The post The Pros and Cons of Family Winter Holidays appeared first on FlyingKids.
]]>Admit it, there’s something magical about traveling in the winter – something the summer season can’t just compete with. However, it comes with challenges too. From flight delays to the icy roads, there are a few things you should consider when traveling during the winter, especially if you are bringing your kids with you.
So if you’re thinking about traveling with your kids this winter (and if this is going to be your first winter family travel), knowing about the following pros and cons will greatly help you decide whether it’s the ideal kind of trip for your family.
Ready? Here we go.
There are surely delightful reasons to travel with kids in the winter. Here are some of them:
Snow allows travellers to experience the world in a whole new perspective. And while it’s often a nuisance for the grownups, for the young ones – it’s a truly magical and fun experience. Apart from the snowy white surroundings, there are so many winter activities that you and your children will surely enjoy. There’s outdoor ice skating in colder areas, along with a beautiful display of ice creations and beautiful lights in the night. Yes. As the popular song goes, you may want to let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
Because it isn’t peak season, traveling during the winter is way more expensive than traveling during summer. From air flights to hotel accommodations and tourist attractions, you’d get to save money on your bookings. This means a lot especially if you have a big family. Booking early will help you save even more. And maybe that extra money could go toward a sumptuous family dinner at a fancy restaurant, a trip to the museum, or an extended stay in your destination.
Open fires, deep sofas, thick blankets, and character rooms – don’t you want to experience it with your family once in a while? During winter, many contemporary, artistic rental homes and cottages become available for family bookings. Isn’t it lovely to watch the beautiful snowflakes fall from your window while your kids enjoy hot chocolate or healthy, warm chicken soup? Traveling during the winter brings not only inspiring views, but an opportunity to sit back, chill and relax. After all, it’s what you’ve travelled for. Just don’t forget to pack your wellies!
After that unforgettable experience playing with snow, family travels during the winter season brings more time for children to really take time off and relax. There are so many activities they can do inside the hotel or vacation home apart from watching TV. You may want to bring some coloring books, puzzles, or art materials for your kids. Surely, they’d enjoy less exhausting yet creative activities at the end of the day.
Every child loves Christmas. And there are places all over the world where the Christmas spirit can be enjoyed the most, like in Austria, Valkenburg, Netherlands, Vermont, France and Belgium. It’s a great time to experience Holiday in a different city, while connecting with the locals and learning more about their culture.
Traveling during the winter is really fun. But there are downsides too:
This is basically the main reason why many families ought to travel during summer. The weather can get worse sometimes, and treacherous storms can cause flight delays and icy roads. Of course, you don’t want that especially if you’re traveling with kids. It is very important to constantly check on weather updates. It’ll be nice if you’d do more research about your destination, especially what particular months during winter the weather is worst.
Apart from doing a research, you also want to make sure you’re all geared up before leaving home, especially your kids. You may need to pack more clothes than usual. Also, planning is crucial. Consider booking in advance and listing down everything you need, from the basics like clothes and medications to the add-ins – books to read while traveling, maps, toys, etc.
In some parts of the world, there are cities that tend to shut down during the winter. A variety of destinations, stores, and kids’ attractions that may be popular in summer may not open during winter. So, whether you’re having an international or domestic trip with your family, be sure to do your research carefully.
Traveling is traveling regardless of the season. What is more important is that you make the most out of every family trip you make. By being prepared and doing a little more research, you and your kids will definitely have a one-of-kind, less stressful and memorable family travel, rain or shine.

]]>Bringing all the clothing items that children need for a trip can be challenging. You want to make sure the suitcase is not so heavy and awkward that you can not easily handle it, yet still include the basic essentials.
The destination location will help you determine the types of clothes you pack; so carefully check the average temperature for the area, as well as any projected precipitation. Consider that you may actually buy some of the bulkier items such as diapers or umbrella when you arrive at your location.
Pack in units for the trip, in other words categorize the clothes into outerwear, shoes, special occasion clothes, play clothes, and underclothing including sleepwear. If you have a checklist such as this, you will not forget any items.
Outerwear may not be a necessity if you are traveling into warm climates. Do keep in mind that some coastal cities dip into much cooler weather in the evening, and some have a dedicated rainy season. If the weather is cool, layer clothing such as sweatshirts and t-shirts. Bulky coats and heavy sweaters take up a lot of luggage space and can be uncomfortable to wear all day while sightseeing. A lightweight rain jacket that can be rolled up neatly should be packed. I include hats with outerwear. Depending on the climate, your hats could be rain hats, sun hats, ski hats, baseball hats, or straw hats. To know which ones to pick, check your itinerary.
Shoes need to be comfortable for walking, and while rain boots are very smart to take, they do occupy a lot of suitcase space. If you are at the shore for your vacation, make sure to bring flip-flops or sandals. Evaluate the events that are special occasion. You and you alone must determine if the kids can get away with wearing sneakers to a nice venue. Bring more than one pair of walking shoes, as wet shoes are a pain to put on and awful to wear.
I like to group play clothes and sightseeing clothes into the same category. Blue jeans can be re-worn and some khaki can also be used more than once. If you child is especially messy, utilize the clothes cleaning service offered by the hotel rather than over packing with multiple outfits.
Packing tip #6 is about underclothes. I always pack enough clothing for the trip and then add three emergency pairs. If the child is in the middle of the potty training process, you might want to add more extra undergarments. You may also need to purchase some type of training pants or nightwear pants for the child going through the potty training process. For sleeping wear, as long as the kids are bathing before bedtime, you can reuse them a few times. I would say one sleeping outfit for every two-three days. I include socks in this group, and what type I pack depends upon the weather at the vacation destination. I always pack two extra pairs because wet socks are no fun. You know your children and their needs, so pack accordingly.

]]>Here’s a handy checklist to help you out!
Extra Socks and Underwear
Everyone is likely to end up soaking wet at several parts of your holiday. Not to mention the sweat that can accumulate during an active day on the slopes! Of course, you will pack a new pair for each day. Ideally though, unless you want to spend part of your family vacation doing laundry, you should try and take a minimum of two sets per day … and then throw in a few extra sets to be totally on the safe side! You will likely want to take plenty of extra regular clothes too.
Sunscreen and Lip Balm
A combination of the cold and the sun can play havoc with the skin, for old and young alike. Chapped lips are no fun at all! Make sure everyone applies both before going out in the morning, and keep topping up throughout the day. You may also want to take a moisturising after-sun to use of an evening to keep everyone’s skin nice and silky smooth.
Plug Adapters
So, you’ve packed the iPad and a whole host of other gadgets and gizmos to keep the kids entertained. But don’t forget the chargers and adapters! They are not so expensive and are those things that you don’t fully appreciate until you don’t have them!
Sunglasses
The glare off the snow can be pretty intense. Protect your children’s eyes by having a good pair of sunglasses for them to wear.
Water Bottle
A refillable water bottle helps to keep everyone well-hydrated during fun and active days.
Thermals
Thermal clothing is wonderful in colder conditions, and it allows your kids to wear layers to adapt to the changing temperatures throughout the day.
Kids’ Travel Guide – Ski
The Kids’ Travel Guide – Ski is a fantastic way for your kids to brush up on their safety knowledge, learn more about skiing, pick up some ski and snowboard lingo, and complete an array of fun and engaging activities during periods of quiet time. Don’t leave home without it!
First Aid Kid
Whilst you probably carry a small first aid kit with you on all of your family travels, there is an increased chance of bumps and scrapes on a skiing trip. Check it is well-stocked with the essentials before you set off. And, if you use anything whilst away make sure that you pop into a pharmacy near your resort to replenish your stocks as soon as possible.
Of course, you’ll also want your ski and / or snowboard equipment (if you don’t plan on hiring it whilst away) and a few small travel games, favourite teddy bears, etc. Are there any other things that you think are absolutely essential items to have on a family skiing adventure?

]]>The post Efficient and Stress-Free Packing for Children appeared first on FlyingKids.
]]>Packing is already a tricky endeavor when traveling alone and even more so when traveling with children. However, with simple planning ahead of time and a strict inventory list, packing with children can become easy, efficient, and stress free!
Depending on the age of the children, there are some essentials to bring. In terms of children still in diapers or using formula, make sure to bring enough for at least 2-3 days. That way, if something goes wrong or your flight gets delayed a day or two, you still have enough to last. However, buy the rest of the diapers and formula in your final destination. This also accounts for most toiletries. If you don’t want to buy your toiletries at your final destination, buy small containers and bottles. Transfer a small portion of each item into these containers and bottles. Because of the stingy rules for carrying liquids through security, pack as many liquids as possible in your checked luggage. Only keep essentials such as baby food, baby formula, breast milk, and medications within your carry-on luggage.
Start packing early and give your children choices. While it is important to oversee the packing of their checked luggage to ensure all the essentials are packed, give them a bit more freedom when packing their carry-on. Assign each child a small backpack (easy to handle when walking through an airport!) and explain that they are allowed to pack whatever they would like in their backpack. However, clarify that they only get that much room. That way, you control the size of their carry-on (the smaller, the better!) but give them the responsibility of choosing what they would like to bring. Most children travel and sleep with some sort of blanket or stuffed animal. Make sure that this is packed and included in their carry-on to avoid any major meltdown at the airport or final destination.
Usually it doesn’t make sense to pack a high chair, crib, and any other bulker items. In most cases, a stroller is sufficient enough. Furthermore, most hotels will supply a crib or pack-n-play, although call ahead of time and double check! A stroller is useful for quickly getting children from point A to point B. Furthermore, it can double as a seat when at a restaurant. This is especially useful when restaurants have outdoor seating. If you don’t want to use a stroller at a restaurant, there are small, fabric, foldable high chairs that make a good alternative. Furthermore, a booster seat is much smaller and serves the same purpose. Make sure to properly label all of your bulker items, such as your stroller, just as you would any other luggage item. If possible, bring a travel case or large garbage bags to put your stroller in for the flight.
While most of these suggestions are geared more towards flying, there is a bit more flexibility when driving. However, regardless of your mode of transportation, it is always best to travel as light as possible!

]]>General Travel
No matter where and when you are travelling there are a few items that you will probably want to pack for your kids. Of course they will need suitable clothing for their vacation, but don’t overlook the importance of also having sleepwear that is appropriate to the temperature and that will ensure your kids have a comfortable and restful night’s sleep. After all, tired kids usually make for much longer and less fun days for all! It is highly recommended to take a favourite soft toy of your child’s to help them feel more secure and settled. A basic first aid kid should be on your list as well as any repeat medication along with extra copies of any prescriptions just in case any medicine is mislaid and needs to be replaced. A few small toys and games can be a travel life-saver during quieter periods; our Kids’ Travel Guides are also great for keeping kids occupied and entertained. Toiletries and personal care items are also essentials.
Road Trips
You will probably want to think a bit more about different games and activities t keep your children occupied during road trips. Having a good election will help t relieve boredom on long open stretches of road. It is a great idea to have a few things that can be enjoyed outside of the car on rest breaks too – you may be surprised at how much excess energy a football or a Frisbee can burn off on a short rest stop! Pick your car music carefully and your kids will be happier, and having a good selection of snacks and drinks is recommended. If your children suffer from motion sickness make sure that you pack something to prevent this. Depending on the age of yor kids you may also want to take a car seat.
Hot Weather Trips
Sun block, a cap, and a long-sleeved shirt to prevent sunburn should be included for trips to hot places. Oral rehydration therapies could be a great idea and you should make sure that you always have enough fluids to hand for your kids. Swimwear is always a great idea in hotter climates whether you are going to a beach resort or not – many towns and cities have public swimming pools that can be a great activity for a day in the heat. Jelly shoes are a great way of letting your kids paddle in the sea without excessive worrying about what they may stand on. Depending on the exact destination insect repellent and something to soothe any bites should also go into your case. Talcum powder can help with heat rash and chaffing and sunglasses should be included..
Cold Weather Trips
A suitable jacket / coat, a scarf, hat, gloves, warm socks, and ear muffs all help to keep your kids warmer in colder temperatures. Vaseline and lip salve can prevent chaffing and chapping, and a soothing lotion can work wonders if it’s too late to prevent dry skin and cracks because of the cold. If you are skiing a pair of sunglasses can help prevent glare from the sun, and if there is likely to be a lot of rain in your destination don’t forget an umbrella and / or a raincoat.
Do you have any must-have items for different types of family trips?

]]>The post Travel with Kids: What You Should Do (And What You Should Not!) appeared first on FlyingKids.
]]>You may have loads of experience of travelling before you had kids, but once you throw little ones into the equation it’s a whole different ball game! Many people worry about their first (and sometimes subsequent!) trip with children, but with a little advance planning and preparation you can still enjoy a fabulous family vacation. Here are some handy dos and don’ts that should make your trip more enjoyable:
Do
Book Accommodation in Advance
You may be used to freestyle travels, where you move around lots and find somewhere when you arrive. This method of travelling doesn’t work so well with kids, who may be tired, hungry, bored grumpy … traipsing around trying to find a place to sleep really won’t be any fun for any of you in this situation, and could lead to some serious nerves becoming frayed! Enjoy the feeling of knowing where you will be each night, no matter what else your trip throws at you. Linked to accommodation, when you make a booking also make sure that the property has any additional features that you require beforehand to save any unpleasant surprises on arrival. For example, if you will need an additional bed, a cot, or similar, check before you confirm your booking.
Allocate Plenty of Time
Allow extra time for anything that you want or need to do. This means that you went feel rushed or harried if your child wants to lollygag a little and take in all the sights and sounds all around them. It gives little legs chance to keep up and you unexpected toilet stops or little wobbles won’t phase you so much. Don’t leave checking in at the airport / arriving at a bus station / leaving for a pre-booked event / waking up for a trip etc until the last minute!
Pack Things to Keep the Kids Amused
Whether you’re chilling out in the hotel room, in a restaurant waiting for dinner to be served, on a plane or other form of transportation or so on, having a few small activities to keep the children occupied can really help to keep everyone happy. And, happy children typically mean happy parents! A Kids’ Travel Guide is a great way to give children something to do – they can read about all the places to come, complete the tasks and activities, and more. Having a small pack of colouring pencils or crayons along with a pad of paper is another quick and easy activity. Have a few small games in mind to distract your children for when you sense their mood starting to dip, and don’t underestimate the power of having a few small games and their favourite toy!
Don’t
Let Kids Miss Lots of School
This is a tricky one, as some of the best deals on trips (and when places are usually less crowded) fall outside of the official school holidays. Some parents say that they are giving their children an excellent education in life, culture etc, and missing a few weeks of school won’t harm them in the long run. Whilst this may be true, some countries and individual schools have quite strict policies about kids missing school for holidays. Check beforehand – you don’t want your child to be the one to suffer with lots of catch up tasks when you return!
Forget a First Aid Kit
A small first aid kit is invaluable on your travels. Whether your kids get a small bump or scrape, get bitten by an insect, have an upset stomach, or any other minor ailment, having the means to make it better on the spot is so much easier than having to find a pharmacy in a new place. Also make sure that you pack enough prescription medication for the duration of the trip.
Let Kids Pack Their Own Day Packs
Of course you want your children to be involved as much as possible and you want them to take things with them that they actually want. But make sure that you either guide this process or check and edit before you leave. You don’t want to be left carrying another heavy bag because your child is too tired to lug around their entire car collection / selection of hard back books / multitude of dolls with outfits and accessories for any possible occasion … and similar.
These are just a few small tips that should help you when arranging your family travels.
The post Travel with Kids: What You Should Do (And What You Should Not!) appeared first on FlyingKids.
]]>The post Traveling with Babies appeared first on FlyingKids.
]]>When traveling with babies, parents need to know in advance which traveling accessories for babies are permitted on airplanes. If traveling by road, they will also need to know what to carry so that all of baby’s needs are met.
Basic travel pack
The basic traveling accessories for babies will include diapers, creams and lotions and clean changes of clothing for during the flight. Be aware that on many airlines there are restrictions about what you can carry with you. Creams for the baby should be kept in hand luggage, though check allowances as these vary with different air companies. If the baby is permitted a travel bag, this helps and some airlines do understand the need. Baby food and milk is permitted on planes, and if you need a bottle warming, the stewardess will usually be pleased to oblige. If you need a carrycot, do ask in advance as these are very much given out “on demand” and you may find yourself without one if not considered at the time of booking.
Car travel
For those traveling by car, the basic traveling accessories for babies outlined above make sense although you need to make sure you have sufficient baby food and formula for the whole trip. A change in formula may make baby sick. Take the opportunity to include a fold down stroller or a sling as these will help you when reaching your destination. One of the most useful items to always have with you when traveling with baby is wipes as these come in handy in obvious ways as well as for cleaning hands between feeds. If depending upon hotel accommodation, it may be worthwhile packing an inflatable baby bath, since many hotels don’t cater for this essential aspect of a baby’s life. However, chances are that they will have highchairs and that you can use the stroller if that is not the case.
When thinking about hygiene, it’s always worth taking your own baby blankets as your baby will feel snug within familiar bedclothes. A baby may also be more comfortable with his/her favorite toy.
Clothing and bags
The kind of bag you need is one specifically made for carrying all the paraphernalia needed to change baby, including a section where soiled diapers can be safely stored until disposed of. There need to be plenty of pockets for all the necessary clothing, and the bag should carry enough clothing for regular changing of baby as and when spills happen.
With a little preparation in advance, you and your baby will arrive safely at your destination with very little difficulty en route. Being prepared for the travel is simple though make sure that adequate supplies are packed and easy to reach at all times during the voyage. By doing this, you are keeping baby safe and not depending upon buying items you are unfamiliar with at your holiday destination. That makes a lot of sense and helps in the well-being of your baby.

]]>The post Essential Travel First Aid Kit appeared first on FlyingKids.
]]>There may be possible vaccinations that are recommended for the whole family too, depending on where you’re going, so make sure you check these well in advance of your travel dates; some courses can take several weeks to become effective, and several injections may be necessary for full protection.
When it comes down to getting ready to go, this helpful checklist should make sure that you remember all the essentials. If you do forget anything though, don’t panic – it is usually very easy to buy most basic first aid essentials from a pharmacy when you are away. Just make sure you get them in ready, rather than waiting to see if you need them. You can bet that the one thing you don’t have will be the one thing that you end up needing … and usually when the pharmacies are closed or you are not near to any shopping areas.
Don’t forget the following:
If you are likely to be heading well off the beaten bath, or visiting a country where health care is not so sanitary, you may also want to consider taking your own sterile needle kit. This usually isn’t necessary though for most child-friendly destinations.
An empty plastic carrier bag can also be very useful for if your child suddenly feels as though they will vomit on transportation or in any their public place.
Make sure that all members of the family are covered by comprehensive travel insurance too.
Be prepared, but ultimately, enjoy your holidays!

]]>We cannot stress enough the importance of carrying luggage with wheels. There are several kinds – the ones that roll smoothly in only one direction at about a 45 degree incline, and the ones with 360 degree rolling wheels. Get the kind you are most comfortable with, and give them a test drive, just to ensure good quality. Make sure you are comfortable using one hand pulling the luggage easily while holding your kids in your other hand, if that is to be the scenario. You need friendly luggage to steer you on footpaths, and in out of trains and buses. Never choose suitcases without wheels. Better to be swift on the move than to strain your arms unnecessarily.
Also, if you’re thinking of investing in new bags for the trip, do check the lightweight varieties on offer these days. True, they are a tad expensive, but the combination of sturdy and weightless is a valuable combination you will agree. Luggage is a long-term investment. Make your decision wisely.
In addition to suitcases, you are also advised to get your children a backpack each. The ones that are both light and rainproof will be your best bet. These will come in handy on the flight, during car and train travel, and while on the trot each day.
For the Flight
For Longer Journeys on the Car, Train or Bus
For Days Out

]]>PACKING If reading this, you are certainly preparing to visit Paris with your family. Here are some ideas for an efficient packing. LUGGAGE Note to self: You should only take luggage with wheels. There are several kinds – the ones that roll smoothly in only one direction at about a 45 degree incline, and the ones with 360 degree rolling wheels. Get the kind you are most comfortable with, and give them a test drive, just to ensure good quality. Make sure you are comfortable using one hand to carry the luggage easily while holding your kids with your other hand. In cities that are easy to walk in, like Paris, where hiring cabs / taxis might get too expensive, you need luggage that is easy to steer so you can get in and out of trains and buses easier. You should also keep in mind that the métro stations often don’t have ramps or lifts, and some have many stairs. While Parisians are often very polite and will frequently offer to help you with heavy bags and prams, it still makes travelling around a big hassle. Try to keep the weight of your luggage to a minimum so that you can carry it easily up and down a lot of stairs. CLOTHING AND ACCESSORIES Chances are, you’re planning your trip to Paris for the summer season. Whilst packing for winter is a no-brainer – cardigans, caps, ear muffs, gloves, parkas, raincoats and thermals – Parisian weather can be rather tricky in the summer season. Sure, it may not be as much of a roller-coaster ride as Chicago, but temperatures can spike or drop 30 degrees Fahrenheit within 24 hours. It is important that you pack all possible layers for yourselves and your children. You definitely do not want a sneezing, sniffling Pinocchio on your hands. Shoes are the most important for any wardrobe when you’re traveling. Not the style – the comfort! If you have walking shoes / compressed air joggers that don’t compromise on style, then, kudos to you. But if you need to compromise on one, compromise on style. You and your kids will definitely need that comfort, because sight-seeing in Paris requires a lot of walking. If your feet hurt, so will your trip. Pack coin purses too. You will soon discover that you will be paying for most of your meals and snacks with coins.
