Our travel essentials for travelling with children

During the summer holidays we are going on our first family holiday as a family of four. Whilst we are not jetting off to some exotic country abroad to enjoy the sun and sea instead staying in the UK as it is our first holiday as a family of four and we are also visiting family who we have not seen in a long time – in fact they have yet to meet Jelly Bean and he is now 1! - it is an exciting time for us.

As this is our first holiday with two young children and we have lots of travelling to do I am trying to be organised and prepared by planning, packing in advance and getting holiday essentials and products that will make travelling and the holiday itself a little easier. I hope by making use of certain products and being organised that the holiday will be a stress free one that we can all enjoy as we make memories of our first holiday together as four.

Summer babywearing wishlist.

As Jelly Bean gets bigger and heavier it is fast becoming apparent that our stretchy wrap cannot handle carrying him as well as it once it, considering he is now 9 months old I think our Boba stretchy wrap has served us well and been loved lots, numerous times a day on a daily basis!

With Jelly Bean outgrowing the stretchy wrap my thoughts have turned to what other wraps, carriers and accessories I would love to get so that we can carry on and compliment our babywearing journey.

With a summer of adventures with my boys ahead of me I hope that babywearing will be something we can still do (dependent on us being able to afford a new wrap or carrier). As babywearing will help us all enjoy adventures allowing Jelly Bean to be close to me and at the heart of the adventures and I love to dream about things I would love to buy if we were fortunate enough to have some 'spare' money in our tight family budget, here is my summer babywearing wish list -
