Safety tip for traveling with toddlers
When traveling during the hoidays consider “labeling” your toddler with an ID bracelet. Some airlines advise this just in case your child gets lost in airport crowds. Include your child’s name, your name, your destination and your home address and phone number.

Travel tip
When traveling, pack a cooler that sits in the backseat with you, but out of reach of your toddler.

Car seats and air travel
For air travel, consider buying or borrowing the car seat that converts into a stroller and fits down the plane aisles.
It is easier to get around the airport without carrying the kid; with no need to wake a sleeper when you land. They are FAA approved and actually fits in the airplane seat.

Plan frequent stops
If your journey is longer than 3 hours, plan to stop every two hours… even if it’s only for a 10-minute potty break.

Traveling with youngsters in diapers
When traveling by plane, bring a lot more diapers /pull ups/ snacks than you think you’ll ever need.
Pack 3x as much as expected. The extras don’t take up too much space and you would be disgusted at the limited food options available either on a plane or at an airport.

Never forget your snacks again
Pack all the food for tomorrow’s outing and put it in a large bag in the refrigerator.
Then put your car keys on top of the bag so there’s no way you can leave the house and forget the food.

the magic of car toys
Pick out a few interesting toys and books just for the car: I found that I could defuse the tantrum that inevitably occurred when my toddler realized that he was about to be strapped into a car seat by strategically offering him a toy or book he didn’t get to see all that often.

Planned outings and attention spans
Too many parents plan outings without regard for the constrained attention span of a toddler. A trip that lasts under an hour, including travel time, works best.From: Grasshopper New Media

Keep trips short and sweet
Staying inside all day is a bad, bad idea with this age group and will make time slow until it more or less screeches to a halt.From: Grasshopper New Media

Toddler airport safety tip.
Carry a current photo of each child you are traveling with.
If your child does get separated from you, you can immediately hand the photo to security at the airport (or theme park or mall) and they will photocopy it and circulate it very quickly.
