Travel
should always be an enriching experience. Travelling with family even more so.
Here are the accessories you need to make travelling with your family as simple
and comfortable as possible.
Portable Travel Cot
If
you look around, you can find portable travel cots that can also double as a
miniature play yard. These are excellent for travelling with toddlers, ensuring
that they are never bored (if only) and always able to put their head down if
they need to. The Lotus Travel Crib is the specific crib that we
are looking at, but there are other options available.
Egg Pram Travel System
The
egg
travel system is a pram that seamlessly blends form and function.
There are several variants available in the egg line, but it’s the egg travel
system that we are interested in. As the name suggests, this is a version of
the egg that is optimised for travel. This is a high-end pram, and it is worth
every penny.
Baby Bjorn Baby Carrier
Many
parents start off with a baby sling, fearing that a full carrier will be too
bulky and awkward. However, a carrier distributes the weight of your baby
across both of your shoulders, making it much easier to carry. A sling is worn
on one side and so leads to fatigue much sooner. A carrier is much easier to
use when you are travelling, especially if a baby isn’t the only thing that you
will be carrying with you.
4-Wheel Spinner Suitcase
A
wheeled suitcase is by far the best way of packing your luggage, especially
heavier luggage. The wheels mean that you can minimise the amount of energy you
need to use to carry all the items in the suitcase, especially when compared to
carrying them in a backpack or shoulder bag. When you do need to carry the
suitcase, your arms and shoulders aren’t already exhausted.
The
4-wheel spinner suitcase comes in adult and
child variants and is by far the best way of moving luggage around. Kids will
have no trouble dragging a small wheeled suitcase behind them. They might even
enjoy it!
A Tablet and a Case
Tablets
are fantastic tools for kids, as long as you give them the right apps, of
course. If you have trouble convincing your kids to go on long hikes, a tablet
can be a great way of luring them outdoors. There are some very rugged albeit
bulky cases available for tablets that make them all but indestructible. They
might set you back another £30, but considering how much the tablet itself
costs it is a small price to pay for peace of mind.
Kelty Hiking Carrier
Experienced
and serious hikers will be used to travelling with the weight of their gear.
Adding the weight of a baby on top, while a relatively small change, can make
hiking more difficult. Until you have gotten used to the extra weight, you will
inevitably get fatigued much sooner. The Kelty hiking carrier is an ideal
solution.
Not
only is it comfortable to wear, but it also features a lightweight kickstand
that turns it into a portable seat for little ones when you want to stop and
rest.
With
the right gear, travelling with young children should be a breeze. If you have
newborns, switching up your accessories can make a big difference to your
comfort and convenience while travelling.
