Travel with children, tips: video

By the long road ready! Photo: firestockTransport When choosing a vehicle, be guided by the age of the baby. If you are going on a trip with a small child up to 3 years old - refuse to travel on the bus. This is the most inconvenient type of transport: closely, there is no opportunity to visit the toilet in time, the child will not be able to run, eat normally and sleep comfortably. Pediatricians are advised to choose a train or a plane for family trips, but traveling by car with a child can be unforgettable and enjoyable. anything can happen, especially with a baby. It is necessary to take care of essential medicines in advance (antiseptics, antihistamines and antivirals, medicines for diarrhea, antibiotics, thermometers, antipyretic drugs and sunscreens). After all, it may happen that you cannot get to the doctor’s appointment immediately, being on a train or on a highway. Be sure to visit the therapist before you travel and get medical insurance if possible. Hygiene When traveling with your child, pay special attention to hygiene products. Do not be lazy to grab wet wipes, paper napkins, hygienic bags (babies can vomit on a long road from constant pitching). an extra pack of diapers and ... a pot! Believe me, in the train, especially during the sanitary zones, you will thank yourself more than once for your intelligence. Traveling by carBefore traveling, be sure to carefully check not only the technical condition of the vehicle, but also the condition of the child car seat or the cradle (belts, latches, extras should be damage). All childish luggage and hygiene items are folded in a separate bag, and in the trunk, place it on top of the packed for the family suitcases. In no case do not take large bags and suitcases in the salon, during heavy braking or an extraordinary situation they can cause additional injuries to your baby. How to entertain a restless person on the road If you can, then plan to go on a long journey in the early morning or late evening. The child will sleep peacefully on the way, and you will get rid of additional vagaries. Bring a pair of favorite toys for your baby, books, a couple of cartoons, felt-tip pens, an album, but do not forget about the great variety of miniature handheld games. Classes for children in travel can turn into a real tournament on checkers-chess (magnetic), sea battle, or the number of assembled puzzle figures of the “Snake” puzzle. Children up to 1.5 years really like books with stickers, from 2 years you can already offer to play Tetris or fun races on the phone, and kids from 3 years will like games that develop imagination. You shouldn’t buy On the way, ready-made meals with hands, exclude all dishes with mayonnaise, dairy products, drink water only from bottles. Wash fruit from local markets very thoroughly, preferably with soap, and scald with boiling water if possible. It is better not to offer unfamiliar exotic fruits to the child: if not poisoning, then almost every second traveling baby can get allergic. We will not forget that the trip is necessary for the child, but do not forget that the child must take a nap, and excursions should not exceed 1 5–2 hours. The beauty of nature, ancient castles, mountains and museums of children occupy little. It is better if you go on holiday to specialized family-run hotels with a special range of services, animators and a water park. Children will be happy, and you will have extra time to rest from the little fidgets. If you plan your vacation in advance, talk over all the details with your partner, stock up with everything you need, then the rest will not be spoiled. And on the way home you are sure to plan the next trip with the whole family. How to start?
