KidsDoTravel.co.uk Launches Stress-Free Staycation Products for Record Number of UK Holidaymakers

Added: (Mon Jan 30 2012)

Pressbox (Press Release) - Research by internet travel agent Expedia has revealed that Britons are increasingly shunning exotic holiday destinations in favour of a break in the UK. It reported a 10% rise in bookings for cities like London in 2011 with more of the same predicted for 2012. While a holiday at home means no fighting with luggage trolleys, airline delays and language barriers, it does mean potentially fraught car journeys with bored children. Kids Do Travel, the specialist website stocking unique travel products for children, has the solution in the shape of a series of new products and special offers, available now for those planning a 2012 UK break.

Already packed with essentials such as children’s luggage, overnight bags and children’s travel games, the website has added even more products guaranteed to shoot right to the top of any staycationer’s must have list. Making planning your holiday at home even easier, it also offers free delivery on orders over £50 – perfect for those wanting to enjoy two weeks by the seaside without breaking the bank.

As essential as sun block and sandwiches, Kids Do Travel has introduced several fun new items to its selection of suitcases for boys and girls. As well as traditional trolley-style bags decked in cute polka dots and stars, and a selection of hard and soft cases, there’s also a bigger choice of animal shaped backpack and suitcase sets. Cheri the Panda, Peko the Penguin and Pookie the Pig are fun and practical, with each 17” suitcase complimented with a matching animal-shaped backpack. While little girls can proudly sport cats, dogs, hearts and ponies, choices in the boys suitcase range include pirates, dinosaurs and ships.

No car journey would be complete without snacks. To encourage the kids to eat en-route, ditch the boring adult food containers and invest instead in a couple of fun children’s lunch bags and drinks bottles. Upon arrival at your holiday destination, they can be re-used for family picnics on the beach or school lunches later in the year. Products like the monkey lunch bag and ladybird lunch sac will stop food getting crushed during the drive and will also keep snacks fresh.
Whether at home or abroad, children’s travel games are an absolute must for any car journey longer than thirty minutes. The Kids Do Travel selection includes old favourites such as draughts and snap with activity sets and other ideas for things to do. Many can be played at the destination, in restaurants and the car, giving great value for money. They are priced from just £2.99, making for great-value entertainment that can be re-used again and again.

Louise Villis, founder of Kids Do Travel said, “From a young age we all look forward to going on holiday, but when it’s our turn to be the parent holidays take on a whole new challenge. Parents often feel anxious and apprehensive about travelling with young children, but with a little organisation and fore thought it should be a wonderful experience for the whole family. Kids Do Travel provides a one stop shop for parents, offering everything from practical advice to some very innovative products.“
