You can’t believe how many equipment a young child absolutely must have nowadays. And when that child travels, believe me, it’s a major logistical nightmare to lug around all those baby or toddler stuff. Apart from the suitcase with ten thousand clothes, there’s the carseat, the stroller, the booster seat, the rocker, the playgym… Man, […]
