TODDLER TRANSPO

• Sturdy baby carrier: If you’ve got an infant or toddler you already know how important a reliable infant carrier or toddler backpack can be. At festivals, one thing you can count on is plenty of walking.To keep your child safe and comfortable while you go from one stage to the next, invest in a highquality carrier. If your kid has graduated from baby sling transportation, a hiking-style backpack carrier will let your little bean take in the sights and sounds of the festival from a high perch.

• Lightweight stroller: Because nap time isn’t just inevitable, it’s indispensable. A comfy, shady stroller with plenty of storage space underneath can be a godsend when your family’s campsite is nowhere in sight. And there are few things more discouraging for parents at an outdoor event than realizing they left the stroller at home.

• Ambient noise machine: Trying to sleep away from home can be next to impossible for kids. A battery-powered noise machine equipped with the sounds of steady rain, a babbling brook, or good old-fashioned white noise can go a long way in providing a calm nighttime environment, especially if you’re tent camping near some late-night revelers.

• A strict no-screens policy: Live in the moment, take in the music, and enjoy each other’s company. You can stare at your cell phone when we’re at home, Timmy.
