Travelling with kids, especially the little ones, is not easy. In fact, holidaying with kids can sometimes leave you needing a holiday! Thankfully, these products for parents from Taxi Baby Co. can make travelling with kids easier!

Designed for children aged 4+, the mifold One is the most comfortable portable booster seat ever invented.

It's 10 times smaller than a traditional booster seat, yet just as safe. The mifold lowers the adult seat belt so that it's brought down from more delicate areas like your child's shoulder, face, neck and stomach and positioned on their shoulders, hipbones and across their lap.

Save your prams from destruction with a premium waterproof nylon bag that is designed to shield prams from getting wet, dirty or damaged.

• Plane Pal ($99.95) 

Enhance your travel experience with Plane Pal, an inflatable cushion made to improve the comfort of families travelling with children.

Plane Pal fills the space between your child’s seat and the seat in front, so that your child can stretch out and fall asleep or simply relax, without his legs dangling.

Made from high quality nylon, Plane Pal is lightweight, compact and comes with a pump for stress free, easy inflation after take-off. Plane Pal can also be used on trains and buses and for car travel.

• Packing Pals ($35.90) 

Packing Pals are premium quality packing cubes that help to ease the stress of packing for the family. Here is your chance to KonMari your suitcase!

• Plan well in advance.

This helps to get the best deals in booking flights and hotels. 

• Choose your holiday destination wisely. 

Look for places where the kids have something to do, like swimming, games, playgrounds, carnivals, fun parks and movies.

Try to buy the attractions tickets online. You usually end up saving more that way, plus it will save you a lot of time queuing up.

Also, do your research well. Is it going to be hot? Is it going to be cold? How safe is the place? Are there any precautions you need to take? What are the best places to visit? 

• Get travel insurance

So many things can go wrong during travel, from losing your baggage to falling sick. And getting medical attention in a foreign country can be super expensive. 

Getting a travel insurance can help you feel fully relaxed while you’re travelling with kids.

• Pack wisely

Make sure to carry enough diapers, bottles and baby wipes if you are travelling with really young kids.

• Don't over-cram your day.

Plan more breaks and fewer activities, so you have more time to rest.

• Kids get too hungry too often, so make sure to carry plenty of snacks with you.

It also helps to have frequent stops for meals and drinks to keep everyone’s energy levels up.

• Dont forget to pack these medical essentials:

• Paracetamol or ibuprofen (to relieve aches and pains)
• Antihistamine (for mild allergic reactions)
• Motion sickness medicine (if travelling with children, or by train, bus, car or boat)
• Plasters, bandages, gauze pads and tape (for minor wounds or abrasions)
• Antiseptic cream (to prevent infection)
• Rehydration sachets (for stomach bugs)
