As a mama of two little ones, I am so inspired by you! We absolutely love the outdoors, and are getting for our first hiking trip (not backpacking yet) with an almost 3 and almost 1 year old (and one on the way!) This has been super helpful for thinking about days on the trail. I think it’s so important to change the mindset around having little kids: they’re not limiting, they’re a joy to bring along for the journey :)
Oh I am so excited for your first hiking trip! If you already went on it, I hope it was amazing 🥰 Thanks for your kind words and I'm glad this positive message comes across!
This is amazing. I’m so excited to have kids, but was always apprehensive because of society’s mindset around babies, meaning putting your life / adventure / travel plans on hold. My husband and I are very outdoorsy and adventurous and I have no intentions of stopping that once we have a baby. Thank you for putting this content out there!
I am the father of a 10-month-old girl from China, thank you for sharing. After watching your videos, I can't wait to take my daughter outdoors this weekend.
Great video! I like glow in the dark accessories/chem sticks for easy identification of my 2 year old at night. His backpack, jacket, and cap have Velcro patches that I can slap some glow in the dark patches, and the chem sticks I can attach to his backpack or even tape to a pant leg or jacket sleeve. There are even glow in the dark pull tabs from MSR and various other companies that you can attach to zippers and such. Reaaaally helpful at night
I use the Trail Magic for hiking more than my kid carrier now. It's amazing!! I actually feel like it helps balance my weight out to have my one year old on the front. Haven't used it for backpacking. But use it every time I day hike. Love love love. Worth every penny.
Lol we are newbies to backpacking, and we are doing it with a kid and a dog. We also use osprey backpacks, and have a larger first aid kit. I watch other TH-camrs and am always shocked by how small their first aid kits are lol. We also use a saddle dog backpack, she gets so excited when we bring it out lol. I'm glad as newbies we are doing some smart things!

Of course! I totally get it and I am here to make sure moms know they can still live life they way they want to after having kids.

Absolutely love your content! My son loves camping because I started him early once I was inspired by you and your families videos.
Oh that is amazing! Thanks for sharing 🥰

I’m getting so excited for this summer! Hoping to backpack with my 3 year old and 6 month old!

Thank you so much for being here and for the support!!
Goodness, my search categories have drastically changed since becoming a mom 😅 I love the kid gear vids 👏
