The Summer Vacation and it is time to enjoy with the little ones a few days of deserved rest. Travel with babies and children It is a very nice experience for the whole family, but it is important to take into account some tips to avoid unforeseen inconveniences and that you all enjoy in a big way.
Depending on the destination and the type of trip you have chosen for this vacation, there are some Practical advice to consider when traveling with babies and children in summer.
First of all, practicality
One of the keys to traveling with young children is an experience that the whole family can enjoy is be practical. Take only the essentials and leave everything else at home. Find out if you are going to be accommodated with baby items such as cot, bathtub or high chair to avoid carrying more junk.
Fundamental, travel with a cool, light and foldable chair that allows you to walk with the baby in comfort and that has a good hood and reclining backrest to sleep good naps. It also has a cool baby carrier for those walks that you cannot (or do not want) to do with a stroller.
Plan and organize
With children we cannot go on an adventure. Whatever vacation plan you have in mind, avoid unforeseen events. Whether you take a motorhome route, you plan to stay in a hotel or an apartment, have everything booked before.
Even if you are going to make excursions, you are going to go to museums or theme parks, it is preferable to go ahead and avoid queues in full sunbeam.
Plan the journey by car and if you travel by plane or train, go with plenty of time to board in peace. Do not forget to bring the baby's documents, passport, ID and health card.
Search for "baby-friendly" sites
The idea is that everyone enjoy and have fun. Choose hotels designed for families where your children can feel at ease, have fun and share games with other children.
Also, look for activities you can do with children in the destination you have chosen. In most family destinations there are very entertaining offers so that the little ones can also enjoy their vacation days. Find out if the hotel has a club for children or activities for children, which can make a difference.
Travel safely
If you travel by car, the child must go in an approved restraint system suitable for his age and properly anchored. Remember that children should travel backwards as long as possible (and at least up to four years of age). Do not forget to stop every two to three hours so you can stretch your legs and get fresh air.
If you travel by plane or train, be cautious with the size and weight of the suitcase, since if you also carry a stroller, it can be a nuisance to move around. Also have in a bag everything your baby may need during the journey. If you are going to rent a car, make sure you have a retention system in good condition and suitable for your baby's height, so that he is safe and comfortable at all times.
Take a toy, book or your favorite music to entertain your baby during the trip, as well as water, something to snack on and a change in case you had to change it.
The welfare of your baby, first
Try to find a vacation plan that suits your style, but considering that you travel with a baby or a small child who has their schedules, their sleep routines, food ...
Though you can be more flexible than usual These days, the first thing is always the welfare of the little one. Adventure tourism or exotic destinations, better leave them for when they are somewhat older.
Anyway, if you choose it that way, make sure you have everything very controlled from the point of view of safety and health for your little one.
And of course, don't forget to protect the baby from the sun at all times. Always carry sunscreen, a hat and, if possible, sunglasses.
Happy Holidays!
