May 11th: What the experts say about Yondi...
Who better to comment on children’s posture than the British Chiropractic Association? Dr Stephen Hughes a senior practitioner from the BCA comments: “The spines of babies and young children are relatively immature and unsupported and so they should always sleep lying flat. Problems can occur on long journeys when movement of the vehicle will often lull them to sleep in uncomfortable slumped postures, often with their head and neck completely unsupported. Additional neck support, such as the Yondi from Trunki can be very helpful to cradle the sleeping child in a more neutral position."
April 24th: Our 3rd Birthday!
We're fast approaching our 3rd birthday. To celebrate we'll be in Bristol's Millennium Square all day on May 4th. We'll be handing out goodie bags, breaking records and they'll even be a balloon release with a family holiday to be won! Make sure you don't miss out...
