With the school holidays coming up (or starting now, if you’re in Tassie!) I bet a whole heap of you are planning to go away somewhere. It doesn’t matter if it’s overnight to grandma’s house, or a two week trip to Disneyland, you’re going to need some bits and pieces to keep the kids amused and organised, and the place head first is Little Explorers - www.littleexplorers.com.au.

HOT TIP: If you’re scratching your head on what to do this holidays, you can search through Little Explorers’ directory of fun, exciting, kid-friendly places to go, and gather info on taking the kids outdoors and travelling with their FREE articles.

Ok, so now you’ve decided to go on the road, what do you need?

First of all you’ll need a bag to pack the multitudes of gear in.  With a range from Rush, GR8X and Kiddysac, and some sweet little changemat clutches from ChangeMates to pop in your bag for any little ones still in nappies, you have no excuse not to find something gorgeous - and the great thing about the Rush trolley suitcases is that they’re so easy to spot on the baggage reclaim circuit!

Next you need to find things to put in the new bag.  Swimwear is usually an essential packing item for any holiday with active kids, and Little Explorers have a huge amount to choose from for girls and boys.  What about Cuddlefish at heavily reduced prices? Zoggs are there too, along with 2Chillis, Major Menace and Loose Boots among others. There’s even a section of floaties for the smallest family members.

The last thing to make sure you have before you get on the road is something to feed the kids with!  Eating accessories are ultra-important when you’re travelling - after all, nobody wants to deal with kids who are low on blood sugar!! - so make sure you have a lunchbox packed full of healthy snacks and a drink bottle to hand at all times, plus of course Kipiis are invaluable if you have a messy little eater and the HandySitt portable high chair/booster seat is a nifty way of avoiding those nasty, filthy high chairs that seem to populate airports and such places.

Now make absolutely certain that you don’t miss the super Sale Section at Little Explorers.  It’s huge and packed full of delicious discounts, including top brands at up to 50% off! They’re only there while stocks last, so go go go!

Now that the weather is warming up, I cannot wait to get to the beach!  It’ll be my boy’s first summer where he’s old enough to really enjoy the water and I want to make the most of it.

However, I do worry about his safety around the water and his delicate skin, which is why I’m thrilled to have found Little Explorers - www.littleexplorers.com.au.

With a huge range of gear for ‘out and about’ families including swimwear, bags and travel accessories to name but a few of their categories, I was able to find everything we’ll need for aquatic summer fun and hassle-free travel.

First of all, I do adore the Cuddlefish range - 50+ UV protective fabric and in-built removable floats, these suits also look adorable!  I love how you can just put them on the kids and you’re good to go, no need to worry about floaties every time they want to go back in the water!  I’m also very impressed with the prices on Cuddlefish at Little Explorers; they’re the cheapest I’ve seen anywhere!

There’s a heap of other cool swimwear for girls and boys, plus towels and swim accessories from hot brands like 2 Chillis, Loose Boots, SwimTrainer and more - and don’t miss the Kiddysac Swim Bags which are hot property. You’re good to go!

If you’re going away this summer, make sure you pay a visit to the Travel section of the site for some brilliant products designed to take the stress out of travel with children.  The LittleLife Compact Travel Bed is one such example - weighing well under 1kg, it’s an ideal bed for babies when you’re not at home, and it’s really well priced!  Likewise the 2-in-1 Harness Buddies and the Squidy Neck Pillows are really neat for travel - one stops your toddler from making a bid for freedom where it’s not safe to do so, and the other will reduce whinging on long car or plane journeys!

Also check out the Sale section for some brilliant bargains from designers like Sigg, MacPac, Yoko Ono, 2 Chillis, Cuddlefish, and the list goes on.

KSFers, you’ll be thrilled about this piece of information: until 22 November you can get 10% off at Little Explorers store-wide!  Given that most of the items are already below recommended retail prices, you’re going to scoop some brilliant savings here.  Enter ‘KSF’ at checkout to redeem your extra 10% discount.

There’s a super great range to choose from, as Little Explorers stocks products from Sigg, Kipiis, Danish By Design, Baby Banz, Akapipik, GR8X, MacPac, Cuddlefish, Goldbug, 2 Chillis, Zoggs, Outlook, Mr Wolf, Sitro Group, Austin, Kiddysac, Lima Bean, Freds, LittleLife, Dumpling Dynasty, Be, Annabel Trends and Loose Boots.

Now that you’ve stocked up on all the essentials for getting out and about with the kids this summer, you may be wondering where to take them.  Well don’t worry, Little Explorers can help with that too!  Have a look at their FREE articles on taking the kids outdoors and travelling, and search through their directory of fun, exciting, kid-friendly places to go.
