – and it makes them look like proper surf dudes too. 

We’ve recruited a new gear tester! Intrepid explorer Amelia-Faie has put the warm and toasty Spotty Otter Drift Down II Gilet through its paces – and here’s what she thinks of it.

My son spends an almost unbelievable amount of time up to his ankles in mud and water, and as a result he practically lives in his Bogs Skipper Wellies. So it’s a good job they’re awesome!

The only thing that annoys me about the Gruffalo Trunki is that it doesn’t come in adult sizes, because I’m bitterly jealous my infant son has a better suitcase than me.

The Gruffalo Poncho Towel does the awesome job of drying your toddler without you having to get your hands wet. All they need to do is run around!

As our son’s got bigger and crazier we’ve realised how unprepared we are for dealing with all his accidents, bumps and scrapes. But the LittleLife Family First Aid Kit has come to our rescue! 

If you’re planning to hit the beach with your kids this year they’ll need footwear that can handle sand, salt water, sunshine and sweaty little toes – and the Keen Seacamp II CNX sandals are perfect.

The Original Konfidence Swim Jacket is packed with removable floats and lots of other cool features that help water-loving toddlers take their first strokes towards becoming full-on swimmers.

With Sonny tipping the scales at 2 stone I’ve never needed a good rucksack carrier more, and the Deuter Kid Comfort II is right up there with the best. It’s lightweight, comfortable, easy to load, and easy to carry.

The insulated Primus Trailbottle Vacuum keeps your drinks hot or cold in any temperatures, making it the perfect piece of kit for thirsty little explorers.
