Elevate the fun with all the best gear for kid-friendly outdoor adventures

Add some exciting outdoor gear for kids that fuel the adventure. From backyard play to bike trail fun, water-related gear to outdoor must-haves, and everything in between, we've tested a range of products that help make fun in the sun a sure thing.

So, let us help you find the best stuff!

We've tested a considerable amount of baby and child-related gear over the years. We think it is safe to say that no one extensively tests gear like BabyGearLab. We've selected, purchased, and tested each product in our lineup, and only the best will make this gear list — so you can feel confident about what you're buying. We will update our best-of lists with new award winners if a compelling product outshines the competition.

Our favorite outdoor gear for kids includes categories to make your child's outdoor time safe, fun, and adventurous.
