Are you planning to travel with kids under 5? Keep these three crucial rules in mind to guarantee a good time for all.

Move at a Slow Pace

Young children aren’t built to have the stamina and patience that adults do. Don’t expect to go quickly while traveling with kids under 5, as all you’ll do is exhaust them, which will put both the kids and those who are minding them in a terrible, stressed-out mood!

Always Have Food and Drink at the Ready

It can be hard to predict when hunger or thirst might strike for kids, so it’s best to always carry food and drinks with you in case that urge hits. A hungry or a thirsty child is a recipe for disaster, so you’ll save yourself time, money, and hassle if you’re prepared in case one of these urges strikes.

Keep Your Kids’ Likes in Mind

While you might plan a vacation primarily for the interests of the adult(s) in the group, there’s no denying that kids need their time in the limelight also. Instead of only packing in adult-centric stops and attractions, try to do things that your young children will enjoy too. They’ll really appreciate it, and their happiness will make the overall experience better for you too.

However, there is no need to fear! With just a little bit of planning, patience, and understanding, you can have a great time when traveling with your teens. Here are some strategies to follow.

Be Patient

Patience is a virtue, and this is especially true when being the parent of a teenager. If your teen complains or doesn’t feel like doing something that you want to do or that you had proposed, don’t freak out. Be patient, and realize that they’ll probably come around to it sooner or later.

Mix in Some Fun

Everyone just wants to have a little fun, but your definition of fun and your teenager’s definition of fun might be a little different. So, do your best to propose fun activities for your teenagers, even if they might not fit into your personal ideal plans.

Be Willing to Compromise

The ability to compromise is a necessary skill in life, and it really leads to keeping everyone content and happy. A little give and take is important in any family relationship and can be key in keeping everyone on board during a trip, especially with teens.

If you are looking to travel with your children and make things go a little more smoothly, here are some ideas for places to visit.

Children’s Museums

Children’s museums abound in large cities and your kids will love the experience of having a hands-on experience where they can explore and discover different things for their sights and senses.

Zoos and Aquariums

Who doesn’t love a good zoo or aquarium? Kids certainly do, and they will thank you for taking them to see animals break up the grind of a vacation full of doing more “adult-friendly” things. And it’s not like adults don’t love the experience, either!

Libraries and Toy Stores

Children will appreciate going to a library or a toy store where they can pick out something special to remember from their trip. Whether it’s the Livraria Lello in Porto, Portugal or Hamleys in London, they are sure to love spending an hour or two in a place where they can

Include Them

The best way to get a child excited about a vacation is to make them a part of the conversation. For example, you can do some research about activities to do and then give them an option of 2 or 3 to choose from. This is giving them indepedence and autonomy while still figuring into your grander plan.

Breaks

No kid can walk around all day in a city without getting a break. A good place to take a break would be to find a park in the city and go chill out there for even 30 minutes to give them, and you, a break. You could also just go to a cafe or ice cream shop and hang out there and read a book while they relax or color.

Food

Depending on where you go, the kids might hate or love the cuisine. If they are on the pickier side, make them a deal that they have to try one new thing every day, but they can choose what the new item is.
