Full disclosure - I have ADHD full blown made 100 times worse by peri-menopause.

I am shamelessly posting for traffic.

We are taking our young kids ages 2 and 6 away on 2 trips this summer. One by plane and one by eurotunnel.

For both trips we need a small (but doesn't need to fit in the cabin- just nice and small to save space) buggy.

We need kids headphones/earphones wireless.

We need a tablet for the 2 year old - basic as possible

and we need power banks for our phones and tablets whilst we're away.

I have over researched, been frozen with inability to make a decision, read articles, searched marketplace/ebay etc and all sorts. I cannot make a decision and I'm starting to feel overwhelmed. My husband is no help with this sort of thing, more indecisive than me.

Please help.

Pick one of each in your price range. All of those things- if they have good reviews- will be much the same. It is overwhelming when there is so much choice. But know if its rated well for all of those things you won't notice the difference once you're using them
If it helps:
We have a Maclaren buggy
We have the cheapest 5* rated headphones from amazon
Same for power bank.

All work fine for holidays. And when you're out there you will be happy with what you have.

I don't know about tablets sorry

For a basic tablet for our son we bought a Nokia T21. They're about £170 (or a quick Google finds an ex-display one at eBuyer for £110), and got a screen protector and foam rubber case for it from Amazon. He's happy with it

Thanks, I don't know why I find these things so hard. It's getting worse too, I can stand in the kitchen for ages before I decide what to cook for example 😭

I think I worry if I buy a buggy, will it actually be small enough/light enough/comfy enough and worth the money (I'll need to go and see some in person I think) if I buy a power bank will it be a bit dodgy and overheat/set on fire. If I buy a basic Tablet will it not work properly/same with the headphones. Will my kids say the headphones are uncomfortable. Just ridiculous things that pop into my head and I can't then just bloody choose something.
