A Note from Mountain Mama Dear Outdoor Families, It's that time of the year again....the seasons are changing and we are gearing up to keep warm and comfortable as winter hits. We also start thinking about what to gift those we love. I hope you start with TIME first. It is the foundation of strong families and, sadly, what seems to slip away first. We put together this guide to help you find the GEAR (and fun stuff) you need to spend that time together outside. Know that all these products come personally recommended by us and our Team.

We also love it when you click on items you love. Many have affiliate links attached to them which don't cost you a dime....but help us out a tiny bit.

As always, we welcome your feedback and discussions!

Thanks for being a part of our community.

Happy browsing/shopping and playing!

Cheers!

Amelia & the Mountain Mama Team

Family Fun + Biking Woom 3 Bike The WOOM 3 is our favorite bike for preschoolers transitioning from a balance bike to pedals. The more upright stance gives young riders confidence as they learn to ride. We also love the color-coded hand brake, steering limiter and ultra light frame.

Hamax Outback

BOB Skates

Stroller Skis

The Outback has bike/ski/stroll/jog capabilities with a large cockpit, adjustable handle bar and is THE easiest multifunctional stroller to switch between accessories. Another bonus? Their strolling wheel is the smoothest I've seen even on dirt roads.

Spring Free Trampoline Truly the safest trampoline on the market, we have been extremely impressed with this one. Safety is their number one priority and it shows in the details.

This is for those families that said they "would never have a trampoline" (like us!) Works awesome in ALL weather conditions. See our Instagram (@mtnmamatales) for examples of winter jumping.Â

Outdoor Education

Think Outside Boxes My kids think THIS is the best gift idea for outdoor kids this year. Full of cool gear, teaching opportunities and games/puzzles, we are incredibly impressed. See discount code on the second page!

Deeper Smart Sonor Well suited for conventional shore fishing in lakes or rivers, the Deeper Start’s lightweight design casts like a bait fish and makes it easy to locate targets and pinpoint their position in the water column.

After the initial set up, it’s a breeze to use—just cast it out and it senses the water and begins transmitting the information straight to your smartphone. Despite being the basic model in the Deeper lineup, this inexpensive unit provides impressive capabilities and a sleek app interface, making the Start a great gift for beginners or

Merrell Snow Quest To be honest, I wasn't sure what to think of these boots initially but they have proved to be warm, waterproof (on the bottom part) and wear very well. Our kids love them!

Merrell Snow Bank 2.0 Slightly less warm than the Snow Quest boots, these are great for "boot/shoes" to wear all day long. We've been impressed with warm feet (though they are not as waterproof as the others!)

Winter Fun + Gear Shred Dog Jacket + Bibs Shred Dog is brand new (pre sales are still open though to get 40% off.) We got to see some samples and are thoroughly impressed. True attention to details and providing a more affordable price point for families that want the best gear. My favorite feature is the grow AND shrink features so they can be worn for a couple years and then passed down too.

Stripes Gear My favorite poly-pro base layers for toddlers through adults. The stripes are adorable, they are very warm and comfortable. My biggest tip? They are not made to go in the dryer so hang dry! See coupon code on the first page!

Wee Woollies My kids are in Wee Woollies literally every day or night yearround. They are super soft, lightweight so great for a base layer or pajamas and keep kids warm AND cool thanks to the amazing properties of wool. Available for babies - age 10. They are slim fitting so sizing up a bit works just fine. If you treat them right, they'll last through a few kids. I LOVE that they are something I can throw in with the rest of my laundry.Â

Wet Weather Gear Jan & Jul I just discovered Jan & Jul this winter and love their fleece-lined rain gear. In fact, the suits especially totally work as snow gear if you live in a more temperate climate or are ok with layering. They've been fantastic for early winter which tends to be muddy and wet AND cold here. Suits, jacket/pant separates and mittens are all available. We've done some serious laying-in-a-puddle testing and they have performed fantastically.

Therm Outdoor Splash Magic Jacket Therm has fantastic gear that truly is waterproof. The Splash Magic jacket is fleece-lined and has a design that shows up only when wet (every kid thinks this is super cool). Based in New Zealand, we love this company and ALL their products. Available on Amazon!

Villervalla Snow Gear from Biddle & Bop I LOVE LOVE LOVE this gear from Biddle & Bop. It is what I recommend to all my friends who are looking for great gear for their kids, but don't want to spend a fortune. Not only is it cute, it's warm and super durable, has a great hood, adjustable wrist cuffs and bib straps and just overall amazing quality. And that hat - it's THE best and warmest I have found for little kids. I am ordering more for our family! We also recommend their rain gear.

Sustain the Adventure Wildtree Freezer Meal Kits Wildtree's freezer meal kits have saved our adventure family's life. Each kit makes 10 meals that feed 4-6 people. You add your own produce and meat.
