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.
