New Website Gives Parents Confidence To Travel With Babies
Travelling with babies and young children doesn't need to be a daunting venture into the unknown thanks to a new website www.holidaywithbaby.com. The site combines well researched travel information with a range of suggested baby friendly holiday destinations catering for every budget. It also includes independent reviews from parents and an online shop to purchase holidays essentials.
Founded by parents who are passionate about travel , holidaywithbaby serves as an online community in which users can share holiday diaries and review holiday providers honestly, helping other parents make better informed decisions on where to travel. Unlike similar sites which tend to focus on the luxury end of the market, holidaywithbaby features a broad range of holidays to suit every budget and lifestyle, from camping to luxury hotels.
"Most parents are desperately in need of a holiday, yet travelling with babies and young children can be very difficult, particularly the first time round. You have no idea what to pack, what you'll need once you're there and which destinations are child friendly," explains Awla Sanghrajka, mother of two and founder of holidaywithbaby. "Based on our own extensive personal travel experiences and years of research, we've created a comprehensive guide to make it easy for other parents to get a break by providing everything they need in one place. We want to give them the confidence to keep travelling with their little one and to enjoy it too!"
Key features on the site are:
Research and advice including
How to plan a holiday depending on your baby's age
Different types of childcare options available on holiday
How to get there with tips for different modes of transport
Destination guides so you know what to expect once you get there and include details like which brands of baby food are available in a particular country
Different types of holiday accommodation options with the pros and cons of each
Holiday diaries from other parents and the chance to post your own diary

"We really want parents to contribute to the site by giving us their personal reviews of places they've been, suggestions for other destinations they might have discovered or even travel tips they'd like to share," says Sanghrajka. "As the site evolves, we will be adding suggestions on how to get cheaper airport parking, car hire companies that understand the need of families and travel insurers with good deals."
