You play hard and you want your little ones to come along—so get them in gear just as good as yours.
1. Chariot CX Ski Kit
The Chariot has simply become required gear for Colorado parents. The ski attachments take the stroller/bike trailer up a notch—helping you get out into the winter woods doing everything from skate skiing to snowshoeing with your little one. $275; chariotcarriers.com
2. Eddie Bauer Microtherm Down Hoodie
Feel bad about dressing in better performance apparel out in the wild than your offspring? This 600-fill mini-me version of Eddie Bauer’s aoutstanding puffy has the same technology as it’s grown-up counterpart. $80; eddiebauer.com
3. Smith Gage Jr.
It’s scary to watch what your ever-evolving grom can do up on the ski hill. A solid helmet like the Gage Jr.—built to withstand multiple impacts and well ventilated—can at least make you feel a little bit better. $80; smithoptics.com
4. Strider Ski Kit
The Strider has more or less revolutionized the way our kids learn how to ride bikes. Add these nifty ski attachments, and your toddler can get a feel for the snow in your neighborhood or at the ski area parking lot. $39; striderbikes.com
5. Madshus Butterfly MG
The waxless MultiGrip base here makes it easier for kids to learn how to kick and glide while a wood core and cap construction will endure the beating an active little girl will inflict on these board. $115; madshus.com •
