Family Travel Made Easy
With Babies
(NUI) - Part of the fun of being a
new parent is seeing the world through the eyes of your child.
That's why family outings are as much fun for parents as they
are for children.
Yet, getting there may not be part
of that fun. Just ask the mom or dad who has to pack up the
paraphernalia -- toys, bottles, blankets, car seats, clothes,
diaper bag -- and spends the entire trip trying to keep baby
happy.
Make the going smoother with the following
10 travel tips from travel writer Eleanor Berman, author of
the "Away For The Weekend With Kids" series. These tips will
ease the anxiety associated with traveling with an infant
or small child and make the adventure happy for everyone.
1. Being confined to a car can be
difficult for a small child. For day trips, keep the distance
down, and for all trips with small children, plan to stop
periodically for a small snack or to change a diaper.
2. Fill a special travel bag with
a few favorite toys and books for the trip. Be sure to avoid
toys with small pieces and detachable parts that can get lost
in the car.
3. Bring along baby's favorite music,
one upbeat selection for entertaining and one soothing selection
for quiet time.
4. To lessen the bulk, use multi-function
products specially designed for travel. Fisher-Price's "Home
Away From Home" products, such as the Pop-Up Play Seat and
Sit 'n Soothe Portable Bassinet, make travel easier for parents
by performing several functions.
Traveling with children is easier with
versatile items such as this Fisher-Price playtime quilt
... which can also serve as an upright infant seat.
5. Mirrors can occupy a small child
or baby for hours in a car, train or plane. Make sure the
mirror does not have sharp edges and is not too small.
6. Many babies sleep well in a car.
Schedule travel for sleep times.
7. Bring along "L-shaped" bottles
for feeding times while in a car seat. The bottle's design
enables the baby to drink without tilting his or her head
back.
8. For travel in a car seat or stroller,
a neck support or pillow can help to make the trip more comfortable.
9. Bring along familiar objects from
home, such as blankets and pillows.
10. Pack some of baby's favorite snacks;
it is hard to find Cheerios and bananas at the airport or
highway rest stop.
