Gear up for family adventures with the Osprey Poco LT Child Carrier! Tailored for active families, this smart design lets you explore together on your upcoming walks.

Featuring a built-in UPF 50 sunshade, you can enjoy sunny strolls this Spring without fretting about sunburn. The drool pad is soft to the touch and comfortably padded for added protection when rocking and rolling. Better yet, it can be removed for washing when required! The deluxe child cockpit ensures your little adventurer has plenty of space to enjoy the journey in comfort. With the AirScape back panel, ventilation is top-notch for both of you. And when adventure rests, this carrier folds down for easy storage. Get ready for joyful journeys with Osprey.

Another great hiking pack, and considered the ‘all-rounder’ is the Deuter Futura 27 Hiking Backpack – this will be your ultimate companion for day hikes or one-nighters this spring. This 27-litre pack is hydration compatible and has loops for ice axe and trekking pole attachments.

The Aircomfort back system is extremely comfortable and the new-style mesh creates maximum airflow across the back. The result is 25% less perspiration and consequently, increased performance.

Multiple compartments and pockets keep your gear organised, the stretch mesh front pocket is great for airing wet clothes on the move (after a quick dip in a mountain stream, for example). Adventure awaits – gear up with the Deuter Futura 27 and let the trails ignite your spirit! Explore Deuter's diverse range of outdoor packs, crafted for every adventure.

Ok, so there is no doubt that there is a little bit of a price hike when it comes to extreme outdoor backpacks, but bear with me! It is worth it. The Osprey Atmos / Aura series has been voted the best all-around backpack range by avid adventurers and is always a consistent standout favourite year after year!

Here I’ll focus on the Atmos AG 65 Men's Hiking Backpack. In terms of organisation, this backpack knows no bounds. It's so comfortable to wear, you'll forget how much you're actually carrying thanks to the Anti-Gravity suspension, trampoline back panel and effectively padded shoulder straps. Not only is the entire back panel suspended, but the hip belt is as well, adding to that hip-hugging feel.

With a rich array of pockets, adequate access, and other great features fit for purpose, this pack sure stands out from the rest. Not to mention the exceptional breathability and ventilation - the Atmos AG 65 is the ultimate comfort hiking pack around and well placed as 3rd on our top 5 outdoor backpacks list.

Embrace spring adventures with the Deuter Kid Comfort Child Carrier! Whether it’s walking around your neighbourhood, going for a hike in the wilderness, or exploring a new city, the Deuter Kid Comfort Child Carrier will make life and travel with a curious toddler practically effortless.

Prioritising both adult and child comfort, this carrier boasts an Aircomfort system for optimal ventilation during sunny days. The Vari Slide system tailors the back length, catering to individual wearers. A cushioned hip belt and adjustable sternum strap ensure stability while trekking.

Crafted from tear and abrasion-resistant polyamide, this design boasts durability. Its water-repellent coating lets water glide off the fabric if you happen to get caught in a spring shower. Convenient and safe, the side entry to the child seat adds ease to your journey as well as theirs. Why not make getting outdoors an enjoyable experience for the whole family with the Deuter Kid Comfort Child Carrier?
