Contains small parts and items not suitable for children under 3. Adult supervision recommended. Lollipops are a choking hazard for under-3s.

Ready the moment it arrives

Every bag is packed before it leaves us, so there's nothing to put together and nothing to buy separately. Open the box and your child can hold their travel kit straight away. It's one less thing to sort the night before a flight.

Our 4-language Sunflower lanyard card

The card in every bag says it in English, German, French and Spanish, so staff can read it in four languages. Wear it on the lanyard round the neck, or clip it straight onto a bag, backpack or buggy. The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower is recognised worldwide, not just in the UK. About the Sunflower scheme.

Started by a family who gets it

Gentle Journeys was started by Jenna and Debs. Jenna is an autism mum, so everything in the bags comes from real, lived experience of travelling with an autistic child.
