Travels With Kids Made Easy

Travels With Kids Made Easy

We’ve all been there, we’ve all felt that twinge of pre-travel anxiety and stress. We all know that things can go wrong on a trip – and that is without factoring your kids into the equation too. That, and we have all seen the chaotic airport scene at Home Alone… But let’s not go in with that level of drama.

We’re thinking more along the lines of spilling food on their clean clothes, or your kids being bored out of their minds in the car, or your kids not even wanting to go on the trip in the first place.

Here, we will equip you with all the right things to make sure that the trip that you have planned will not consist of hours of whining and complaining. We have some ideas on how you can make your holiday trip a super successful one.

New toys can help the journey along

This is not us screaming that Christmas should come early on every trip that you take. It is important to note that kids will find new toys really intriguing and exciting. They will definitely keep their attention for a while.

We know that the last thing that you want is for your kids to be glued to screens for the entirety of your journey. So, you could consider treating them to a new soft toy, or even an activity book – whatever will keep your kids entertained! If you are thinking of buying an activity book for your kids, you may try AK Interactive books.

Don’t put pressure on yourself though, because sometimes giving in and letting your kids have some time on an electronic device will keep them entertained and it will give you much more peace and quiet on your journey.

Be as prepared as you can be

When it comes to packing, we can all fall into the trap of piling bags and bags of… stuff… into our cars. When you get to your destination you will definitely find that you do not end up using half of what you have overpacked.

Naturally, we recommend packing items which you deem to be absolutely essential, alongside child safety items just in case where you are staying does not come totally ‘kid proof’.

It might also be a great idea to bring a travel cot along with you too because they are so lightweight and your kids might be much more comfortable sleeping in a travel cot in comparison to a brand new bed that they are unfamiliar with.

Depending on where you are vacationing, you should really consider purchasing a travel double stroller. This is especially important if you have planned a trip with lots of walks and lots of exploring. This might be something that your kids will enjoy much more when they are sitting comfortably, and this https://itzafamilything.com/best-travel-double-stroller/ is the perfect stroller for you to do that. This stroller is super lightweight and will be perfect for packing up in your car.

As far as carrying your luggage is concerned, you can go for luggage storage services at their best. It will help you wave off the luggage worries throughout the trip. Such services are easy to avail in places like Chicago, Manchester, and many more. So, the next time you plan a trip, don’t forget to explore all about Luggage storage Manchester before you board.

Make sure you have plenty of snacks to hand

Another great way to make sure that you keep your kids engaged when traveling, or even during your trip is to be equipped with plenty of snacks. We all know how we feel when we are hungry but we are much better at keeping this buried. Kids on the other hand are a lot more expressive about their hunger… To put it politely anyway.

This can be tricky to curb in the confinements of a car, but we recommend that you select snacks that your kids enjoy and also pick snacks that will be easy for you to pack. You could even make your kids a lunchbox so they can tuck into their snacks whenever they want to. It all depends on how long your journey is – but we can guarantee that a packed lunch will certainly go down a treat!

A packed lunch is also a great way to give your kids some independence because rather than hassling you to pass them back some snacks they can just have them whenever they are ready to tuck in. Although you might have to keep an eye on your kids and make sure that they do not scoff their snacks within the first half an hour of being in the car.

Play some games to pass the time!

So our last tip for you is if you have exhausted all of the above options, and you don’t know what else you can do to keep the journey entertaining. If this is the case then you must have a super long journey ahead of you… But our final recommendation is to play some card games. There are a whole host of car games that you can play that will help you to pass the time – and the more classic ones will be well enjoyed by everyone! Think ‘I-spy’ and ‘the number plate game’. We guarantee that these games will give you HOURS of fun!
