The Number 1 Must Buy Item for Travel with Young Kids!

There are several items we have found helpful or even necessary for traveling with young kids, but this is the NUMBER ONE must-have in our opinion (with link below to purchase):

AN OSPREY KID CARRIER BACKPACK!! I cannot advocate enough for this item. These are perfect for nearly any type of trip you are taking. Going to Europe? The cobblestone is a nightmare with a stroller. Going on more nature-based adventurous travel? This is perfect for hiking with kids. Going to NYC or another bustling area? This is an easy way to not stress crowds with kids. No navigating a stroller through the busy sidewalks or trying to hold their hand with a death grip so they don't dart out in traffic. Even just going to your neighborhood zoo? The kids can see the animals better from up there than in a stroller, and you don’t have to take them in and out of the stroller 100 times. Seriously, anywhere you go, this is HUGE.

Cobblestone streets and canals in Italy would be a disaster with a stroller!

The carrier is good for kids about 6 months old (sitting independently) to about 4 years old, but there's also a metal kickstand bar that can open up and my older son (maybe up to about 6 or 7yo) has stood on that bar holding on to the handle up top while his brother was riding in it (yes, my husband's back may never forgive us all!).

No one wants to try to navigate busy NYC streets with a stroller!

Also, the carrier backpack has a part you can put up to help keep them out of rain or sun, and it has a zippered underneath compartment to put your days’ worth of diapers/wipes/bottles, and it has a side pocket for water bottle grabbing.

If your back can handle it, technically two kids can go for a ride with the standing bar in the back!

And they hold up really well.....we used ours for both of our children, then handed it down to my BIL who used it for both of his children, and it's still in good working (but maybe beaten up looking) shape. And lastly, we've advocated for it being checked for free as well and have succeeded every time...as long as you’re not also trying to check a stroller.
