When all you had to worry about was whether you could squeeze another paperback in the case, or whether the green sarong matched the blue bikini or if sleeping til midday would eat into your precious pool time.Anyone who has leapt over the fence into the garden of parenthood will tell you that holidays with toddlers are just as fun...but are now largely about expending energy rather than recharging batteries.

A two-year-old shouting cock-a-doodle-do (literally) at 6:30am, distraction techniques at 30,000ft, a potty training mishap on the hotel carpet...thank the lord the cocktails taste better in the sunshine. Two become three: Holidays will never be the same again...but there are plenty of clever products to make travels with a tot easier Roll on through: The Jet Stroller from Kiddicare Parents need to be canny to make family holidays run smoothly...and sometimes just having the right kit can keep the good ship toddler steady. Here, we review six products that lend themselves well to travel with ankle-biters. Pack light next time you are travelling with Kiddicare’s Jet stroller. It’s suitable from birth and reclines right back to accommodate the smallest baby or most exhausted toddler. Despite its compact size, the raincover successfully repelled torrential February rain at the British seaside and kept my two-year-old warm and dry.It features a five-point safety harness, lockable front wheels and a mesh shopping basket underneath.

Although the stroller is easy to fold, the catch to fasten it shut seemed a little loose – if I were checking this at the airport I would use extra tape or bungee cords to ensure it didn’t unfold in transit.Toddlers love to explore but sometimes you’d rather they didn’t stray too far. The LittleLife toddler daysacks have a detachable safety rein at the top so you can let them roam safe in the knowledge that they won’t topple into a Venetian canal, get lost in an unfamiliar city crowd or stray into the road. My toddler loved carrying her own special toys and books for the journey and seemed 99 per cent oblivious that she was actually on a set of reins restricting her little independent spirit. Plus I could sneak in spare nappies and wipes when my own handbag got too full.Where to buy: The rucksack costs £16.99, www.littlelife.co.uk Ideal for mini beachcombers: The LittleLife rucksack doubles up as reins and, right, a non-spill cup is essential for keeping surfaces clean

Take your seats: The Handy Chair high seat makes dining tables accessible for youngsters and, right, the Turtle Potty seat will mean ditching the nappies is a little more fun What's not to like about a potty that's shaped like a turtle? Getting your toddler to befriend their potty is hard enough at home let alone in holiday accommodation where little accidents might become more expensive. Like all good turtles, this one comes with a shell (ie a lid) which decreases the potential for spillage. It's fairly light so won't add too much to your luggage weight although it's probably wider than your average potty, meaning you'll need a little more packing space. The contoured design was definitely a hit though; it's easier to sit on than the more basic potties on the market. Snow reason to stop going on holiday: Toddlers love to travel The thing I liked most about the Handy Chair was that it made family dinners much more sociable. This portable seat straps to most dining room chairs and brings your toddler right up to the table.

The wooden seat and the poles that hold it in place are both adjustable meaning that young diners can use the table just like everyone else. A three-point safety harness ensures they're securely strapped in. The Handy Chair is reasonably light and folds flat for easy portability but you'll probably decide it is a little bulky for air travel. If you're holidaying by car though and can't guarantee there will be high chairs at the other end of your journey then it'll be viewed as a lifesaver. And actually it looks nice enough that you'll probably want to ditch your own high chair at home in favour of it. Children can use it from 18 months to five years so it has a long shelf life, which makes the price tag pretty good value. Light and easy: This travel cot keeps the kilos down and doubles up as a play tent Most travel cots are notoriously bulky and heavy – even the ‘lightweight’ ones can be around 9kg - but the LittleLife Arc 2 weighs in at just 2.25kg and packs down to a small carry case.
