  • Hot and Sweaty?

  • - Fill a zip-lock bag with ice cubes and a old washcloth. Being able to wipe hot sweaty faces and hands with something cold can be a life saver for children as well as adults.

  • How Not to Lose Your Child!

  • - 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!

  • How to Be a Healthy Traveler with Kids

  • - Always carry disinfectant hand wipes and wet wipes, as they come in handy when travelling with children and are great if you have an accident at 35,000 feet!

  • ID for the Kids

  • - 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.

  • In-Car Entertainment While You Travel with Kids

  • - My top three tips for a hassle-free trip with children include:

    • Take plenty of refreshments. Children generally become unsettled in a car if they do not have enough hydration.

    • Ensure that you stop two or three times during the journey, not only to break the time up, but also to give everyone a chance to stretch their legs.

    • Pack things in the car to keep the children occupied; for example: paper and coloured pens, books, and comics.

    We live on the south coast of England, and occasionally enjoy a holiday weekend in Wales. As a family, we particularly enjoy staying in holiday cottages in Wales, especially those in some remote location in the mountainous region of the north. There are two children in the family, and so far neither have created any problems during the long journey.
