As domestic and international travel resumes, you may be considering a family holiday. Don’t let the idea of travelling with kids stress you out! We've been through it all with babies, toddlers and school-aged kids, so we're here to share our top tips to help you enjoy your next family getaway. From the essentials of packing to in-flight entertainment, you'll find useful advice whether you're planning an overseas family adventure, a road trip in Australia, or just a weekend getaway. Keep reading for our helpful tips to make your family holiday unforgettable!
As avid travellers ourselves, we have a lot of experience when it comes to family-friendly destinations. Some of our favourites include Cook Islands, Hawaii, Costa Rica, New Zealand, Singapore and, of course, Australia. We look for places that offer comfortable living conditions, cleanliness and good access to amenities. Pre-kids we enjoyed visiting far-flung places and big cities, but we’ve since learned that these are not so fun with little humans. We recommend opting for destinations that are a little more accessible and laidback when travelling with kids.
Packing for a trip can be stressful, especially when you have kids. But there are a few things you can do to make it easier. First, make a list of everything you’ll need to pack. This helps you keep track of everything and make sure you don't forget anything important. Second, pack ahead of time. This gives you time to organize everything and make sure it all fits in your suitcase. Lastly, don't overpack! With many carriers now enforcing strict weight limits for luggage, it makes sense to pack lightly and avoid the hefty fees. Only pack the essentials and leave some extra space in your suitcase for souvenirs.
Now that you have your bags packed, it's time to think about entertainment for your kids. If you’re travelling by car, bring along a tray table and some travel games or reusable colouring mats. These will keep kids occupied for hours. Our son’s favourite is the Outer Space colouring mat while our daughter loves her Spellbound set with its dreamy unicorns and fairies.
If you’re flying, it’s worth packing a couple of books. These compact colouring sets are also perfect to pop in your handbag or carry-on luggage. And don't forget the snacks! Kids are always hungry so pack some healthy snacks and drinks to keep the ‘hangry’ outbursts at bay.
