Overseas holidays or city breaks - in foreign countries

The suitcase is full to bursting. We now need room for X number of Mum's outfits, but also for the many things we need when we have kids. Taking on one more suitcase? It's just too much. Small items such as a cuddly toy, dummy, book, milk powder, bottle, etc. can be packed into a small suitcase or rucksack. Don't forget the neck support pillow for optimum comfort.

For the hire car, taxi or high tables - an inflatable booster seat is ideal for slightly older children, as it's not always possible to hire child seats and you won't find high chairs in every restaurant. For tired feet, there's nothing like a folding pushchair. A folding pushchair is also perfect for planes, as it makes life easier if you have to wait a long time or walk long distances at the airport. The harness can be used as extra security in the pushchair, highchair or if you're heading into town. [[product:410310,5715429,6031728]]

Holidays on a farm - when cows and goats take over

Have you chosen to spend your holiday on a farm? The crowing of the cock marks the start of the day. As well as petting the calves and lambs, riding the horses and feeding the chickens, you'll enjoy an excellent country breakfast. Strolling through the forest or fields and stopping for a ten o'clock or four o'clock snack on a blanket are an added pleasure to everyday life on the farm. Never forget the changing bag with all the spare essentials.

As this kind of place rarely has a kettle and a cot in the bedroom, you often also need to think about taking a bottle warmer and a travel cot. If you don't know what's waiting for you there, take them with you to be on the safe side. Don't forget the baby monitor if you want to spend romantic evenings by the fire with your other half.

Hiking holidays - the call of the mountains

Far from civilisation, in the peace and quiet and in perfect harmony with nature. That's how you imagine a great hike. Climbing over rocks, watching deer, chamois or marmots through binoculars. Take time to concentrate on your breathing and have a picnic by a mountain lake. If you bring enough to eat and drink, you can take full advantage of this outing to relax while doing some sport.

Pack a small changing bag to be prepared for all eventualities. Take a change of clothes with you if you're going for a walk by the water, because, as we all know, children love water and can't resist it.

Pack a small changing bag so you're prepared for every eventuality.

Seaside holidays - new home is a sandcastle and Daddy is a knight

One sandcastle after another. After a long day at the beach, by the lake or in the sandpit - we find huge constructions. Daddy is the knight and protects Queen Mummy and the little princes from the big bad monster. To keep the holidays fun, you'll need the right clothes, good sun protection and everything you need for swimming. I've already put together the necessary items for you: [[marketingpage:4505]]

Rainy holidays - the sky is crying

The best organisation is no use if all you expect is sunshine. It can rain anywhere, even in summer. The standard programme falls by the wayside and you quickly have to find other things to do. You should always have a plan B for this kind of situation. Either the holiday turns into a bathing holiday in an indoor swimming pool or in the bath, or you face up to the bad weather and dress accordingly. We also plan board games, outings to restaurants or visits to theme parks.
