Here is my post from a few years back it was part of a discussion on best wheeled kit to transport kids about at Glastonbury .......   My days of having a child in tow at Glastonbury are over but ours went from 9 months old to adult. Over those years we had a quite a succession of transport/resting wheeled kit. Some were better than others.   The baby carrier was excellent, then came the Maclaren buggy, great when it wad dry not good in the mud, one or more wheels came off, then we bought a second hand three wheeler buggy more robust than the Maclaren but not as substantial as dondo's bike sidecar above. The three wheeler did ok but at one point the pin attaching the front wheel broke.... top tip .... I replaced it with a tent peg and whacked the unbent end at an angle to secure. Lastly and most disastrously as said child got older we got a fold up wheelbarrow thing. That was a very poor experience and I wouldnt recommend it.   Nowadays you see a lot of parents with those little wagons that remind me of little house on the prairie, they seem very popular but I have no idea where you buy them.   The biggest recommendation I have is not on transport but to definitely spend time in the Kidz field. It's quite a revelation, it's very chilled, the children's entertainment is of very high quality and totally fab from the all day children's caberet tent to the brilliant helta skelta to the excellent craft marquee ( face painting included) and the circus skills marquee, and so much more. All ages of kids are catered for...........and it's a marvellous way to get over the hangover from the night before.    I'm getting all nostalgic about the kidz field now 🥰   One other recommendation is at the back of the greenpeace field there is another kids bit and further back again is the ancient oak tree, a nice shady spot to rest and there used to be a children's book tent there hopefully it will still be there this year. Worth a visit with children.   It's a totally different festival with kids in tow some things you might miss but others are an unexpected bonus that you will love, I hope you have as brilliant a time as we did.    

Nice warm up gig.

Would love another Shepherds Bush or Apollo gig in there somewhere 😉

What is it about the labour party in Sheffield which has them having crims as their candidates?

Meant to add Tears for Fears as well
