Top 16 Tips for Traveling with a Baby or Toddler

Top 16 Tips for Traveling with a Baby or Toddler

So many people say that you can never travel again once you have kids. As someone who is expecting a little one in July, I refuse to believe that. I know several people who have continued to travel both domestically and internationally with their children, and have raved about how rewarding it can be. I am determined to continue to do what I love, just as a family. And I look forward to her getting older when she can start to remember and benefit from seeing the world. But I know that there will be some changes in the way we travel, so here are some tips that I have compiled from the many parents who have continued to travel with their kids.

Traveling with Kids

People always tell me, “It’s good that you are traveling now, because once you have kids, you won’t be able to!”  

But does that have to be true? I know of many parents who bring their kids right along with them, and still really enjoy their experiences. I decided that I needed to interview someone who has experience with traveling with kids to find out if it really is as doable as I am telling myself it will be some day.

Daniel and Jill have two girls, Alina (9) and Sofia (6), and have enjoyed traveling as a family every summer excluding the years when the girls were first born. Both parents work in schools, and so summers have become an opportunity to go on extended trips. I was able to ask Daniel all about how they have managed to keep this up!

Patty Monahan started a tour company called Our Whole Village, which specializes in family travel and raising children to become global citizens. As a travel addict and a former educator, I have been a guest writer on her blog, which is filled with stories and tips related to family travel. I asked Patty about her thoughts on global citizenship, traveling with children, and what her offered tours are like. Plus, she's giving my readers a discount on all trips and tours!
