Babyganics Sunscreen in Single-Use Tubes
With all of the sunscreen options available these days, it’s nice to know there are companies out there doing their research and pledging to abide by safety standards. Babyganics is run by two friends who are also dads and their company prides themselves on their baby-safe standards. The variety shown below is extra awesome because it comes in single-use tubes so it packs light and easy in your purse or diaper bag for those “oh no, I forgot the sunscreen!” moments.
Summer is a great time for family hikes and we all know how slow-paced a hike can be with little ones. These Osprey packs are the ultimate ride for your little one and in our Coloradan opinion, a must-have for your outdoor adventures! They are designed to keep mom or dad cool and comfortable while hiking and give your toddler a space to relax (and even sleep!)
If you prefer a staycation right here in the Denver or Colorado Springs area, you’d probably love riding your bike around with your kids safely secured in this Burley trailer. It’s unique because it’s a bike trailer and can be converted into a stroller, jogger or even a sled! It also folds compactly so you can take it along on your adventures if you so wish.
Living in Colorado, we’ve become very accustomed to grabbing shades every time we go out in the sun. Babiators makes sunglasses for even the youngest member of your family and is guaranteed to be safe, as they say, “whether they’re on your child’s face or end up in their mouth.” They are also very durable and shatter-resistant so they will hold up to the test of time with little ones.
We all know how exhausting it can be chasing around and entertaining a toddler while on vacation. Whenever they need some chill time, just pull out this super lightweight and convenient play area and you’ll be back to reading your new novel in no time! It’s great for outdoor adventures or even to use while you are at home.
