]]>The first step in planning almost any trip is choosing a destination, so if you haven’t already decided on where you want to go, explore potential options alongside your children. Let them express their preferences, and consider a variety of environments such as beach retreats, historical cities, or camping in the wilderness. Depending on their age, you can even encourage them to do their own research to foster a sense of ownership and excitement.
Once you’ve agreed on a destination, you can start putting together a list of things you’d like to do. Ask your child about their preferred activities, or make suggestions based on what you think they might like. To keep things balanced and enjoyable for all, try to include a range of activities and allow each family member to choose one.
Let’s be real; packing is boring, but add a little music and some tasty snacks, and you’ve got yourself a packing party. Together, make a list of everything you’ll need, allotting space for your kids to bring their favorite toys and comfort items. You can even make packing feel like a game by creating small challenges such as “whoever rolls all of their clothes fastest wins!”

]]>Let them choose activities or identify sights they’d like to see, fostering their excitement and engagement from the get-go. Selecting kid-friendly destinations, with a balance of leisure time and structured activities, ensures a less stressful journey for everyone.
Along with essentials, a favorite toy or book can be a comforting piece of home, helping mitigate any travel anxiety. Don’t forget snacks, wipes, and extra clothes for those unforeseen hiccups!
While en route, patience is key. Long flights or drives can be taxing, so break up the monotony with games, stories, or educational apps about the destination. Regular stops for bathroom breaks and stretching legs are vital during road trips.
Accept in advance that not everything will go according to plan when globetrotting with tots, but unexpected moments often turn into the most fun, hilarious memories. Embrace the journey through your child’s eyes and you’ll be surprised at the joy and wonder that fills your travels.

]]>Infants, from newborns to age 2 are the easiest to travel with, in many respects. You can keep kids in this age group happy pretty much anywhere as long as you create a comfortable environment for them and keep their routine. Try to stay as close as possible to the child’s regular eating and sleeping schedule by planning your vacation accordingly.
Toddlers engage with the different sights around them, which makes traveling with them lots of fun. When building your itinerary, make sure to leave plenty of downtime to let them rest and refuel their energy in the playground or the hotel’s pool. The more open space your toddler has to run around the happier they will be.
For school-age kids, it can be a good idea to let them pack their own travel bag for the plane. By age 7 or 8 they already know exactly what will keep them entertained, and it gives them a sense of responsibility and being a part of the getting ready process.

]]>If you’re traveling with a noisy child or an infant, hand out earplugs and/or snacks to those sitting near you. This can be a great way to endear yourself to your seat neighbors, and let them know that you apologize for the inconvenience that they might be going through.
We’re talking about the mini-sized board games that are designed specifically for the purpose of using them on a plane. You could allow your kids to play digital games on a smartphone, but let’s be real: the former option is a lot healthier for their brains.
But if brain health and soul nourishment has all but gone out the window, you could always urge your children to watch an in-flight movie. Thankfully, most airlines offer children-friendly shows that are appropriate for the whole family.

]]>The license plate game is a great activity for kids that are around 8 years old and up. When driving, challenge your kids to find a set number of license plates from different states or territories and play along with them. The first to reach the established number wins!
While you might not want your child to be connected to a tablet the entire time you’re in the car, let’s be real: it’s great for them to be able to watch a movie or a few episodes of their favorite TV show while in the car. In addition, there are tons of educational games that they can play too.
I-Spy is a classic game that you can play if you have more than one child with you in the car. You can “spy” things that are outside the car or inside the car and create a competitive, fun game that your kids will love.

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

]]>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 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.
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!
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

]]>Plan every single thing you can and leave nothing to chance. Whenever you can, plan alternatives in case your first plan doesn’t work.
Get ready for some death stares as you step into the plane with your kids. That’s why you should do everything to prevent them from crying, like making sure they got enough sleep and organizing some quiet entertainment for the flight.
This is where you need to be smart and decide what you will actually need and what you’re packing “just in case”. Practical bags with wheels can help – your older kids can carry them if needed.
