We've all been there- having to make tough decisions about whether to pack more nappies or less wedges in our summer holiday luggage. 'Let's go crazy and just buy nappies in the resort!' doesn't seem such a great decision when you're handing over £18 a pack in the Supermercardo. And what about the inevitable panic about just which liquids are OK to go in your handluggage, and trying to get your tot to down 8oz of milk, before it's taken off you at passport control. Or, our personal favourite of chucking away perfectly good tennis racquets to get bags under the weight limit in a dash to catch our plane.
What about if we told you these issues could be a thing of the past? Have you heard of Travel Tots?
They are a new travel service, which make travelling and holidaying with a baby easier. Parents can simply log onto www.traveltotsuk.com and pre order everything their baby will need whilst away from nappies to formula, sun cream to shampoo, pureed fruit to armbands. Travel Tots UK then pack and deliver so it’s waiting on arrival at the holiday destination.
With no luggage allowance for children under two (which seems a nonsense given the sheer volume of 'stuff' which somes with a mini person), and average baggage allowances 2kg less than the weight of a full suitcase, it’s easy to get hit with excess baggage costs when travelling with children. Add into that the hassle of suitcases full of weaning pouches going missing, cartons of baby milk leaking over luggage or an essential item forgotten, and a relaxing family holiday suddenly becomes quite stressful.
Travel Tots UK delivers to private holiday homes, hotels & apartments, yachts and rented villas across the world, from the Canary Islands to Costa Rica, Nepal to New Zealand. All packages are sent safely wrapped and are tracked at every stage of their journey.
The company offers a wide range of trusted brands including; Pampers, Huggies Aptamil, Cow& Gate, Hipp Organic, Heinz, Ella’s Kitchen and SMA – perfect for sensitive stomachs or children with allergies, and anything else that is a necessity for any child or parent that rely on tried and tested products often unavailable in foreign supermarkets, Travel Tots will happily add items to the website that families require or need to make travelling with children easier.
Travel Tots UK is the brainchild of a former private maternity nurse, Kimberley Berry who offers that personal touch. She says, “The health and happiness of a baby whilst away can make or break a family holiday. With the stress of trying to get everyone ready to leave, it’s easy to over pack or forget the baby milk. This service aims to provide parents with the guarantee that their baby’s key needs have been met before they even leave the house.”
We have in fact used the service ourselves and it was a complete god send, made even greater by the ironic fact that the bag we had packed ourselves containing remaining baby stuff decided to arrive in Dubai 2 days after we did. At least we had food & nappies from Travel Tots, so baby could make do with gift shop t-shirt for a while.
