19 20 [Next] - OK, some of you might think we are terrible parents for this, but we travel with a TV/VCR and lots of kids' movies. The TV with built-in VCR plugs into a voltage converter, which plugs into the cigarette lighter. We have 4 children, and take frequent LONG trips. This has been a lifesaver for us! Don't worry, we still talk and look at nature, and sing and take pit and play stops very often, but when all else fails and everyone gets bored, the movie comes on! The latest addition to the trip is a neat little thing that plugs into the headphone jack of the TV, then sends the audio over an unused FM radio station. Each child then has their own radio headset earphones, so there are no wires everywhere, and Mom and Dad can visit in peace without having to listen to 'The Lion King' yet again! You may think this is all unnecessary, but it keeps the kids occupied, and isn't that what it is all about? 1-Jan-2000 Rhonda Maxwell ID939 - For our young toddler, a roll of tape was her favorite airplane toy. As she got older - and even now - magnets provided lots of fun. They tend to stick together and get lost less. 6-Jun-2004 Craig H ID1636 - Air travel with tots: To keep wiggly toddlers in their seats happily, film their favorite video on your handheld videocamera. Replay in flight, letting them watch it on the small screen. (Tip: bring extra batteries!) 21-Apr-2001 Jackie Perrin ID111 - When taking long road trips with younger children (6 and younger) have them wear diapers or pull-ups (or for older kids, goodnites) while riding in the car. This has saved us from many accidents. If they refuse to wear them, keep a couple in the glove box and have them put the diaper on when they need to go. 1-Jan-2000 Janis Trela ID925 - Here's a tip that will help defray some of that worry. Before starting on the trip, visit a local hospital and ask if they will make one of those plastic bracelets for each of your children. Usually, they will. Then you can put whatever information you'd like on a slip of paper and insert it into the bracelet. If you're traveling to/through foreign countries, you may want to put the information in several languages. 1-Jan-2000 Rick Williams ID918 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.
