Yakima Hangover 6 Rack 

The Yakima Hangover 6 rack is perfect for big families or small families that like to ride with friends! Constructed of heavy-duty steel, Yakima’s first-ever vertical bike rack safely hauls up to 6 mountain bikes to the trailhead. The easy-to-operate tilt mechanism with two adjustable mast angles keep your bikes from bumping into your vehicle and makes accessing the tailgate or back hatch a breeze with bikes unloaded. Available in 4-bike or 6-bike options, the HangOver’s vertical orientation carries more bikes in less space. Read our full Review of the Yakima Hangover 6.

Helinox Chairs

Three years ago, we purchased four Helinox chairs (one for each family member) as a Christmas gift. After 3 years of use, we remain impressed with the quality and durability of these chairs. The Helinox chairs are compact and light, taking up about half the space of our old heavy foldable camping chairs. This not only helps when we road trip in the minivan, but also makes it possible to put them into a backpack for short hikes. These chairs assemble easily – our kids can have their chairs built in less than a minute. Read our full review at: https://mtbwithkids.com/helinox-two-camping-chair-review/

The Thule Chariot Cross Stroller is an all-around trailer, jogger, and stroller, offering comfort and flexibility for families with an active lifestyle. Thule Chariot Cross gives you the freedom to enjoy almost any outdoor adventure with your child. It is designed for active families who want a versatile, tough, and stylish bike trailer, and who love being outdoors all year round. The all-around trailer and stroller offers comfort and flexibility for families with an active lifestyle, and the optional Jogging Kit (sold separately) makes it a great training partner.

Canon T7i DSLR For Mountain Biking Photos

We recently upgraded to this 24mp Canon DSLR with 18-55mm lens so we could get sharper action shots and achieve better results in low light. The camera can shoot 6 frames per second and its auto-focus is more than adequate when upgrading from a smartphone. A 16gb SD card can hold over 500 images. It also shoots HD video at 1920 x 1080 resolution. If you want a similar camera with a weather-sealed body, consider the Canon 80D.

Patagonia Black Hole Duffel Bag 55L

Everyone in the family could use a new Black Hole 55L Duffel Bag. You might want to choose different colors for each person, so you can find the bag you need easily. The 55 L Black Hole duffle has plenty of storage capacity for gear-intensive weekend travels or longer trips. The ripstop fabric will withstand wear and tear from endless adventures. It’s also highly water-resistant to keep your stuff dry in case of wet weather. Deployable backpack straps make it easy to carry while wheeling your bike. These duffles are one of our favorites gifts for mountain biking families. Read our full review.

The North Face Wawona 6 Tent

Get the family out car camping in style! There is a lot to love about this tent. First, the refreshed The North Face Wawona 6 tent has gone from single- to double-wall construction. second, its huge vestibule makes it feel less like a tent, and more like a home. Third, sturdy tent poles are easy to store and flexible for quick setup. Fourth, drop-in storage pockets let you stash small items. Fourth, a large mesh door and upper ventilation opening keep air flowing. This tent will fit 6 people. We love the latest version of the Wawona 6 Tent for its double-wall design and tried-and-true ease of use.
