Hiking with Kids
Escape the daily grind and dive into adventure
Getting out into nature with young children often comes down to one thing: transportation. A tent, sleeping bag, food—and a child on top of that—it’s almost too much to carry. Strollers and bike trailers are only partially suitable for rough terrain and struggle on hiking trails and alpine routes due to narrow paths, roots, and rocks. Baby carriers quickly push Mom and Dad to their limits and leave no room for extra gear. But what could be better than leaving everyday life behind, soaking in the forest, and experiencing nature with the kids?
The Monowalker Fatmate is the “off-road child carrier” for real outdoor adventures. It is the only single-track, off-road transport system that makes possible exactly what was missing until now: family adventures without compromise. It carries camping gear while simultaneously allowing for the transport of small children, restoring the family’s mobility. It is pulled by the Monowalker SL-X Carbon Packframe.
Experience nature. Feel freedom. Be on the go together.
As a couple, you’d love to resume your outdoor activities after the birth of your children. Hiking in the mountains, mountaineering, tackling via ferrata routes, and sleeping under the open sky. In the past, you carried everything you needed yourself.
- Tent, sleeping bag, and sleeping pad
- Provisions for several days or weeks
- Water and water purification systems
- Cooking gear
Family hiking vacations and weekend micro-adventures with kids can become a challenge if you don’t want to end up carrying all the gear yourself. Donkey trekking or hiking with a goat may sound romantic and rustic—but it presents new challenges for both people and animals.
