The toddler starter kit
For the age of endless energy and zero fear
9 items · Curated by The Barefoot Bub
Toddlers are the best outdoor companions — they find wonder in everything, run everywhere, and haven't yet learned to be bored. Your job is mostly to keep up and make sure they're dressed for whatever they throw themselves into.
This kit covers the gear and books that make outdoor toddlerhood genuinely easy — and genuinely fun. The balance bike earns its spot as the single best investment of the toddler years.
