Our super-cute and popular Toy Pods have had a makeover – not only are they great mini rucksacks for adventurous tots but now they also double up as Changer Pods too, allowing you and your child to get even more use out of your PacaPod!
The Telegraph magazine showcases the new Changer Toy Pod in Giraffe, available on pre-order now.
Dread packing for your family holiday? End up taking half the wardrobe only to find your children wearing the same thing for a fortnight?!?
The school holidays are finally here, and that means it’s time for mum to face the dreaded job of packing for the family holiday. With the kids insisting that all 83 inflatable pool toys they’ve accumulated need to go with them and the baby screaming in the background, dad’s gone off to google which inflight movie to watch on the plane and you’re left reminiscing about a time when your toughest decision would be whether to take 8 bikinis or 9 (i.e. the pre-children years).
Savvy parenting magazine Mumsense knows what we’re talking about and is here to lend a hand, offering advice on where to go and what to take. The PacaPod baby changing bag acts as the perfect piece of hand luggage for the plane journey – no more frantic scrabbling around in your bag for baby wipes while whacking elbows on arm rests (and on any unlucky passers-by) – you can relax and keep calm, knowing everything is in place.
If you thought the prospect of a relaxing summer holiday with a baby in tow was impossible then you might want to think again; the latest issue of The Sunday Times Travel magazine has chosen PacaPod as the perfect baby changing bag for family travels and adventures this year!
With June supposedly welcoming the start of summer (I’m sure the sunny weather is right around the corner, honest…) it’s time to get those last minute essentials for your impending two-week escape from this gloriously rainy country (otherwise known as your summer holiday).
Now, during your pre-baby years the most important items to remember to pack were the teeniest bikini to show off that pre-baby body (sigh) and enough spare Euros to set upon Duty Free like a kid in a sweetshop.
Alas, with the arrival of a baby comes the need to be that little bit more prepared; whilst travelling, your baby changing bag will have to be sanctuary of orderliness, this is why June’s issue of Pregnancy & Birth magazine has recommended the PacaPod Napier changing bag in Tutti Frutti for the job. Buy yours here and relax knowing that everything your baby needs is neatly tucked inside the PacaPod and at your side wherever your summer adventures take you.
With the festival season on the horizon, the latest edition of Baby London magazine has shared it’s Festival Essentials for families, featuring our PacaPod Almora changing bag. Load up the PacaPod and get ready for a day of trudging through muddy fields without worrying whether you’ve left the nappy cream or wet wipes back at the tent.
If you’re a parent, you won’t need telling that going to a festival with a baby in tow is a rather different experience from going pre-baby. But that doesn’t mean it’s any less enjoyable. The golden rule when attending a festival with a baby is to remember to take your sense of humour with you – things won’t always go to plan and routines won’t be adhered to, so instead of trying in vain to maintain your baby’s feeding and sleeping patterns, throw caution to the wind and embrace your spirit of adventure!
Not all festivals are suited to families and young children, so do your research before buying tickets, and don’t despair if your favourite festival in your pre-baby years doesn’t accommodate for families, choose a family-friendly festival you haven’t explored before and enjoy that your baby is leading you on a new adventure.
Family-friendly festivals are popping up all over the UK, here are our top choices:
Remember when attending a festival with your children, you must change your expectations. There’s no point in expecting to do the same things you did before you had your little one. Enjoy it for what it is – precious time to spend enjoying yourself with your baby. And if you’re still not convinced about camping with baby in tow, remember you can always stay in a nearby hotel instead!
On top of what you’d usually take in your PacaPod bag (click here for packing advice), here’s some suggestions for extra festival-related necessities:
As endorsed by Australia & New Zealand Magazine your adventures are truly limitless with the PacaPod Phoenix changing bag.
It looks like the PacaPod love is spreading far and wide, reaching the adventure-loving Antipodean community!
“One question – does the backpack attach to pram handles in the same way as the satchel and shoulder bags do? I haven’t found any clips..” – Jennie
We have really thought this through and decided that you might want to see the answer for yourselves. The Sling Bag is so versatile – (this is our personal favorite) using the clips at the base of the shoulder strap it can attach to all manner of transport…..
