Thai · Brighton
A small Thai restaurant in Brighton where the practical bits are already sorted: there's a kids' menu, high chairs on hand, and step-free access so you can get a buggy through the door without a fuss. Vegan and gluten-free dishes mean a table with different needs at it doesn't turn into a negotiation. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, which usually works in your favour when a toddler is having opinions. Booking ahead is recommended, and at ££ it's an easy midweek dinner.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.

Roomy Italian where staff quietly fix wobbles, with high chairs, prams welcome, standout carbonara and tiramisu — pizzas are just okay.
Lively Brighton burger spot with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access and outdoor seating — booking recommended.
