Making Travel Easier this summer

We love the school holidays, yeah! They are good fun and special family time. Travelling to the zoo, picnics in the park, visiting family and friends, long and short breaks away….

However you do it this summer you will be thinking about all the equipment that you will need to take (#thekitchensink). Travelling with children means lots of gear, so we have rounded up some great products to help keep you moving this summer and that may just save you a little bit of space in the car.

 

Carddies – Fun on the move £8.99

First up, when you go anywhere you need a little something to keep them entertained on the move. The Carddies card people are fun and very portable.

With a collection of 12 sets (Carddies London, Sports, School, Fairies, Cavemen, Football, Ballet, Knights, Family One and Two, Farm and Nativity), Made in the UK and very eco-friendly, Carddies suits girls and boys aged 3 to 10. 

 

Each set includes 12 colouring pencils, 12 premium card figures with stands, and a backdrop, all included in a sliding box.

So once the children have coloured them in they can play with the figures – great for the imagination and more fun once they are all coloured in.

At RRP £8.99 they won’t break the bank either. Find out more on the Carddies website.

 

Close Parent – Baby carrier £44.99

Why not break free of the buggy and carry your way through all your summer adventures with this great versatile baby carrier.

Caboo NCT is as simple with a newborn as it is with little nippers, and allows you the ultimate ‘hands free’ freedom. So whether it is climbing the steps of the coliseum or a leisurely evening stroll along the beach you can kick back and enjoy the experience rather than breaking a sweat trying to get four wheels to places they simply weren’t designed to go! While you explore your little one can safely snooze on the move and come feed time you can discreetly nurse in your Caboo. It is light compact and easy to store making it your perfect travel companion this summer.

Dad’s look great carrying too!
