Q. May! pass on a tip to readers who are

parents of babies or toddlers? My life has been transformed since! started putting my blowup travel pillow, of the sort available at any airport for about £5, around my 16-month-old's shoulders when she is strapped into her car seat for long journeys. It simply makes all the difference, and she is asleep in no time.

A.G., London A. Thank you for your useful tip.
