  • Another Use for Zip-Lock Bags
    - Carry snacks in little zip-lock bags instead of whole cookie boxes or chip cans. You can split a box of cookies into four or five zip-lock bags, which you can give to your kids when they are hungry. Crumbs stay in the bags and you can throw them away without worrying about soggy leftovers or open boxes or packets.

  • Appropriate Documentation
    - When travelling with children, especially if one parent only may accompany the child(ren) out of the country - make sure that you have a signed and notarized letter from both parents stating that permission is given to the accompanying parent (or temporary guardian) to take the child out of the country. Make sure also that the accompanying parent or guardian also has the necessary medical release forms for said child(ren). This is especially important when travelling to Mexico. Travel agents or the airline should have these forms available.

    Submitted by Anne Hudson: If one of the parents is deceased, you will also need a death certificate for that parent.

  • Are We There Yet?
    - When I travel with my daughter and her cousin, I take 2 rolls of nickels. Every time one of them asks, 'Are we there yet?' I take away a nickel. They don't like to lose money, so that keeps them from asking. They also try to find ingenious ways to get around the 'law' of the game; so it makes the trip a lot more fun.

  • Avoid Peak Air Travel Times
    - When traveling with children by air, if at all possible book at non-peak times (late at night, midday and Monday to Wednesday). This gives you a chance at a free seat for your child to stretch out and sleep. Arrive at the airport early. Sprints down an endless terminal are difficult enough, but nearly impossible when packing a baby on your back and holding a small child's hand. When traveling by car and you bring along 'treats' NEVER give out them out too fast! Try every hour. You might even take a timer.

  • Avoid Sugary Snacks
    - When traveling with young children we try to pack lots of snacks and drinks that don't have sugar in them. For example fruits and veggies, rasins, and crackers. After all - who needs a kid to get a sugar rush while confined in a carseat?
