Family festivals are the heart of summer fun, and 2025 is shaping up to be another fantastic season for parents and little ones to enjoy the music, food and freedom of outdoor events together. But let’s be honest: navigating muddy fields, loud stages, and unpredictable weather with a toddler in tow takes a little planning.
At Hippychick, we’re all about making life with little ones easier, especially when it comes to adventures like family festivals. That’s why we’ve put together our Top 5 Essentials for Family Festivals in 2025—designed to help you pack smart, travel light and make memories without the meltdowns.
1. The Hippychick Hipseat: A Family Festival Game Changer
If there’s one thing you’ll thank yourself for packing, it’s the Hippychick Hipseat. Festivals mean lots of walking, dancing, and—let’s be honest—carrying tired toddlers around, especially when buggies get stuck in the mud. The best thing about the Hipseat is its clever design, which reduces strain on your back and promotes a healthier posture, so you can carry your little one without compromising your own comfort.
Its hop-on, hop-off style is perfect for family festivals, where your child can dip in and out of your arms as they get tired from all the fun. Practical, supportive, and easy to use, the Hipseat is a festival must-have.
2. Tron Disposable Potty: The Family Festivals Toilet Saviour
Let’s talk about one of the biggest challenges of family festivals: toilets. Whether it’s the endless queues, the less-than-fragrant smells, or the sheer logistics of managing a potty-training toddler in the middle of a muddy field, it’s not exactly the highlight of the weekend. That’s where the Tron Disposable Potty is a total game-changer.
Compact, lightweight and designed to fold away in seconds, the Tron is an on-the-go potty you can use anywhere—no queues, no dirty cubicles, no stress. It features a highly absorbent pad that quickly eliminates odours, absorbing up to 250ml of liquid within 30 seconds to prevent spills and keep things hygienic.
And while it’s a lifesaver for potty-training toddlers, it’s not just for little ones—grown-ups caught short in festival queues love the Tron too! It’s a simple, smart solution for the whole family, making those long days out a whole lot easier.
3. Hippychick Waterproofs: Rain? No problem
British weather loves to keep us on our toes, which is why Hippychick Waterproofs are an essential for your festival packing list. Whether it’s a light drizzle or a full-on downpour, these lightweight, breathable, and machine-washable all-in-ones will keep your little ones dry and comfortable.
Perfect for toddlers who love to run, jump, and roll around in the mud, Hippychick Waterproofs let them stay active whatever the forecast—so you can keep the fun going, rain or shine.
4. Dooky Ear Protection: Protecting little ears
Festivals are all about the music, but little ears need extra protection. The Dooky 2-in-1 Baby/Toddler Ear Protectors are designed to shield delicate hearing from loud music, crowds, and unexpected bursts of sound—so your child can enjoy the fun without the risk to their precious ears.
What makes them extra special? They come with two different headbands—a super-soft, stretchy one for babies, and a sturdy, adjustable version for toddlers. That means they grow with your child, fitting snugly and comfortably from birth up to around 3 years. Lightweight, safety-tested, and with up to 27dB noise reduction, they’re a festival essential for peace of mind.
5. Bumbo Multi Seat: The perfect festival seating solution
When it comes to mealtimes at festivals, finding a clean, safe spot for your little one to sit and enjoy their food can feel like a bit of a challenge. That’s where the Bumbo Multi Seat comes into its own. Compact, lightweight, and easy to transport, this clever seat can be used as a floor seat or attached securely to most chairs—giving your toddler their very own comfy spot to eat, play, or just soak up the atmosphere.
Whether you’re tucking into street food, enjoying a family picnic, or relaxing to the sound of live music, the Bumbo Multi Seat keeps your little one safe, included, and comfortable throughout the day.
With these five festival essentials on your packing list, you’ll be ready for whatever the summer of 2025 throws your way. From keeping your toddler dry and comfy to managing on-the-go toilet stops and protecting their little ears, Hippychick has got you covered.
