    Traveling with children

    There are a couple of things you should do before you decide to take a trip with your children.

    Create anticipation for the family trip by starting a countdown calendar with perhaps a photo or illustration of the destination. Let kids pack their own bags. Decide what type of clothing (preferably loose and comfortable), but allow them to choose their favorites and to pack a special toy. In a carry-on bag, pack some hard candies and gum, hand wipes, tissues, books, paper, markers in a small, tightly sealed plastic bag and perhaps a surprise toy for each child.

    Update immunizations for the entire family. If traveling abroad, check with public health authorities for advisable additional vaccines. Depending on the destination and duration of stay, the following immunizations may be recommended (although some cannot be given to infants and young children):

        I didn't travel with my children until they were of age to actually go without me having to tend after them. I just wasn't for that. I wanted to always have fun and be able to enjoy myself without haveing to chase my kids everywhere.

          Those are some great tips for traveling with children.

          I don't have children yet, but I would love to take mine out when they are young to show them all the different cultures and traditions of the world. I hate the children don't learn much about tolerance in the U.S. It would be nice to subject them to new things when they are younger, I think.

            I guess it all depends on what type of children you have. Soe don't have the tip that are easily taken on trips. I think that some people have to re evalute what it is that they are trying to do when it is vacation time.

              Wow! It is great advise for me. I have one daughter, she is just one month old. However, I love to travell and I am sure I will be travelling too much in next two year. Sometime, I can not leave her with my helper. So I am glad to get these ideas!

                I think a one year old is a bit young to take traveling because their needs are so extensive but at the same time. I think that too start them as young as you can is a great idea.

                  I think it very well depends on the person you are and how well you can handle having children with you.

                        Travelling is one of my hobby. Thanks to all for sharing this such nice information about travelling with children. I think when we travel with children than we take care of child, take all needed things, eat proper food, drink clean water, take care of your health and so on.

                          I have seen many people avoid the traveling with children just because stress of their care and many other. But i think there are also some advantages available to traveling with children like they can make our traveling trip more enjoyable and more happiest. I suggest to all parents if they are able to go for traveling with their children then they should sure.

                            I think that young people take a bit due to their extensive travel too but at the same time one year of age. I think very little of them start as you can is a great idea.

                              Do you think they need to wait until they’re much older for them to enjoy for things such as traveling? Absolutely not, it’s one of the most controversial areas of travel. We all value our children very much, and travel is a big unknown. There are a lot of things that can go wrong, and then when you add in the idea of winter travel, people get very nervous. However, we’re not fans of believing that disaster is lurking in every corner. With smart planning, you can really minimize the risk that your children would face if they traveled with you.
