17 tips for travelling with kids

Travelling with kids can be a real rollercoaster ride, a mix of fun and chaos that can make even the most experienced parent want to pull their hair out. But fear not, because we're here to give you some tips and tricks to make sure your trip goes as smoothly as possible. So buckle up, hold on tight, and let's take a ride through the wild world of family travel!

Our top 3 tips

1. Take more time to plan
  • Be organised - book where you lay your head well in advance, and think carefully about arrival and departure times.
  • Have a travel plan.
  • Get well prepared for various eventualities.

2. Write a packing list

Write that family packing list of what you’ll need to take and then slowly cut it down as you try getting everything in your packs. You might even decide to go on a ‘test holiday’ over a long weekend to see how your packing stands up.



3. Arrange some fun for the journey

Getting to your destination should be as much fun as being there, so prepping lightweight books, toys and even screen entertainment will help keep the journey exciting. You won’t want to shut your kids off from the world completely as the train rolls on, but having these as options will be a lifesaver.

Compare our puffer styles

What makes puffer jackets ideal for winter?
Puffer jackets are renowned for their superior warmth-to-weight ratio, making them an excellent choice for cold weather. Filled with responsibly sourced down, Kathmandu’s men’s puffer jackets [https://www.kathmandu.com.au/collections/mens-puffer-coats] provide exceptional insulation without adding bulk. For added versatility, explore our lightweight puffers [https://www.kathmandu.com.au/collections/mens-lightweight-puffers], perfect for layering or milder days.

Are hooded jackets better for winter?
Yes, hooded jackets offer extra protection against wind and cold, especially in extreme conditions. Many of our men’s puffer jackets feature adjustable hoods for a customizable fit. For even more wind resistance, consider pairing your puffer with one of our wind and softshell jackets [http://kathmandu.com.au/collections/mens-wind-softshells].

How do I choose between a down jacket and synthetic insulation?
Down jackets, like those in our men’s puffer collection, provide unmatched warmth and compressibility, making them ideal for freezing temperatures. Synthetic insulation, while slightly heavier, performs better in wet conditions. For rainy days, layer your puffer with one of our men’s rain jackets [https://www.kathmandu.com.au/collections/mens-rain-jackets] for added water resistance.

Can puffer jackets be used for outdoor activities?
