Stress Free Tips for Traveling with Kids

Choose the right accommodations

Take some time to research and consider all your accommodation options before you book — this will prevent future headaches. Ask yourself — is your room easily accessible or will you have to haul three kids and five pieces of luggage up an old, winding staircase? A hotel with a pool or a play area might come in handy when one parent needs to entertain the offspring in order to give the other some quiet time. Or perhaps your family is better suited to a rental apartment instead of a hotel room — having access to a kitchen that you can prepare healthy meals in will give you a break from constantly dining out and give your kids a comforting feeling of being at home. Whatever you choose, look before you book to make your stay just a little bit easier.
