Buggy/Stroller - ours is the Uppababy Vista and we bring the Rumble seat for our two year old so both can sit if they get tired.The four of us travelled with a 15kg suitcase (for the hubby and I), and a 20kg suitcase for the kids’ stuff. We were self-catering and had a hire car which had an impact on some of my choices. This was for a one-month trip to a warm climate with a two-year-old and an 8 month-old. My list of ‘essentials’ has grown exponentially since having kids, but I’d be lost without them. As relaxed and slow-paced as it was, life was made a lot easier by having certain essentials with us. Or the long weekend we spent in Paris, where, alongside the Louvres, Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower we also found secret playgrounds, city parks and even had pizza delivered to our picnic blanket by a bike carrying a pink balloon.īut perhaps the most memorable of all was the lazy month we spent in a gîte (an old converted farmhouse) in the southwest of France, waking up to fields of sunflowers in the mornings and walking to the local bakery for fresh baguettes. Like the week we spent in Barcelona and Montserrat, cycling around the city with our then 18 month-old taking in the sights. ![]() ![]() These days, our holidays are different, slower and we pack less in (experientially, not physically), we’re still parents (so it’s not truly a holiday…!) and the broken sleep has travelled with us, but in many ways we know we’ll look back on these as being among the most memorable trips of all. But as time went on we slowly came back around to the idea. And then we had our first baby and when we would routinely pack as much crap to go to the supermarket as we had to spend a month in Thailand pre-baby, we couldn’t ever imagine it being worth the hassle again. My husband and I always promised ourselves that having a baby wouldn’t stop us from travelling.
