10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 [Next] - In case of separation, every second counts! When travelling through airports or other crowded places, I lace two 'jingle bells' to the toes of my son's shoes. (He calls them his 'jingle boots'.) I also hang a small plastic whistle on a string around his neck to be used ONLY if he gets separated from us. Finally, I carry a recent, full-length photo taken of him in his standard travel outfit (his blue windsuit) - a quick way for people to recognize him in a busy place! 21-Apr-2001 Lorraine Fleck ID108 - When taking cross country road trips, take small photos of children (school shots, etc.) On the back write their name and age, along with any other information you desire (such as emergency medical, who to notify). Put these in a ziplock baggy and tape to the dash or somewhere noticeable in the vehicle. If an accident were to happen most kids haven't any identifcation like adults do. 20-Apr-2001 B. Robinson ID29 - Buy an inexpensive camera (with flash) for children old enough to use it. The trip is then photographed from the child's prospective. My daughter absolutely adores doing this. She then creates a memory book with her photos. 1-Jan-2000 Lori Osawa ID936 - When travelling with children, be sure to pack a change of clothes for yourself. Time and again my children have spilled sticky drinks all over me on the plane and I was glad I had thought to bring extra clothes for myself! Also it helps to premake airsickness bags at home as the ones the airlines provide are not always there. Another tip - put some cold drinks such as Capri Sun or juice boxes in your carry-on. If your child is thirsty and it will be a while for the drink steward to come down the isle, you will be glad you have them. 1-Jan-2000 Lee Ann Steinmetz ID917 - Never hand a child to a fellow passenger or traveler while you go through airport security. Walk through with your children yourself. 29-Feb-2008 Janie Kristoff ID2064 Would You Like to Add a Travel Tip?We welcome QUALITY travel tips from our users.Note: you will be required to enter the characters from a security image, so please make sure that you have your browser set to view images.
