Recommendations for Traveling With Kids


Those of us who are parents know well how tough it can be when we're trying to get somewhere with the kids—if our destination is far away and we have to fly, it's usually even harder. With that in mind, we at SmarterTravel decided to survey our readers about how best to travel with children. The article I wrote about what they had to say just went live today. Hope you like it.

Yay, a topic we can agree on! Interesting reader suggestions. I must say I prefer these two tips:

1) Fly at a time of day that your child normally naps.

2) Tire toddlers with active activities before boarding so that they fall asleep once the flight is in motion (preferably while the plane is still on the tarmac).

To this one:

3) We first flew with my son when he was a baby. His doctor recommended giving him a small dose Benadryl an hour before so he'd sleep through the flight. He was right and it was worth it.

Don't medicate your kids for no reason, people!
