The most important thing to remember when traveling with kids is to pack an assortment of colorful toys and choose games that involve a lot of movement and last longer. This way your children will stay engaged and be less concerned on “Are we there yet?”

General Rules 

  • Get the kids to bed early before the day of travel to avoid cranky little ones.
  • If possible, schedule travel time for when your kids tend to nap.
  • Bring plenty of distracting toys and have them available at the start of the trip before your kids get antsy. Save the movies for when the toys have lost their luster.
  • Pack plenty of snacks to help divert tantrums.
  • Bring any medication, extra supplies, wipes and an extra change of clothes for you and your kids in an easily accessible bag. You never know when travel sickness can hit!
