Traveling with children can be a fun and exciting experience. As a Mom of 3, we’ve taken quite a few road trips. As you prepare for your upcoming family travel, here are the best tips for traveling with kids. This past weekend we decided to take a trip to San Antonio. The drive from was about 4.5 hours which wasn’t too bad for the kids. The longest road trip we’ve taken with our children was 12 hours. We always leave early in the morning which creates a more peaceful experience. The kids are still sleepy and sleep the majority of the trip. When we arrive to our destination the kids are excited and ready to play.
I pack lots of snacks for the kids. Mostly healthy snacks including fruit but I also add a few treats that they normally don’t get to enjoy and I save them for when we’re closer to our destination.
During long road trips, we always pack their favorite toys. When we’re traveling longer distances, I purchase a new toy and give it to them during the trip. This keeps them entertained because they’re so excited to have something new.
When traveling, be sure to pack a first aid kit, medicine, napkins, baby wipes, cleansing wipes, sanitizer, water, blankets, paper bags for soiled clothes, change of clothes, and extra food. These items should be packed separately and within close reach. Are you taking any road trips soon or planning any this summer?
