Hiker Hunger Outfitters kids hiking poles, Blue, 17–36in telescoping with flip locks — lightweight for kids under 4'9"

Hiker Hunger Outfitters' Kids Hiking Poles combine a compact telescoping design with child-sized grips and sturdy flip locks so young explorers can walk more confidently without carrying adult-sized gear. Built from aviation-grade aluminum, these poles balance durability and low weight, folding down small for backpacks and strollers while extending to fit growing kids.

How do these poles fit a growing child?

The telescoping shaft adjusts from 17" to 36", giving a wide range of heights so one pole can serve a child across several seasons. Flip locks let you set and secure the length quickly, and the smaller ergonomic grips are shaped for little hands so push-and-hold comfort is better than adult grips.

• Adjustable length: 17"–36" to match different heights and hiking postures.
• Child-sized grips: easier hold and reduced hand fatigue.
• Quick flip locks: change length in seconds without tools.
• Compact when collapsed: fits inside daypacks and cargo areas.

Are these poles durable enough for rough play and trails?

Yes—the shaft is made from aviation-grade aluminum, chosen for impact resistance and lightness. Metal knobs and reinforced flip locks add ruggedness so the pole tolerates rocks, roots, and the occasional drop while staying functional.

• Aviation-grade aluminum resists bending and corrosion.
• Metal hardware on locking points improves lifespan.
• Replaceable rubber tips for trail longevity and traction.
• Simple maintenance: rinse and dry after wet use.

How easy are they for kids to use and carry?

Designed with simplicity in mind, these poles collapse quickly and are lightweight enough for young adventurers to carry. The flip-lock system requires minimal strength to operate, and the smaller grip and wrist strap help maintain control on uneven terrain.

• Lightweight feel reduces arm strain on long walks.
• One-handed length adjustment possible for older kids.
• Compact fold size tucks into most daypacks or attaches to belt loops.
• Bright blue color makes the pole easy to spot outdoors.

What accessories or extras come with the pole and how do I care for it?

Each pole includes a replaceable rubber tip suited to hard surfaces and a wrist strap for added control; heavier-duty trail tips or baskets can be added if needed. To extend life, wipe down after use, avoid prolonged salt exposure, and open the flip locks occasionally to dry after rain.

• Includes rubber tip and adjustable wrist strap.
• Compatible with aftermarket tips and small snow baskets.
• Care tip: dry and store collapsed to protect locks.
• Simple troubleshooting: tighten flip locks if slipping occurs.

Who is this for? These hiking poles are made for children and families who want kid-sized, durable gear that encourages outdoor independence. They’re ideal for hikers under 4'9", scouts, school nature trips, and parents who prefer compact equipment for multi-child outings.
