When you travel by air with kids, everything has to be screened. This means that it must go through the x-ray machines or be visually inspected. 29-Feb-2008 Janie Kristoff ID2063 - When my son was little, just before heading on a drive we would fill his sippy cup with ice cubes, and put in about 1/2 inch of water. This kept him getting sips of water for the whole trip, and prevented any major spills from happening. Also, in a carseat, a child's little 'sit-bones' tend to get sore very quickly. A gel-pad that you can get at a bicycle shop will make the journey much more pleasant for everyone. 11-Jan-2002 sedim ID426 - I travelled over 5000 kilometres with my 4, 5, & 6 year old recently over a period of seven days. It was the third long distance trip on my own with the kids. I made sure I had heaps of individually wrapped potato chips, biscuits, raisins etc., and individual bottles of water with plenty of top up water next to me. Fruit doesn't work as well - as I usually find it weeks later stashed behind the booster seats! Also take lots of children's stories and music on tapes, plenty of cheap toys, and new books. I couldn't afford Gameboys but they might be a good idea! As previously suggested I had the kids constantly check out strip maps for me to 'advise me' how far we had gone. Pointing out any sights along the way kept the kids interest up, but I have to admit - I was EXTREMELY glad to finally arrive! 1-Jan-2000 Ruth Nathan ID922 - When selecting toys for your baby or toddler on a long road trip, remember to leave the 'noisy' or 'musical' toys at home. Although they are entertaining, they can be very distracting to the driver (especially anything that sounds even remotely like a police siren) and no matter how much your baby loves 'the cow says moooo', you're going to find yourself ready to throw that toy out the window after a few hundred miles! 22-Apr-2001 Cathy Brockway ID131 - One of the best toys we have found for keeping our toddler occupied on trips is a travel-sized MagnaDoodle. When he drops the 'pen', it is attached by string; there are no pieces to lose; and he doesn't run out of paper. We write easy words on it, and he learns to read them, and gets really excited when he knows one ... or, we draw simple pictures and he figures those out. It should be great for kids of all ages - Mommy & Daddy have fun with it, too! 1-Jan-2000 Kim Machir ID911 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.
