We’ve all heard it a thousand times… Are we there yet?, I need to go to the toilet (for the tenth time!), I’m hungry/thirsty… and this is all before we’ve left the street! Unfortunately for us parents, children just aren’t cut out for travelling further than the corner shop. Thanks to the arrival of the Kids Travel Traykit, things have changed.

These gorgeous backpacks look deceivingly like any other bag. Open them up and you’ll discover various pockets for storing all sorts of goodies needed on any trip. Think colouring in books, pencils, puzzles, Nintendo DS, games and so on. The TrayKit opens up to reveal a perfect play surface with extendable raised sides that is ideal strapped to an aeroplane tray table or hanging from the front car seat. Not only that, when the kids arrive at their destination, they can take their backpack with them. With the kids kept busy, Great Grandma’s prized family heirlooms will live to fight another day!

Available from My Busy Bag for $49.95.
