Traveling With Kids: Tips And Tricks

Scott · March 27, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Just because you’re now a parent instead of a carefree, single traveler, doesn’t mean that you have to put your travel plans on hold. If you’re interested in traveling with your kids in tow, continue reading to discover a few handy tips which will help ensure that traveling with kids is a pleasure, rather than a battle.

Traveling with kids: 5 Tips and tricks

1. Let each of your kids pick out their very own backpack

If you let each of your kids pick out a backpack which they love, they’ll be more than happy to carry their own backpack through airports, bus stations, and train stations. Which will make it far easier for your family to navigate various terminals. If your children are aged 7 or older, they should also be able to wheel their own suitcase.

2. Download child-friendly games on your smartphone or iPad

In order to keep your kids entertained when you’re waiting for a delayed flight or to keep your kids entertained on lengthy coach journeys, it’s well worth giving your children a smartphone which boasts a wide variety of child-friendly games.

3. Make sure to pack a few of your children’s favorite packaged, sealed snacks in your suitcase

If you plan on visiting exotic destinations where your child’s favorite foods may not be readily available, it’s well worth packing some of your kids’ favorite foods. As while you may be excited about having the opportunity to introduce your children to a variety of new foods, there may be times when young children may refuse to eat foods which they don’t recognize. In these circumstances having a few of your kids’ favorite packaged foods, may be a lifesaver as hungry kids and travel don’t mix.

4. Get your kids involved in planning your family vacations

One way to ensure that your kids feel included in organizing your travel plans is to allow each child to have some influence on each family trip. As an example, you may want to allow each child to pick one attraction which you’ll visit as a family.

As an example, if you visit Alaska, one of your kids may choose dog sledding as a family activity, while if you visit Fiji, one of your kids may choose stand up paddle boarding as a fun-filled activity. Depending on the length of your vacation, you may want to let each child choose more than one bucket list activity or destination.

5. Make sure to choose kid-friendly activities, which you can enjoy as a family

While you may be tempted to spend your vacation days exploring art galleries and museums, make sure to limit the amount of time which you spend pursuing attractions and activities which are likely to bore your kids.

As an example, if you visit Paris, make sure to visit Parc Asterix, a French-themed amusement park, instead of spending all of your time visiting museums. If you follow this wise advice, your kids will be far more likely not to complain or act up whilst you’re traveling overseas.

So if plan on traveling with your kids in tow, it’s well worth following the 5 family travel tips listed above, in order to ensure that traveling as a family is fun instead of a battle.
