Great news for customers with twins or 2 rear facing kids. We are now authorised to change the tether on a variety of Britax seats to allow the adjuster to sit doorside when RF on the driver’s side of the car. This is an extra service to fittings so will incur an extra charge. It CANNOT be done at home by you. IMPORTANT NOTE: Tethers MUST be put back into original mode by a an authorised fitter when seats are switched to forward facing mode. Contact us now for more information on this service. 

With 7 kids between us, here at Baby Things we've had a bit of experience with family road trips and air travel. Toys and activities to occupy them and keep things organised are key. Here are our favourite products for a low-stress trip: TeeBee - this little triangular box is specifically shaped to fit between kids legs while they sit in the car, on the plane or at Grandma's. Complete with a Lego compatible tray they can keep their kit insode and use the wings as a play surface. Food safe plastic means it can go undercover as a snack box....

When travelling with small ones safety is obviously still important. Remember these vital points: Check child restraint laws in destination state or country. Either hire a) a seat in advance and be very clear about your requirements or b) take your seat with you. If travelling with your seat but not using it on the aircraft, pack it into a plastic bag and a box in order to avoid damage. Check with your airline in advance re allowances / guidelines for car seats onboard or as baggage. Make sure you know how to fit your seat properly using a seat belt...
