Top Tips for


easy travelling... Plan ahead


• allow plenty of time and try to be relaxed • if you are stressed or trying to get somewhere in a hurry, your child will pick up on this and is likely to become stressed too, as a result!


Be prepared Whatever the length of the journey, always take:


• a Journey Bag – a small bag to include spare nappies, wipes, kitchen towel, antiseptic cream, Calpol, plasters and a couple of spare plastic bags (always come in handy!).


• plenty of drinks & snacks – helpful if your journey is delayed.
