Traveling With Kids- A Guide To Stress-Free Adventures

10.08.2020 by Icar // Leave a Comment

Many parents want to be able to enjoy vacations with their kids, but sometimes, the stress of traveling can make the idea of jetting off or packing the car for a camping trip less appealing. If you’ve had a negative experience in the past, or you’re looking for tips for your first family trip, here are some suggestions for stress-free adventures.

Plan ahead

Planning is your best friend when you have kids and you want to get away and explore. It can be fun to be spontaneous, but if you have children, it’s always beneficial to cross off tasks like finding flights and accommodation and booking transfers and excursions beforehand. Designing a rough itinerary will help with packing and ensure you don’t miss anything or waste time on your trip. Decide on a location based on how far you want to travel and how you want to spend your time. Once you’ve got a destination in mind, you can explore accommodation options and figure out how you’re going to get there. Set a budget, compare prices and offers online and read reviews. If you’re hoping to travel around a country or see sights in different parts of a city, take a look at transport options and work out how you’re going to get from A to B. 

Pack light

Most of us are guilty of taking all kinds of things we don’t actually need when packing for a vacation. If you’re going away, the first thing to do is create a list. Use your itinerary to decide what kinds of outfits you need, roll clothes to save room in your suitcases and look for portable bags that are easy to transport. A minimalist diaper bag is ideal for taking on the plane or in the car with you, and it’s also a great idea to look for luggage with wheels. Packing light will make it easier to get around and it will also eliminate the risk of pricey excess baggage charges. 

Entertainment

If you’re setting off on a road trip, or you’ve got a long flight ahead, keeping your kids entertained is probably one of your most pressing concerns. Look for tips and ideas from other parents online and think about how your children like to pass their time. With modern technology and gadgets, kids can watch movies, play games, read e-books and do puzzles. It’s also important to remember to stock up on snacks and drinks. 

Researching facilities and amenities

Traveling with children is usually not as straightforward as going away with a partner or adult friends or family members. If you’re looking to enjoy a hassle-free break, it’s beneficial to research facilities and amenities before you book. If you want to chill out on the beach and sit around the pool, for example, look for a hotel or an apartment to rent, which is near a safe beach and has a children’s pool. You may also want to look for resorts that have kids’ clubs, shops for buying essentials and entertainment programs. If you’re camping, you might want to book a site that has child-friendly changing facilities or choose a spot that is close to an activity center, a town or a beach.
