The Birdcage
Mid-range Middlesbrough restaurant with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access and outdoor seating; lively, and worth booking.

Pub · Middlesbrough
Handy if you've got a mixed-age group to feed — there's a kids' menu and high chairs for the youngest, so a toddler is catered for alongside older children who'd rather sit outside. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, which is usually good news when your two-year-old is having a moment. Step-free access in means you're not lifting a buggy over a threshold, and gluten-free options are there if someone in the family needs them. Prices sit at the cheaper end, too.

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.
