The joys of travelling with children are discussed on this episode! The most difficult age to travel with a child, what to pack, tricks to help your child sleep on vacation, preparing for the unexpected, and how many diapers to pack for the plane! I talk with Erin and Craig who took their Adventure Baby to Australia and New Zealand for TWO MONTHS when she was 3.5-5.5 months old, Japan, Quebec and MANY more. They have a blog that details all of their travels and is organized by age of their Adventure Baby and by places they’ve travelled (before and after baby). It explains thoroughly what you will need and gives many tips and tricks for different ages of children you may be travelling with.
In this episode Craig and Erin share some top tips that have carried them through travels with their child at every stage such as: honouring the child's sleep schedule, packing your laundry detergent from home, using a video monitor, things you should think about before choosing where to stay and how carrying toys you don't let your child play with for most of the trip can be a life saver!
Their website is www.highfiveadventures.com and it is organized by both AGE of child you are travelling with AND by the PLACES in the world they have travelled. Check it out before your next plane, train, bus or car trip!
We also discuss when their Adventure Baby was at what they found to be the most difficult age to travel with (hint: it's in the TODDLER years!) and things you can do beforehand to prepare your child for what they will see and do while travelling.
