If you are an outdoor passionate mum, don’t limit your adventures: bring with you your child but pay attention to not forget anything!

3. FIRST-AID KIT

If an emergency occurs, mummy is prepared! Always have with you a first-aid kit to take care of some little incidents that may happen to the children: small scratches on the rocks or on the thorns of brambles, peelings of the knee after a fall or an insect bite.

From picnics at the park to hikes in the wilderness, the ADVENTURE MEDICAL First Aid Family Kit is the ideal kit to take along wherever children may need care, together with the Caring for Children in the Outdoors, the comprehensive guide to first-aid for children, which includes topics such as how to treat sprains, fractures, and dislocations and handy guides with instructions on how to administer medications.

4. BACKPACK

The major weight of your stuff for the hiking will be carried by adults, but children could have their little rucksack for the exploration as well: with a maximum capacity of 10 litres, it may contain the bare essentials, from the hat to the rain cape or only the water and some little games.
The DEUTER Waldfuchs 10 is the perfect super-robust and cool backpack for hiking; extremely simple to use, it carries all the necessities for survival: drinking bottle, meal, and all the found treasures.

5. WHISTLE

Kids could have a small whistle in his rucksack or pocket: it might be useful if they get lost in the trail and it could also be seen as a toy, to give them responsibility and teach them how and when to use it.

8. HEADLAMP

They will be happy to use it and to learn to orient themselves in the wood and it will be a better safety also for the parents.

The reliable baseplate SUUNTO A-30 NH Metric compass is essential for navigating and surviving in extreme conditions: it is operable in low light with luminescent markings and a magnifying lense to use it with the map.

10. GAMES

Let the kids take some little and lightweight games out in the trails: frisbee or cards don’t take up much space but are great ways to pass the time; cards or other board games can be played both inside a tent, if you are in a multi-day trip, or in case you will need to stop for a rest before to come back.
The OUTSIDE INSIDE games offer you various alternatives for enjoying the camping life and the backyard adventures: freestyle racket sets, backpack disk, cards but also chess and backgammon games with magnetic chekkers and boards are some of the options you can opt for.
