"The perfect combo of a road bike and mountain bike, the hybrid works on different types of terrain which makes it an ideal commuter bike," Bergamotto says. "The FX1 from Trek is a winner because its endurance-based frame is made from lightweight aluminum, making for an easy and comfortable ride, no matter where you take it." Plus, Trek offers a lifetime warranty and a 30-day, no-questions-asked return policy if you aren't 100% happy with your purchase.

"With over 22,000 positive reviews, this lightweight but heavy-duty helmet protects your head reliably and comfortably," Bergamotto explains. "Designed with an adjustable dial fit knob, reviewers love that you can get a customizable fit with the twist of a dial. Ideal to wear all year round, this has 21-flow vents for air flow, even on the hottest days."

"When it comes to kids bikes, you want something that is sturdy enough to keep them safe from a tumble, but lightweight enough for them to easily and smoothly maneuver," Bergamotto says.

"Parents will love how durable it is, that it comes with removeable training wheels -- should their child need them -- and that it can hold up to 80 pounds. Kids will love how fun it is to ride and that it comes with a sticker pack of letters and designs for them to customize however their little hearts' desire."

"Regarded for their premium kids bike products, woom -- founded by two dads! -- offers thoughtfully designed, well-made helmets with kid-specific safety features," Bergamotto says.

The helmets are available in sizes XS to Medium and have a flexible visor to protect against rain or sun.

"Parents rave about how user-friendly and secure the magnetic clip is while kids are big fans of the pinch-free closure that's fun to snap shut," she adds.

These TikTok-viral shoes are known as "'the comfiest shoe ever,'" Bergamotto notes, adding, "Our tester was one of the thousands who sang the praises of these water-resistant faux-leather/canvas steppers made from recycled plastic bottles: 'It feels like I'm walking on a cloud -- and it has the best heel cushioning of any sneaker I've tried!'"

"The concept of 'picnicking' has been around since the 14th century, and for a long time the accompanying merch felt like it was stuck way back in the past," Bergamotto says. "One of the things people love about this picnic set is how modern and convenient it is! An all-in-one backpack that's strategically packed with everything you need for a great meal at the park, beach, concert, tailgate, or hike!"

The backpack comes with four utensil sets, dinner plates, cotton napkins, wine glasses, a bottle opener, and more. It has comfortable shoulder straps and a cold storage compartment for your food.
