The Winter Guide to Travelling with Kids

Whether you’re off skiing or heading home for the holidays, we’ve collected the best (and most stylish) hacks to make your winter travels that little bit smoother…

The Stokke YOYO3, £399

It was one of my busiest, most glamorous friends who recommended the Stokke Yoyo. He had just returned from a week in Greece with his kids and was so exhausted, that he was looking forward to returning to work in the city for ‘some rest’. But if he had one recommendation for me, his expecting friend, it was…  ‘get a Stokke YOYO.’  And I’m in luck because Stokke has just unveiled the newest YOYO stroller: Stokke YOYO³.

This launch is the latest evolution of the iconic YOYO stroller that has transformed urban parenting with its innovative design. By listening and responding to the wishes and preferences of their customers, Stokke has taken the beloved YOYO to new heights with the Stokke YOYO³. This latest iteration builds on its reputation as a first of its kind on city streets worldwide and makes the best even better with new features.

These features include enhanced ventilation and a convenient peekaboo window. The extended canopy for superior sun protection and the reflective wheels now feature improved shock absorbers for a smoother ride.

Paddington Puppet from The Puppet Company, £24.99

Is there a better travelled bear than Paddington? Inspired by the preschool TV series The Adventures of Paddington, the brand-new TV Paddington Walking Puppet will truly allow little ones to explore, as Paddington can be made to walk, run, jump and dance with them. The puppet can move both the arms and legs – adding to the magic and play value, he even has his very own marmalade sandwich attached to his pocket by a ribbon. He’s sure to keep your little ones entertained whilst travelling, but maybe keep an eye on him – who knows where he’ll be off to now that he’s had his passport approved by The Home Office.
