Travelling with children on holiday can be a daunting task if you do not make the right preparations.
\nHere are 20 tips that will make your journey a lot more enjoyable.<\/p>\n

\"kids\"<\/a>
\n1. Keep aside some extra time<\/strong>
\nYou need to always set aside some extra time because children love to explore. Always take into consideration factors like gawping, toilet stops, stalling, and tantrums.
\n2. Book ahead<\/strong>
\nBook hotels rooms ahead. In case you didn\u2019t find a room you will have to keep on travelling. And with children melting down it won\u2019t be easy.
\n3. Give them a camera<\/strong>
\nYou can buy a child-friendly camera. This will keep them occupied and encourage them to observe their surroundings.
\n4. Be prepared for the climate<\/strong>
\nChildren will be happier in a new environment if they are dressed comfortably for the terrain and weather.
\n5. For potty training pack pull-ups<\/strong>
\nDuring the potty training days public transport and planes can be nightmarish. You will have to carry potty on top of all your hand luggage, extra clothes and stinky, wet pants. Put them back into pull-ups on the plane.
\n6. Be app-y<\/strong>
\nThere\u2019s no need to cram a toy box, thanks to toddler-friendly apps. You can pack a magic scribbler and book, too.
\n7. Use public transport<\/strong>
\nUse public transport wherever possible as most toddlers love the novelty of travelling by bus, train and boat.
\n8. Invest in a child locator<\/strong>
\nA child locator (which the child can wear on a shoe or belt) will help you keep tabs on children at crowded places. You can keep the transmitter. You can set off the alarm if you lose your child and follow the sound to find them.
\n9. Keep bugs at bay<\/strong>
\nA hand sanitizer is a handbag essential. When you\u2019re unsure of hygiene you can wipe your hands and even the cutlery in restaurants.
\n10. Don\u2019t forget the medicine<\/strong>
\nKids always fall ill during holidays. So pack Calpol as well as Allegra, which is good for allergic cold and sneezing. Also, carry band-aids and a thermometer.
\n11. Don\u2019t let the children pack their own rucksacks<\/strong>
\nMost kids insist on packing their own rucksacks but always monitor what they are packing. Sometimes they will stuff all their unwanted books and soft toys and it might become too heavy for them.
\n12. Keep the activities coming<\/strong>
\nHave a collection of toys to be handed out once an hour if you\u2019re heading out on a long journey. Tiny colouring books, handheld puzzles, stickers, etc will pass the time on a car journey or long flight.
\n13. Have a number of family games ready<\/strong>
\nThey will come in handy if there are any delays in flights
\n14. Avoid sweets<\/strong>
\nInstead of sweets pack savoury snacks like cheeselinks, muffins, etc to avoid a sugar rush.
\n15. Encourage them to keep a travel journal<\/strong>
\nAsk your kids to note down interesting things they saw or food they had. This will keep them engaged. You can also buy postcards and ask children to write messages on them. Once the journey is over it would be great to read those messages
\n16. Remember the medicine<\/strong>
\nA small first aid kit is essential, especially if you are travelling with kids.
\n17. Brand them<\/strong>
\nWrite your mobile number on your child\u2019s arm while travelling through busy, crowded places, in case they get lost.
\n18. Check your passports<\/strong>
\nChildren\u2019s passports only last five years so check your passports at least a month in advance.
\n19. Remember the baby wipes<\/strong>
\nDon\u2019t forget the baby wipes even if all your children are long out of nappies. They\u2019re useful not only for washing hands, but also for wiping down restaurant tables and even cleaning toilet seats.
\n20. Engage and involve older children<\/strong>
\nAsk your children\u2019s input while planning a holiday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
