People often ask me where should I go shopping for outdoor gear? Online or in person? It is always nice to go to a store where the employees have practical knowledge of what works for kids outside. But often I find the selection limited for outdoor gear for kids from 0-6 years of age. So I like to check online for what to get before I go to the store. What the reviews like, what fabrics are used and what is newest additions to the market.
When it comes to boots I prefer to try on to get the perfect fit in a store rather than order online from size. (Different shoe manufacturers size differently) Knowledgeable sales staff can help get them just big enough to allow for some growth while still maintaining a good comfortable fit.
