ChicoBag has created a line of eco-friendly bags that promote reuse in an effort to reduce the negative impact our consumption has on the environment. All of their products easily convert from a bag to a pouch for convenient storage and handling. What's more, ChicoBag is now making bags from recycled PET which means they are repurposing plastic bottles that would have otherwise ended up in a landfill. Further, the aforementioned bags are functional (i.e., can be used as diaper bags) and stylish so living an eco-friendly lifestyle is now both practical and fashionable.
Cycling families can use LED safety lights that are convenient for parents because they are easy to install and uninstall. In addition, they are fun for kids because of their colors and ability to both glow and flash. The helmet lock is ideal for parents wishing to lock up a helmet while at the playground, grocery store, or other family cycling destination. Child bicycle seats do well on busy streets with no bicycle lanes because your child is off the ground and visible to automobile drivers. Child bicycle trailers do well on paved bicycle trails, roads with wide bike lanes, and smooth dirt trails because the width of a bicycle trailer requires a wider bike lane. The key advantage of a bicycle trailer versus a bicycle seat is the added storage room that allows you to bring items such as diapers, wipes, food, and groceries. In addition, bicycle trailers protect children from the sun which makes it easier and safer to go on longer rides.
Hiking families with children less than three years old that enjoy hiking together, we recommend baby bug spray, baby hats, sunscreen, and diaper bags. For longer hikes with young children, we recommend the Kelty K.I.D.S. FC 3.0 Frame Child Carrier which can carry a child up to 50 lbs and store of all your child's non-hiking gear like diapers, wipes, water, clothes, and food. For families with older children, we advocate nasal washing; a natural allergy treatment for children. To help make hiking a fun, interactive, and educational experience for your kids, we have created free activities in the form of PDFs that can be downloaded and printed: Poison Ivy Field Guide and Hiking Checklist for Kids.
