Off to sunny Spain...

Tomorrow, my husband and I are taking our two little ones and 15 year old Charis to Spain for a much needed holiday. As well as an opportunity to relax and enjoy a sandy beach (and hopefully some sunshine), it gives Charis a chance to practise her Spanish and get a feel for the language to help her with her GCSE.

I am normally terrible when it comes to holiday preparation. I pack for every eventuality and throw in a few more things for good measure. I invariably end up bringing back a whole lot of unused things that would have been much better off left at home! This time, I am breaking the habit and using "Travel Light" as my mantra. I am convinced that the less burdened I am with unnecessary luggage, the freer I will be to enjoy my holiday. I have packed frighteningly little but am determined that I won't have an eleventh hour panic and start filling additional bags with 'just in case' items.

I will be taking our Peppa Pig Mini Sketchy Fun for Addy's amusement and we will be trying out our Kiddy Guardian Pro 2 car seat for the hour long drive to the airport at silly o'clock in the morning (full report on how we get on with that to follow).

I shall be going to bed shortly to get a few hours sleep before our adventure begins so I shall bid you Adios for now. Back in a week!

Leave mum to do the packing while we chase bubbles!

The Kiddy Guardian Pro 2

I was really pleased to be asked to review one of the latest Kiddy car seats. I chose the Kiddy Guardian Pro 2 and it arrived a couple of days ago.

This couldn't have come at a better time because we have some long car journeys planned over the coming weeks and my son has taken to wriggling out of the harness of his current car seat. Obviously this presents a danger with him not being correctly restrained and with me leaning over the front seat to try and wrestle him back in. It doesn't seem to matter what adjustments I make to the straps, he persists until he breaks free. I am hopeful that the design of the Kiddy Guardian Pro 2 will make it very much harder for him to perform his Houdini tricks!

I will be posting about how we get on with the new Kiddy seat in terms of ease of use, suitability, comfort and safety but for now, no prizes for guessing what the children were most excited about!
