Traveling is pleasant, especially if you do it as a family. Packing suitcases for children, tea makers, medicines, among others, should be a fun task and not torture. Therefore, we recommend you follow the following tips.
1. Remember that if you travel with children to another country, they must also have their passport valid for at least 6 months and also the visas corresponding to the destination you will visit, if required.
2. If the minor travels alone or with one of his or her parents, he or she must have his or her parents' permission to do so. This document is usually an authenticated authorization; however, before traveling, check with airport authorities.
3. When buying airline tickets or bus travel tickets, remember that children, the elderly, and pregnant women have priority, so it is important that you choose these seats. In most cases they are the front chairs.
4. If you are bringing cars or baby baskets, let the flight attendants know; they will help you store these tools and deliver them to you upon arrival at your destination.
5. Some airlines provide crib service on board, so we recommend finding out before your trip with the airline of your choice. Remember that traveling with children increases the weight of your luggage; to do this, always have one handy suitcase scale, which you can buy here.
6. Remember that minors must also have their respective seat, unless you are traveling with a newborn baby.
7. Carry an easy-to-carry diaper bag with the necessary items. Make it light and small.
8. Bring the necessary diapers, extra clothes, sterilized bottles, wet tissues, powdered milk and other foods your baby consumes, as well as preventive medicines, such as drops for ear pain, against dizziness, among others.
9. Wherever you go, remember to bring warm clothing for your baby or child. Remember that airplanes, buses, trains, and other means of transport all provide air conditioning. Keeping your child warm can prevent them from catching a cold.
10. If you travel by plane on long journeys, remember that your baby may become dizzy or may have a head or earache from the pressure, so we recommend visiting the pediatrician before the trip and having your doctor tell you what medicines you can give your baby, thus avoiding inconveniences.
11. It is important that you hydrate your baby, giving him plenty of water or fruit juice. Remember that air conditioning is very dry and can cause dehydration.
12. Always carry a mobile device and toys so that your child is distracted and their trip does not become heavy.
