Tips for traveling with small children Tips for traveling with small children Traveling with young children, whether it be by car, train or airplane, can be trying if not near impossible. In all forms of transportation, I can't stress enough the importance of having an appropriate car seat for your child to ride in. Not only will your child be safe, but they will also be able to see and will most likely be more comfortable.
Airlines allow children under the age of two to ride on an adult's lap for free.
Personally, for your child's safety and for the extra room, I suggest shelling out the extra money to buy your child a seat of their own. Children have been hurt on airplanes during turbulance by not being restrained in an appropriate car seat. Along with the car seat, be sure to pack a locking clip. These usually come standard with your car seat. Airplane seatbelts are very hard to adjust.
