  1. CASE CLOSED: Parents can bag a bargain on kids’ luggage at Sports Direct, which is selling a Trunki-style case for just £19.99. The Star Wheelie Case even has a similar dip on the top for children to sit on. With the original retailing at £39.99, it’s a whopping £20 saving for you.
    SAVE: £20
  2. SLEEP TIGHT: Finding a reasonably priced travel cot can be a challenge. But George at Asda’s Red Kite Sleeptight cot, which is suitable for newborns and up, is only £30. It is easy to fold away and has padded top rails to protect toddlers — plus it is far cheaper than similar versions sold at John Lewis for £50.
    SAVE: £20
  3. SAFE FROM ’ARM: If you’re heading to the beach or somewhere with a pool, pack some armbands. At £1.99, B&M’s Disney options won’t break the bank. I also love poundshop.com’s £1 Mr Men and Little Miss bands — they’re adorable. Plus, they cost £4.99 less than Speedo’s £5.99 classics.
    SAVE: £4.99
  4. SHOE THING: Crocs are practical shoes for little ones. But with prices starting at £19.99, they’re pretty pricey for growing feet. Luckily, Matalan is selling near-identical versions for £4. Croc a load of that.
    SAVE: £15.99
  5. BOTTLE IT UP: Whether you’re on a long car journey or playing in the sun, keeping kids hydrated is so important. Poundland has a two-pack of foldable water bottles for a quid. They are perfect for shoving into a day bag and are far less expensive than other options, with many costing around £12.
