Winds me up this sort of stuff does. My 7 year old suffers from hypermobility and low muscle tone and very often finds standing painful. He would be mortified if I asked someone to give up their seat for him! In fact he’s normally the first up and offering his seat if we’re on busy public transport

Horrendously frustrating. I live on the estate at greenbank and yesterday took my kids to the comic con in town. £3.45 return on the train into Northwich, £4 each way on the bus (I only have 1 over 5 and he has problems with his legs hence the need to use public transport). I had to carry the...

Hes the most laid back out of all my 4! Would literally just feed and sleep. When he started that god damn annoying shrieking/squealing they like to do, that was when it was no longer appropriate for us anymore so we stopped.

I used to always book the quiet coach when my youngest was smaller. He was easily over stimulated which made him grumpy and was easily distracted whilst feeding. We did this till he was about 6 months old. We did have a man in a suit ask if we were in the right seats once

I'm sorry but have some respect. Someone has lost a life tonight. A family have lost a loved one. A drivers life changed possibly forever.

My 4 year old would have loved this but sadly it's his preschool end of year party on the same day and he loves bouncy castles just a little bit more! Is this something they put on every year?

This is where baby wearing comes in handy! No need for a pram then. Used to work brilliantly till she started pulling my hair and biting me! However, as I will have 4 by this summer, I'm pretty glad I've passed my test

I struggle with my daughter's single pram too but bizarrely not the double. We have a joie aire twin and despite being one of the cheapest (the reason we got it) it's extremely public transport friendly. I agree with some of the other posts about it not always being easy to entertain/restrain...

Manchester Piccadilly to Blackpool one Thursday during the last summer holidays with my then 9 month old, just turned 3 year old and 5 year old. 2 youngest were in a double pram only inches wider than a single. We had with us a changing bag, a change of clothes in a kiddie rucksack for the boys...

Sadly, this trip is looking at being pushed back to Feb half term as poor lad has broke his foot (he slipped off a curb).

I use the 1 route in northwich regularly with my mother. She has a shopping trolley usually and I always have my daughter who will be 1 next month. I like them...she doesn't although we did have to let one go without us on Thursday ad there was already 2 ladies with shopping trolleys on the bus...

Fantastic. That sounds exactly like what I am looking for. Thanks for the suggestion

I'm in need of some help because I'm clueless and don't know where to start. My son is 3 and train mad. He loves nothing more than trips on trains, watching trains on YouTube and of course, at 3 years old he obviously loves playing with trains. We went to Blackpool on the train 2 weeks ago...

I'm looking to treat the kids to a day out at the seaside one day next week. I live in northwich so we are fairly handy for a fair few places. However, my 3 year old has chosen Blackpool declaring it "his" beach when he saw it on the tv just now. After a nightmare journey on Saturday for the...

Thanks for all the advice. I've managed to sort a lift thankfully.

Thanks. My daughters appointment is 1:10pm so will leave an hour earlier than planned originally.

I am so glad I came on here for a browse before bed as I have to get to alder hey tomorrow from Hartford. Does anyone know how I would go about that now?

Well said. My kids are loud. Well behaved but loud. Excitable, happy curious boys who are like little sponges sucking up there surroundings, sights, sounds etc. If anyone ever told me to make them keep there Noise down, they would be told. It happened on a bus last week where the big one and the...

Now you see, my eldest does struggle to sit still. He has a development delay and is currently at a 2.5yr old level in some aspects of his development. However, this is not and will not be used as an excuse for unwanted behaviour. If for instance, he was kicking someone's shins (not the kind...

It drives me mad! And then they wonder why the children misbehave! The only time I've ever had an issue with either boy was when we stopped outside Crewe for over 60 minutes a while back. There's only so much talking, colouring etc you can do and my eldest did get a bit ratty/cranky and started...
