How to Overland with a Baby 

Props to all you parents who travel with kids, looks like a lot of work.

The little baby is so cute, and he smiles so happily. This is one of the joys that traveling brings him.

Great tips. I agree with all of them....not that I ever took my babies overlanding...but we've travelled with them a ton and these tips hold true.

We really, really enjoy watching your videos. Our risk tolerance level is similar to yours and Andreas. Shawn and Matt have more built up rigs and take more chances - enjoy watching their videos, just not doing what they do. My girlfriend became a fan of your channel watching the video back when you and your wife got stuck in the sand (in the 4Runner) and had to winch out. Now that you are doing videos with the baby - my girlfriend is an even larger fan. I think it's terrific your family is getting out on the trail and experiencing the outdoors together. Tangential side note: the videos where you link-up with Matt and Shawn are enjoyable. It's entertaining to watch everyone's different videos and perspectives, i.e. when you had to tow Shawn to the shop in Utah or Arizona to get his jeep fixed. He didn't include where his buddy told him to buy a Toyota to avoid problems! 😄

Nice work on getting the family out there, it's always nice to see others getting out with their little ones! It definitely changes things; you have some great tips and tricks here! We always like to say our kids haven't stopped us from doing anything we wanted to but sometimes it changes how you do things and what things you actually want to do.

We just went overlanding with our 1 year old last Oct we have 4 kids though and a 60lb dog. I REALLY need to make a video about our trip! We went from WA to OR, ID, UT then AZ and back. You are absolutely correct it takes MUCH longer with kids but so worth it because now we have all these amazing memories and stories to tell. Also, we learned to pack mouse traps. 😆

Awe! He's awesome!

Your videos are beautiful!!

Thanks boss. I don't have kids but find this stuff interesting

Excellent video packed with great info. The best is to just get out there and explore, life it way too short. The baby bloopers were perfect. Thanks for sharing and stay safe. Ken

We found out the pull out fridge on our opus trailer was the perfect on-the-go changing table

I love it. Shove it in the haters' faces, :D. Wish my parents had taken me on trips like this when I was a baby. Great parenting!

This video was great. My husband and I are expecting our first and I’ve been feeling overwhelmed about I would need for our trips and this was perfect so thank you

Great video and suggestions!

This was very insightful and tons of great tips. I have a two year old but even still nervous to venture out on a full on overland trip. I’ll be putting some of this to practice for sure!

Great advice here! Temp management is one of the tough ones for sure. I also have a hate/not so hate relationship with Dr. Browns. Our kiddo loved those, but man it was rough even when just normal vacation traveling with the amount of pieces. And yes sir, you are very lucky with full night sleeping! Whole new world, and a great one at that. Side note, we used the dock a tot as well only a few years ago. It was amazing as our kiddo has clubfoot and a bnb which helped support her. While it's not being recommended anymore, it's one of those things you have to decide (as noted) what's best for your situation. Keep these up, this is great.

Love the video and the cute precious baby. He’s already gotten more education on this trip than the illiterate haters commenting will ever have in a lifetime.

Wow, “cute little baby” has been to more states than I have 😂. I need to up my travel game. 🎉 If you put cute little baby in every video, you’ll easily get 100k subscribers ❤. All the best from Florida!

I actually enjoy the cinematic presentation of your videos most of all, and drone shots specifically. Would you consider doing a video regarding your workflow while shooting and editing ?

A few additions (I’ve got a 10 month old and a 3 year old): 1) if you’re using formula, pre portion a few “dry” bottles and boil some water and store it in a thermos. When the baby wants a bottle, just put some hot and some cold water in the bottle until a good temp is reached. We would heat water in the morning and at night. 2) have a good trash setup. Poopy diapers stink. I use a heavy duty roll top dry bag.

Awesome video, I’m about to take my 11 month old daughter on a 2 week trip with some friends, perfect timing 😆

Awesome info. My best friend is having a baby girl. Can't wait to see what changes in their routine haha

Just as eloquent as her pappa. 😅

The doc a tot is not rated for sleep and loungers have reports of suffocation. I haven’t found an option for a roof top tent, we tent camp with a pack n play.

We have a newborn and a AT habitat as well. We are looking to get out camping by March. Do you put the baby in the platform across from the bed or up next to the bed?

It looks like your son does pretty well with traveling. Many, Many do not do well with travel and would make your life a living hell trying to do this. Just use your head and know your child. If it doesn't make sense then be the parent you know you have to be. Sacrifice is a parent's middle name. I know this from experience having raised two boys to adulthood. Recognize your limits and I hope that if you want to do this kind of traveling, I wish you well and your child learns the adventurous spirit that you may have.

don't cook the baby, got it 😅

"Promo SM"

Folks should look up "dingo ate my baby!" It's a quote from a happy family that went camping in Australia ....

ew, I dont want my babys mouth to touch a toy that another babys mouth has touched. Idk whats been in either of them. Forreal though, this has inspired me to make a "How to overland with a baby as a single dad" video

That is not a cute baby wow
