Children’s apps developer Sago Sago has seen its apps downloaded more than five million times since launching 18 months ago. A milestone worth celebrating, because those apps are invariably rather marvellous.

The big number comes alongside the release of a new app too: Sago Mini Road Trip. It features the now-familiar (if you’ve contributed to those millions of downloads) Jinja the cat character, as well as some of his other animal friends.

As the name makes clear, this is about driving. “Pick a destination, select a vehicle and hit the road. What will Jinja drive today? Choose a sporty racing car, a jumpy jeep or a funny pickle car! Stop along the way to wash and fuel up. When the drive is done, a happy welcome is waiting for you,” explains its App Store listing.

There are 12 vehicles to choose from, and six destinations to visit. Like past Sago Sago apps, this is aimed at pre-schoolers – 2-5 year-olds – so there’s no stressful time limits or rules to hem them in. And as the company shrewdly points out to parents, this might be “perfect to bring along on your own road trips”.

Sago Mini Road Trip costs £1.99 for iPhone and iPad from Apple’s App Store.
