We’re big fans of SUVs. They make road trips with two kids and a dog so much easier, giving everyone space and allowing plenty of room for a mountain of ‘essential’ holiday clobber. So when the team at Peugeot asked if we’d like to road test one of their cars it had to be the…
UPDATE: Foamë is no longer in business I’m always looking for fun ways to entertain the kids when we are travelling. Whether we are off on holiday by car, plane or most recently, by coach, I have something packed for them to play with during the journey. But the very best travel toys are the…
