THERE is a lot to see in the country, but the weather can sometimes be a hindrance. Sunny days can be scorching hot and rainy days can be thunderous and leave us soaking wet. Often, parents of young children resort to keeping their young ones indoors – think malls, movies and indoor playgrounds – instead of exploring a town or city on foot even thought this would be more enriching and allows for many teachable moments.

One of the ways to have a comfortable outdoor outing – whether you're heading to the park, zoo, farms or exploring the city on public transport – is to be prepared for both the weather and the demands of young kids. Let's face it, the more comfortable they are, the less stressful the whole outing is.Here are some suggestions on what could be on your list, the next time you and your family head out for an explorative day.
