This nylon changing bag is packed with clever details: Velcro straps allow you to swing it securely from your buggy handlebars, while a specialist thermo pocket will keep a milk bottle upright while maintaining the temperature. There’s even a dedicated compartment for keeping wet tissues separate.

While it’s so tempting to get that perfect shot in a field of wildflowers, we now try to remember that little kids look adorable no matter what. Placing them in that wildflower field trains them from a young age that it’s OK to stomp on wildlife. That said, on a number of trails I hike, there are trees that kids like to climb. I have seen a substantial impact on these trees after years of kids climbing, and there’s no going back and fixing those naturally occurring spots. Recognize where those highly impacted places are and encourage stopping there versus a more pristine area, especially when hiking with groups.

"I live for a versatile shoe that looks as appropriate at the office as it does at a party or a casual day out and this white woven mules fit the bill perfectly. They’ve got a cool, slightly beach vibe that’s elevated by the gold horsebit detail and the low heel means I’ll be able to stand in them for hours."—Lauren Hubbard, Contributor
