Summertime for our family is time for fun in the sun. Family adventure time and hopefully a little holiday or two. Packing for a holiday with little ones in tow can be quite an ordeal. It can mean you are frazzled before the car has left the driveway!

If I can be so bold as to offer some advice, (learned the hard way I may point out), before you consider buying a bigger car, trailer or truck in order to fit all the stuff you need packed for a summer holiday, have you considered a baby carrier? Baby carriers and slings are the perfect companion for you and your little one(s) for holidays of any kind. They pack up small and then can take you so many places you often want to be and yet just can’t get to with a pram:  beach walks, bush tracks, festivals and markets. They are a fantastic option for airports or transit of any kind when having your hands free can be a huge advantage. It wasn’t really until baby #2 that we discovered the ‘stress-less’ advantage of a baby carrier and now with baby # 3 there’s no turning back – I couldn’t holiday without mine!

If you are keen to holiday in ease this year (or are a grandparent/auntie/uncle/good friends wanting to give a thoughtful and useful gift this Christmas) then head to Babes In Arms – www.babesinarms.com.au – where you’ll find a selection of the best baby carriers and slings the world wide web has to offer.
