Road Trip Readiness
To keep road trips fun and educational, pack a bag for each child with age-appropriate toys, books and activities. Pack electronics in a separate bag and keep it with you so that you can charge any devices and monitor their use. Have a cooler or cooler bag stocked with ice, water and chilled snacks ready for anyone who gets hungry or thirsty. If you are potty training your child, pack a travel potty or travel toilet seat and a change of clothes, and keep them handy. Make sure your first aid kit is in the glove compartment, so you can put it in your backpack or beach bag during a hike, a visit to the beach or another family adventure.
Prepare for Take Off
If your family is traveling by air this holiday season, keep certain items on hand to keep everyone calm and alleviate any fear of flying. To move swiftly through security, wear slip-on shoes, avoid wearing belts with metal buckles and keep items you typically put in your pockets in a plastic zip-top bag in your carry-on bag. Bring a backpack or small carry-on for each child filled with age-appropriate toys and activities and an extra layer for everyone in case the airplane is chilly. Include reading and fun learning activities, like flash cards or a little dry erase board for writing numbers and letters, playing tic-tac-toe and doodling. Bring gum so the children can pop their ears, pain relievers for you and your children and wipes for spills or messes.
