OT: Need advice for a camcorder

Very long story short. My wife and I are in the market for a new camcorder to help document family trips in the coming years. With our kid just getting into the "holy shit, please get off the table, WTF why are you on the... OMG stop jumping on the rocking chair you moron" we know that we probably want something to handle the situations our phones can't use, so we're probably most likely in the market for an action camera that can take a little bit of a beating.

Currently, I have my eye on the GoPro Hero 7 Black, and I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with it. The image stabilization looks damn impressive, and the picture is great as well. But, I have read a lot of reviews that basically say the battery life is downright atrocious. For those of you who have experience, is this true, and if so, just how bad is it?

Also, does anyone have any other suggestions?
