With such a selection to choose from, finding the perfect items can be overwhelming, and knowing everything you need to bring isn’t easy.
This is why we’ve compiled a list that will provide you with the best kids gear for hiking and camping in 2019.
By buying the items on this list, you will be all set for your next adventure.
What are you waiting for?
Rokka&Rolla Lightweight Water Resistant Windbreaker Jacket
This windbreaker jacket has been uniquely designed to be both water and wind resistant, with a breathable soft lining that allows for maximum flexibility as well as protection from the elements.
With features that mean your child will be comfortable at all times, and won’t overheat, this jacket is perfect for all times of the year.
This jacket can also be used for other occasions, like school field trips and outdoor sports activities, saving you from spending lots of money on different items of clothing that do the same thing.
Fjallraven Kids Vidda Trousers
As someone with a child, you know that hiking isn’t just hiking when they tag along.
They like to see every rock and tree as a challenge they must overcome, which puts even the strongest of clothing at risk.
This is why you need to invest in these trousers, which have densely-woven poly/cotton blend reinforcements in the knees to offer extra protection and durability.
Though the price may initially seem expensive, they do have adjustable waist and cuff capabilities, so they will size up to last longer as your child grows.
Merrell Capra Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot
We know that you want your child to have as much support as possible when hiking, which is why we recommend these Merrell waterproof hiking boots.
Made out of 100% real leather and the same craftmanship that goes into creating adult hiking shoes, your child will feel supported throughout their hike or camping trip.
The way they are constructed, in more a bootie design, offers unique waterproofing that is rarely seen in shoes marketed towards children.
Outlander Ultra Lightweight Hiking Backpack
To make your child feel independent and grown up on your next excursion, invest in a backpack that allows them to carry their own things without complaining of the weight.
This water-resistant option is durable and compact, meaning you will be able to use it for a long time before it wears out, and it can easily be stored when not in use.
It also comes in a selection of different colours, meaning your child can have a hiking backpack in their favourite colour with no hassle.
The Kool 8 water stainless steel water bottle, voted one of the best water bottles of 2019, is a great way to encourage your little ones to hydrate during long hikes.
Coming in a variety of different colours to keep your child happy, this bottle is also made out of stainless steel, making it durable among even the clumsiest of children.
This bottle also has double-walled vacuum insulation that keeps your water cool for up to 24 hours, so they’ll be great for the duration of your hike or camping trip.
Dorcy 55 Lumen Floating Waterproof LED Flashlight
Kids aren’t always gentle when it comes to things like flashlights, but with this Dorcy LED flashlight, you don’t need to worry.
With a rugged design, this device is impact resistant meaning it will still work if it has been dropped on the group. It will also float if dropped in water.
This device has a long lasting run time, of 8 hours and 45 minutes, meaning you don’t have to worry about your child’s light running out of charge in the middle of your adventure.
It is also battery powered, so you can easily replace the batteries on a longer trip if needed.
Mosion 4PC Hanging Lantern Camping Light Bulb
If you’re headed out on an overnight trip, having something to light your children’s tent can really help them get to sleep.
While torches may work, these lightweight, battery powered light bulbs may be a better option as they don’t pull down a string or the fabric on top of the tent.
These lights come in three settings, which includes high, low and SOS flash, which you can experiment with to find out which one works best for your child.
Coleman Kids 30-Degree Sleeping Bag
If you’re looking for a sleeping bag that will keep your child warm and secure, the Coleman Kids 30-degree sleeping bag will do that job perfectly.
Lightweight and designed for kids from 6 years old, up to 5 feet tall, it’s something you’ll be able to get a lot of use out of it before they grow out of it.
With a mummy-style design and Coletherm hollow polyester insulation that provides superior heat retention, your child will feel comfortable in temperatures as low as 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
Klymit Static V Recon ¾ Length Sleeping Pad
The Static V Recon sleeping pad is durable, perfect for camping or overnight adventure trips with the children.
It is also lightweight, meaning it won’t add much weight to your bag, and can be carried in the bags of slightly older children if necessary.
The smart technology involved in creating this sleeping pad means that there are dynamic side rails, which keep children centred on the pad and prevents them from slipping onto the tent floor.
