Pelirojo
Online toy shop with toys for all ages.

Comments:
'I am thrilled to bits with all the stocking fillers I bought at Pelirojo, one less thing to worry about in the run up to Christmas. And I cannot tell you how happy my Goddaughter and her brother were with the Wooden balance bike and the Plasma car, they are racing around on them. It was great to find such solidly built, good quality toys, that can actually be handed on when grown out of and not just chucked in the rubbish like so many other kid's things these days" (JH)Recommended by Jessica Haydon

"Àlex and Júlia have the Club Super3 card because they can do about 500 free activities. They can visit for free museums, do nature and sport activities, go to the theatre, cinema (Filmoteca de la Generalitat), circus, music festivals,.... When your kids become member of the Club, you recive a little guide to free activities they can do.
As a member of the Club Super3, kids can play games online, find more information about their favorite characters of tv3 cartoons, download music and games from super3 website. Kids can become a member of the Club, sending by post a special postcard, that you will find in the bank "La Caixa. In my experience, we only receive from Club Super3 a birthday car on my kids' birthday and we don't have any other advertising post" (CJ)"Recommended by Carme Jofre

Travel Kiddy
Innovative travel games which will hopefully keep the kids occupied for hours. It is a US site but there is FREE SHIPPING on orders over 100 dollars.
www.travelkiddy.com
Comments:
"It comes ready to go in a green durable canvas bag that can zipper close (so important to containment!) and has a carrying handle. Inside, you’ll find all sorts of goodies to keep kids aged 3-6 (there’s a separate one for older children) entertained. Let me tell you, it is LOADED with activities. Some of these include an age-appropriate coloring book, doodle pad with stickers, maze book, crayons, pencil, crafts for the making, small toys, as well as travel-sized tissues, sanitizing wipes and band-aids. There is also a separate plastic bag enclosed containing activities and toys to keep in reserve for the return trip (or another occasion). Which, when you think about, is totally key. Turns out we’ve not only used (and benefitted) from it during our sanity-testing road trip a month ago, but scores of times since – grabbing it any time we anticipate needing a little Elise-distraction time, even while at home. And there’s still TONS left for her to do"

www.kiddieskitchen.co.ukComments
"I have just ordered two of their hampers - find them useful for breakfast and dinners for stage one and two. They were £45 & £50 plus postage at £15 so a total of £110. For this i got a mixture of Dinners (i.e ) fish pie, beef casserole, chicken casserole Vegetables and fruit mixed and fruit on its own (i find this one good for breakfast to mix in with papilla) in total i received 131 packets of food of all sorts which i worked out to cost 83pence per packet rather than the £1.70 you would pay for an individual packet. Basically in short the hampers are the cheapest way to buy. Obviously one would have to choose what is best for them but i think it is great value for money." (MS)Recommended by Michelle Stott

I found it invaluable, particularly in the restaurants if they didn't have a high chair or if they did they would seldom have restraint straps, so this worked v well... It folds down to nothing! So you can easily slip into your bag!" (HS)Recommended by Helen Scott
