What Parents Are Saying
"I love the TrailTog! It gives me such peace to know 2 month old is protected while I'm chasing my toddler around a park or spending time up in the mountains! My favorite part is the fitted hood. It doesn't fall off and fits perfectly to keep baby girl's head safe. Affordable and effective- highly recommend."
"We are an outdoor adventure family but the first summer with a baby was so hard to get outside. It was too sunny and too hot to get a very fair complected baby in a backpack. She would over heat, pull her hat off constantly, and I hated smothering her in sunscreen. The TrailTog has been the solution to all those problems! This summer we are getting after it again! Beyond the SPF protection is the hood, it stays up and the bill provides extra shade to her face"

"The Trail Tog is great for my granddaughter! It is a very comfortable, lightweight material with the added benefit of sun protection. It eliminates the time used to put sunscreen on, as well as the harmful chemicals that go along with it. The built in visor on the hood is perfect! It stays in place and provides excellent coverage."
"Such a thoughtful design so I can have complete trust for the whole adventure! Super protective and doesn't require the constant adjustments that so often occur with other baby outdoor gear. It's a go-to for worry-free baby adventures!"
"We got this for our 9 month old and love how quick it is to put on! Protects her from the sun from head to toe without the battle of sunscreen. Love the hood with the built in visor since she refuses to keep hats on! Would definitely recommend!"

TrailTogs are designed to be lightweight and breathable with a loose fit for airflow so your baby can stay comfortable as long as possible.
