How to Travel Safely and Happily With Kids
I like traveling with my 4-year-old daughter as much as I hate it.
My daughter is going crazy during flights.
She wants the window open, she wants to get there quickly, and when she doesn't get what she wants, she throws a tantrum.
Other concerns I have is my child's safety.
How I wished I brought the things which can keep her safe but I failed to do so.
Worse, I and my family panicked when we forgot to bring jackets because we thought the weather would be fine.
Ever wished you could have smooth and easy travel with your kids? Good thing I followed these tips and now my kid is as behaved as an angel.
Here are some things you need to do so you can travel safely and happily with kids.
Book ahead Whether you are staying at an inn, camping outdoors, or staying in hotels it pays if you book ahead.
Try to book as early as you can so you won't run out of accommodations.
The worst that could happen if you don't book ahead is when the hotel or inn is fully booked you have to hit the road again with your tired and hungry child with you.
Use public transport Most children love to see trains, boats, or busses.
So don't use your car and use public transport instead.
Have hand sanitizer handy It is always best if you have antibacterial wipes and hand sanitizer with you at all times.
You won't be certain whether the restaurant you will go to has washing facilities or not or if the place is hygienic.
Don't forget the medicine Don't always expect that kids will be in as fit condition as you are.
Have an easy-to-swallow pain reliever ready.
Don't forget to bring your portable first aid kit that should include antiseptic wipes, bee sting treatment, plasters, and a thermometer.
Be prepared for the climate If your child is dressed comfortably for the weather and terrain, they will be happier in that environment.
It is also less likely they will catch colds and other diseases if they are dressed properly for that environment.
You, on the other hand, will be free of worries and will have a happier trip.
Download child-friendly apps Thanks to child-friendly apps, there's no need to bring your child's entire toy box with you.
All you need is your smart phone or tablet, then load it up with all the child-friendly apps you can find and you'll have the most compact form of entertainment.
Invest in a child locator Toddlers don't like to be put on a leash hand it kind of looks weird, too.
It is an infringement of their freedom.
To let them be free while keeping them safe, invest in a child locator.
These are small devices that can be strapped into their belt or their shoe with a transmitter.
Then when your kid is a few meters apart from you, the transmitter will set off an alarm.
All you need to do is follow the sound to find your child.
