Hi I'm Liz Hood on behalf of Expert Village and I'm going to be talking about taking a baby out on a hike now one thing about hiking even if you have a baby along you need to still keep in mind all the regular hiking safety tips for adults as well. Like for one thing don't just go hiking the woods with just you and the baby you need to have the buddy system with another adult. Number 2 is you need to wear layers so that you can take off an outer shirt if you start to get to hot and if your hiking in the mountains or hills you can put them back on as you get to higher altitudes and it gets colder. You should also make sure that you wear comfortable shoes if you buy those hiking boots you need to kind of break them in first before you actually take them out and always keep hydrated.
