Don’t Pre-book Everything

Wet Wipes

Buy It There

Ensure Your Visas and Passports Are Valid

While you might be able to visit three tourist sites in a day when you solo travel, your kids will get tired after just one, especially if they’re dealing with jetlag too. Travel planning is essential, but it’s so easy to go overboard and try to fit more than you can do into your travel plans.

Don’t Leave Home Without Them

Don’t Pre-book Everything

1

It can be super tempting to pre-book all your activities and attractions, thinking it will save you time while on a family vacation. But, unfortunately, it creates considerable unnecessary stress and a schedule you’re now bound to stick to.

Wet Wipes

2

Wet wipes are the most important thing you can pack when traveling with toddlers. If you’re taking a trip to London or Disney World, Florida, you can buy wet wipes there. But if you’re traveling further afield and are not sure how easy they will be to buy, take them with you.

Buy It There

3

There’s an alternative you can use to lighten those suitcases – buy it there. Do you know how much toothpaste costs where you’re going? Most likely cheaper than at home. So why are you carrying a tube of it halfway around the world?

Ensure Your Visas and Passports Are Valid

Even if your passport is valid, many countries will only issue a visa if it has at least six months until it expires. So if you’re preparing for a trip with your whole family, it is up to you to ensure that each of them has the required time left on their passports and visas.
