Kid friendly travel

I have two young boys and one of them just turned two. He’s trying to redefine the terrible two’s into something much crazier. Hair pulling crazier.

Traveling with the kids is always an adventure. Whether we’re on a shopping trip for groceries or taking a longer car ride to see relatives, it’s important that you always have the necessary gear within arms reach. Consequently we always have a bag full of goodies like pacifiers, crackers, sippy cup, toys, books, whatever it takes to keep him entertained.

One of the essential pieces of travel gear we have are the diaper bags which makes life much easier and more organized.

There are many designer diaper bags that must be considered before settling on your choice.

Fortunately we’ve entered the age when he’s content to watch TV in the car. We have a built in DVD entertainment system and it plays a kid friendly movie constantly. Of course he still has to holler once in a while and gets fussy when his every need isn’t met instantly, but at least it keeps him occupied for a while.

It requires a lot of creativity on the part of parents when traveling with kids. Its easy for adults to get bored to imagine how difficult it is for hyperactive kids to sit still and be silent. We need to find car games, ask them about school, generally try to engage them so they don’t get whiny and out of hand.

I like to use car time to find out what my oldest child did during the day. It’s a chance for us to have a real conversation. Although, if his little brother starts hollering then all bets are off.
