15. Fruit Shoots
Packing a couple of small fruit shoot type drinks (ensure these fit in your fluid restrictions if flying) are a fab way to keep the little ones hydrated . They’re also refillable so don’t throw them away – keep them to refill . Top tip – buy a small bottle of the super concentrated squash and refill the bottles – the kids remain pleased they’re getting a “treat” drink and your wallet remains pleased as the refill value
On the topic of fluids : Remember to pack a reusable water bottle and encourage your little travellers to stay hydrated. Happy snacking and safe travels! 🚗✈️
