Tips travelling with kids on public transport

1) Bring extra clothes for your kids and you
Incident such as your children spilled drinks on their shirt, they pee in their pants, they felt down, they smacked their shirts with ice cream can really happened. Sometimes the just want to change their clothes due to them sweating so much. The extra clothes also needed especially if come pass through an open wet playground like the one they are having here in Singapore. Extra diapers are also things not to forget. Towel, wet tissue, napkin towel, handy fan also supposed to be on the list. They are surely something that will be used if your were to travel with kids.

2) Wear a sling beg (to put all the money, purse, metro card, tissue) and a backpack (to keep the clothes)
Sling beg come handy when its come to handle the public transportation fare. You dont want to be juggling with a huge handbag, a stroller and any bought items when you need to take off the train, buses or cab. Sling beg is easier to handle, compact and safer (from being steal) in case you are too busy with your kids. You also shall put some toys in your sling beg in case your kids got boring and needs your attention. Like me I also have a wristlet clutch beg where I put all cards (metro cards, house cards, pacifier, some tissue, some money, lip palm, lotion/uv proctector).

Please dont forget your kids accesories (pacifier, mill bottle)


3) Search for a handicapped sign on public transport
It doesnt mean that you need to be handicapped to use the facilities. It means that for those who in need. Mother with kids and stroller really needs a bigger space to park especially in train and buses. The sign means that there are bigger space provided with no seats available. So that, you can park the stroller in peace withour worrying disturbing other passengers.

4) Make sure your kids get to sleep
This is really important if you are out for the rest of the day. Restless kids means a higher chance for the kids to be cranky. We dont want it to be happen especially if you are travelling  for holiday. It will spoilt everybod's mood. Make sure the kids are comfortable and full. It would be good if you could spent sometimes indoor rather than outdoor to ensure that the kids get a quality sleep. The 30 minutes they spent napping will safe you for the rest of the day. They are just like handphone. The need to be recharge!

Comfortable stroller will get your kids to sleep

5) Study your itinery/route before starting the journey
If you are going to a new place, make sure you are well verse with the plan. Meaning to say that, you have some ideas on what bus number you are taking, which train line your are heading to and the most important is which exit you supposed to choose. Choose a wrong exit might cause you trouble because we dont want to get lost with kids in our hands. Print/print screen the route. It woud be faster than checking it on net. You might not be able to do the internet surfing due to the poor connection or you are at place where the is no connection such as underground or outside of the city.

6) Bring snacks
Kids always hungry and they need to refilll frequently. If your kid is still on bottle, please dont forget the milk bottle. If would be a huge trouble especially when they want to sleep. Bring biscuts or bread where they can handle it themselves.Chocolate is a big NO NO since it can make your kids T shirt dirty. Ice Cream is a life saver. Choose the cup rather than the stick ice cream to avoid the incident as stated in number 1 above.

Snack can help your kids to get busy

7) Appropriate clothes to wear
Choose cotton, easy to handle clothes. Lots of button shirt shall be avoided since you need to clean up your kids at public toilet if necessary. There is limited space in public toilet. You need to be fast and efficient in handling kids when you are in public.

Tinyworld twin stroller review

I have been using the stroller for about 3 weeks in Singapore. Having no car here,  we commute using buses and subways. Since i have 2 kids age 4 and 1 year old, double stroller really come handy. I really need stroller that is small, light and easy to handle since i have to travel alone when my husband is working. And the good thing, tinyworld meets those characteristics.

At first my choice is black colour since in my opinion it would be easier to manage and not easily worn out, however since there is no stock, then purple is my second choice. Furthemore, black can attract mosquitos as per seller advice. 

What i can say about the stroller is it is manageable and my kids are comfortable in it. Both of them can fall asleep and have a good rest if we went out for the whole day. Only the backseat can lean half in order for the kids to lay back. So my kids takes turn to seat at the back and have their nap. The one in ftont needs to sacrify since it is not fully covered and it can be quite hot being exposed to the sun. I really recommend parents to have 2 handy portable fans to keep the kids comfortable and less cranky. 

The stroller fits nicely the entrance of subway, supermarket and buses. It can even go through public places such as park, library and fast food restaurant where normally the spaces are small and crowded. I am happy and satisfied to have it. It just that i think it would need a regular maintenance and services since my 4 years old son is quite heavy and put much preasure on the tyres😅

I bought mine from Mr Terence from Tinyworld. He owns a shop in Melawati and normally kept stock for the double stroller. If you are far away from the shop, no worries he can sent and demo the stroller for you if you stay in Klang Valley. This is his number 012-569 5999. Hope it can help those who are searching for this type of stroller. The stroller is very useful to those who needs to travel on plane or train since it is easily foldable and lighter as compared to others double stroller. 

My eldest felt asleep and get a good rest

The sister felt asleep despite the hot weather in Singapore. The stroller can manage backpacks and others stuff as well

Both having snacks on the go

Strolling in the evening became easier and less fuss

Other thing good about this stroller is the underneth part is wide enough to keep your groceries and kids bag. The things are firmly stay there eventhough we travel in and out of buses.

Interesting facts about Singapore

1) Dogs are everywhere. Back at home, we can see more cats than dogs around the public area. Here, in Singapore, dogs are consider not only as pets, but as part of the family and friends. Most of the dogs will be taken for a walk in the evening by the owner, some even have a speacial pram to carry them around.

2) Maids living together with the family is a norm. Many of them are from Philiphine, Indonesia and Mynmar. They normally will taken care of the family house chores.Some even will follow their master to hometown in Malaysia or going together on a holiday.

3) Main language in Singapore is English. Everybody needs to be able to speak and understand in English in order to survive since all signboards and everyday activites will be conducted mainly in English. While eldest Malays still can speak Malay, but there are few differences with the Malaysian Malay words such as bikin (buat/do) and bilang (cakap/inform).

4) Halal chinese foods can be found easily as compared to Malaysia. Chinese foods means foods that are less salty,less oily, more garlic = more healty. Drink will be soy based, jelly and longan.

5) Walking is a common things. Pedestrian are everywhere. There are many people with stroller, motorbikes or bicycle.

6) Quality of foods and fruits here are better. I try not to be suspicious but it is admitted by my husband where the Durian standard in Singapore is very good. When i went for a wedding ceremony, I am suprised to see they served a big prawn to their guest.
