Pack Wisely
Snack Attack: Bring a variety of snacks. Familiar and favourite snacks can be a comfort in an unfamiliar place. Having an assortment on hand can save your sanity during unexpected delays or when 'acceptable' snacks aren't available.
Entertainment Arsenal: Pack a bag of entertainment essentials for the flight. Think colouring books (also acceptable adult entertainment!), travel-sized board games, and electronic devices loaded with child-friendly apps and movies for those long flights or waits at the airport.
Extra everything: Kiddies get into messy situations, and extra clothes will keep everyone comfortable and happy.
Things get lost: Little ones often have a special blanket or toy from which they're inseperably. Pack a dublicate or acceptable replacement, just in case.
Always charged: We applaud families that have device-free holidays, but for the rest, invest in a power bank and keep it close on flights and long journeys.
Sanitise: No need to worry about the germs when you pack hand sanitiser. Buy a travel-sized hand sanitiser, attach it to the nappy bag or backpack, and sanitise after using public facilities.
Don't forget the wet wipes: Perfect for sticky hands (theirs and yours).
