Many parents worry about taking their toddlers on vacation. While managing flights and hotels with a toddler can be a challenge, a little preparation and the right accommodations can turn your vacation into an adventure. Below are a few tips to make traveling with your toddler as easy and stress-free as possible.

A Guide to Traveling With Toddlers

1. Don’t Overpack

Being prepared and keeping your child entertained are essential, but bringing too much on your trip can make it difficult to find what you need. Packing light and focusing only on things you know you’ll need will help you stay organized on flights and long drives. Only bring a few toys or books, a tablet, and other activities to keep your toddler occupied on the trip.

2. Choose the Right Hotel

hotelSome lodging offers cribs or toddler beds for a small fee, but that doesn’t mean the hotel is geared toward families. Staff at hotels that cater to young families are often more understanding and will know how to make your stay as pleasant as possible. They may also have more activities designed for small children, which can keep your toddler from getting bored.

3. Give Yourselves Extra Time

Trying to make a flight at the last minute is stressful, but having a toddler along makes it more difficult. Avoid the pressure by getting to the airport early and taking the opportunity to board as soon as possible. If you’re driving, add extra time into the drive time to make room for any surprise stops along the way.
