Thanks for the suggestion but we're actually quite a low-tech family so no Alex / Google device.

We've opted for a piece of paper on the wall with the schedule which the kids are actually using -...

We've just taken our kids out of pre-school and daycare so they can stay home with us. Hard decision but just trying to do what we think is right (our government here in Australia is not being very...

So trip postponed til next year.... no prize for anyone guessing why!

Plus size next year we’ll have a 3.5 year old instead of 2.5 so no nappies! Yey for less packing!

Anyone thoughts on own...

Narrowing down my packing now, looks like we'll check-in both A30 and A45 with most of our clothes and have a small backpack and duffle as carry-on.

Luggage situation:
- Pram (folds up small so...

Thanks for all the awesome suggestions. My kids love Lego so that's an awesome idea! Also thinking maybe the Cadbury Factory in Birmingham.... anyone been? Reviews?

Oh and Itinerary, each place...

Little update - I have decided we should check-in at least one of the aeronauts (probably the A45 as it's bigger) or possibly both. Check-in luggage is free with our tickets so I don't see the hassle...

Great post, thanks for sharing. My kids are still in the nappy phase (well one anyway) and I haven't got a PU but I feel like this is a really good post to support why it's not just a nappy bag and I...

Great thread!

While in Japan heading to catch the Shinkansen one morning we decided to stop and pick-up coffee and breakfast to take on the train. With my A30 on my back and small crossbody bag...

Amazing photo's - thanks for sharing! Where are those amazingly shaped rocks?

Semi-related question, does anyone here know if you can take a rental car from London over to Ireland on the ferry then up to Northern Ireland and into Scotland on the ferry? I've heard rental car...

Have you tried? https://merinoandco.com.au/womenswear/merino-dresses-skirts

They have only a few but maybe something suitable for you?

A30 in Japanese Shinkansen in June - my first one bag travel trip and it was perfect!

I love it too! So happy with it. And yes as we're road tripping it'll be great to keep everything organised in cubes. Packable tote bag is in our "dopp kit" - basically all the small stuff that I...

Forgot to mention, we'll be leaving from Autumn here so it'll be cold when we head off and I'll be wearing my merino wool cardigan and rain coat. I'm planning to back a bikini top that can double as...

Below is the updated packing list that matches the above photos - have I gone too far and taken not enough?! This excludes what we're wearing on the plane.

Me
6 undies
3 socks
1 bras
3 tops...

One kids clothes first packed in the Trunki (only took up half of it)

Ok, so test pack of the third option packing list found I could squeeze (and I mean squeeze, really no spare space at all) all the kids clothing plus mine into the A30! This is kids only taking one...

Thanks so much for this! I've never bought Keen brand (but have been looking at it) so really appreciate you letting me know you love it, thanks again.

Hi all,

I am after the golden unicorn - shoes for my kids that means we only need to take (i.e. wear) the one pair when we travel and not pack any additional ones!

Therefore I'm after...

Thanks so much for all the advice, really appreciate it. I’m looking for waterproof trainers right now! They seem like the prefect solution. My boys both wear their trainers almost all the time here...

“Beach in Scotland”?!

Glad your trip was such a success - do both you’re kids have the 12L Luminary? Also which bag did you take?

Two more questions - did you take your stroller? And which kids...

@Christina, how'd you go? Hope you had a great time and your kids carried their own bags and never lost them :)

Bumping in here (hope that’s ok @Chill) - I am also looking at getting the co-pilot as a EDC of the essentials for travel. I took my A30 away with a tiny leather crossbody bag and it drove me nuts...

Sorry if I missed this but are your kids both girls? If not, have you got a packing list and/or test pack for your son?

We stayed at “Hotel the Flag” in Shinshibashi which was really amazing. It’s right in the middle of a very busy area but the hotel itself is very calm and modern with a very cool vibe. Highly...
