Top 5 Toddler Travel Tips
Pack strategically, not excessively
Focus on essentials and items that serve multiple purposes. Remember you can buy diapers and wipes at your destination.
Maintain some routine, even on vacation
Keep nap times and bedtimes somewhat consistent to prevent overtired meltdowns and ensure everyone enjoys the trip.
Bring novel toys and activities
Pack small, new toys or activities to reveal at strategic moments when distraction is needed most.
Plan for downtime
Don't overschedule. Toddlers need breaks, and a rested toddler makes for a more pleasant travel experience.
Adjust your expectations
Travel with toddlers is different, not worse. Embrace the slower pace and see the world through their eyes.

Jessica M.
Mom of 2-year-old twins
"We were terrified about flying with our twins, but preparation made all the difference. We packed a 'surprise bag' with new toys wrapped like presents and revealed one every hour. The novelty kept them engaged, and the flight attendants were incredibly helpful!"

Dad of a 3-year-old
"Our road trip across three states taught us that less is more. Instead of trying to see everything, we focused on one main activity per day with plenty of pool time at the hotel. Our daughter still talks about that trip as her favorite vacation."
