Make a plan
A plan is always needed, even when traveling without children. But if the baby is on the road with you, you will first have to make a list of all the necessary things. Clothes, diapers, water, food, toys, first aid kit - the minimum set that should be with you. Pack these items so that they do not have to be checked in. You may have to sacrifice less necessary items in your hand luggage, so that, for example, there is no advantage in the plane.

At the same time, there should be several entertainments, because children play one game for no more than 15 minutes. Do not reach for everything at once, let the element of surprise remain. As soon as the whims began, immediately change the subject of study.
Plan your route
When choosing a type of recreation, please note that with a child to12 years of excursion you do not shine. The story of the guide to children quickly bored. Like admiring the sights. If entertainment is not meant, rest can turn into torture. With babies, too, you don’t like around the city: it’s hard (you’ll carry not only a child, but also a mother’s bag), the weather can change dramatically, and you need to remember about feeding. A trip to the sea is best suited - in which case you are close to the hotel. If you really want to see more than just the beach, try to go on excursions in turn - the mother examines the neighborhood, dad stays with the child, and then vice versa.
All inclusive
Find out in advance whether the hotel provides servicesfor family holidays. Some hotels have animators who entertain children while adults enjoy a swimming pool, spa or local cuisine. The kitchen, by the way, can also include a children's menu.

The location of the hotel is also important - the closer to the station or the airport, the better. Not only that, as a rule, we come back from the resort with a large number of bags because of souvenirs and gifts to all relatives and friends, so also add here the chance to stand in traffic jams with your baby.
We take into account acclimatization
Even when you're driving south in the summer, it's all the samefeatures of the local climate may not be best reflected on young travelers. A sharp change in weather conditions is generally a huge stress. At best, a day or two will be spent so that the body can adapt. But the smaller the child, the easier this process takes place for him. If an exotic country is planned, it is better to do the necessary vaccinations in 2–3 weeks, not later. And be careful with local dishes! Unaccustomed baby stomachs can not perceive the treats. Experienced travelers also do not advise to come to a foreign country or city during the flowering of local plants, so as not to provoke allergies.
Remember about insurance
Many parents are increasingly inclined to believe thatbetter, as they say, perebdet. Medical insurance, especially in another country, can help very much if suddenly there are problems with the child’s health. Abroad without enough fluent knowledge of the language is easy to get confused. Find out what conditions offer banks, find what suits you, and do not worry about anything. In the event of an insured event, the company itself will find you a doctor and will even control the treatment process. Source video: Getty Images
