Burley is launching 3 awesome new, top of the line, child bike trailers on March 1, 2019: the Cub X, D’Lite X, and Encore X. This is what Burley has to say about the Encore X: “Perfect for the active family, the Encore X kids bike trailer and double stroller with suspension provides smooth rides on gravel…

In 2010, I saw my son, Abishai, fall in love for the first time (aside from the love for his mother and food of course). I think this is a little earlier than most; he was 22 months old, and we’d bought him his first bike. It was a Strider balance bike, and it was…

A note from my family to yours: Hi friends! Every November comes around and I find myself with less time for outdoor pursuits, and overwhelmed by the impending business of the holiday season. I also find myself looking for unique but also useful gifts, realizing that truly my family doesn’t really NEED anything. So below…

Every year we partner with specific outdoor companies – either for certain projects or as year-long ambassadors as we adventure as a family. We are picky over who we partner with. The gear needs to be tried and tested – either personally or from other families we know and trust before we will willingly promote…

Big Agnes has long been a trusted brand for our family when we are in the backcountry. The Air Core Pads have been our favorites for the last 5-6 years, as well as their integrated sleeping systems and kid’s winter jackets. In fact, their gear is of such high quality, I would trust it across…

We are often asked about what sleeping bags we prefer for our kids when camping or backpacking, and our experienced with the variety of brands on the market. So here are all my answers regarding synthetic bags. But first some broad spectrum tips regarding kids sleeping bags for outdoor adventures. Tips for purchasing a kid’s…

  This review is for the women out there (and maybe the occasional husband/dad looking for a privacy solution for the woman in his life). Not very often do I get the chance to try a product that promises to make going to the bathroom in the wilderness easier. What makes Andie’s Outdoor Undies unique…

We are thrilled to be representing Sunday Afternoons as ambassadors in the new year! Their sun hats have long been a staple on all of our summer adventure. This season, we were able to try out a few of their winter hats, a collection that is perfect for winter hiking, skating, sledding, ice fishing, and…

Hi! I am Christine, part of the Kid Project Gear Review Team. I am always on the hunt for the perfect winter boot. With all my kids I want something sturdy and warm but I also have a child with Spina Bifida and finding boots to fit over orthotics is no easy task. Today I’m…

The holidays are upon us, and while the snow has yet to paint our mountains white, I have still started my Christmas shopping. This year, instead of a normal gift guide, I wanted to focus on companies  and organizations that also give back to communities in need or for causes that are significant to the…

When you find something you love. Stick with it. It is true in all realms, but especially women’s clothing. These words are something I believe strongly in and I feel so lucky to partner with a company that is only getting better with time. This is my second year as an ambassador for Aventura Clothing….

We don’t do a ton of sponsored posts around here. And my bar is pretty high when it comes to products we would use and buy with our own money, without being coerced by some company. However, recently we were approached by Sharpie (yes, the marker company) about their new product – Sharpie Extreme. See,…

A while ago we made the great transition from our heavy and cumbersome Canon DSLR camera body and lenses to the Sony A600 and new lighter lenses. It wasn’t a change made quickly and to be honest I am still adjusting. But in the end I just wasn’t bringing the camera gear on adventures as…

When it comes to sun protection, our preference over sunscreen is simply to keep the kids covered (ie. hats) during the hottest parts of the day. But we learned early on that not all hats are created equal. Some are sized better, stay on well, provide greater shade, and are cooler. Sunday Afternoons is our…

I was thinking back a few years… to a time when my largest battle was trying to keep sunglasses on my infants and toddlers. We tried everything, the bungy strap, the velcro strap. In the end we had the best luck with the Julbo Looping 3. Next we moved onto the cheap $5-$10 sunglasses found…

A good pair of water shoes is one of our “family essential items” in the summertime. Whether wearing them just to the pool or waterpark or using them on the trails and lakeside, we are always looking for water shoes that have good traction, durability, and comfort for our kids. M.A.P. Footwear, a children’s shoe brand…

This year I was selected to be an ambassador for Aventura Clothing again. I am stoked, as I love their products but also the ethics behind their clothing. The best news? They are killing it with their tank tops this season, adding new styles, sporty styles, breeze styles, and all around awesomeness. Simply put I cannot…

We are totally stoked when we get a chance to try out a new (to us)  brand making quality gear for kids. I only recently learned of Showers Pass, a company born in the Pacific Northwest, and rooted strongly in the cycling community. Having a husband from Oregon, I understand the deep “wetness” of the…

We took a different approach this year to our gear guide. Rather than share the latest and greatest from brands across the market – we took a good look at our adventures over the last few years. We then compiled a list of our favorite items, the ones we’d buy again, and often have bought…

As our kids have grown from infants to toddlers and now to ski ages (4 and 6 years old), we’ve gone through many trials keeping their hands warm and dry in the snow. The first battle was simply keeping the kids from taking their mittens off! Our best solution, at first, was using duct tape to attach the…
