What are some tips for traveling with a toddler?


Toddlers are innately adventurous. They like to explore new things, places and people as it stimulates their brain. With some planning, traveling with a toddler can actually be hugely rewarding. They make memories and get exposed to different cultures, developing more empathy and learning language early on. Here are some tips for making travel easy with a toddler:

1. Carry light weight activities they are currently into. For example, sticker books, coloring or puzzles.
2. Carry a lovey in your backpack/hand luggage.
3. Carry a few of their night time reading books. 
4. Keep energy snacks handy at all times. 
5. Use a carrier if you are going to be outdoors. For example, hiking or trekking.
6. Book a morning flight if it is over 7-8 hours. Book a flight during their nap time if shorter than 7-8 hours.
7. Ask for an upgrade at the airport. 
8. Make them walk at the airport instead of using a stroller, that way they will get tired and sleep in the plane.
