Traveling with children requires some adjustments. With a little effort you will still be able to enjoy the vacation you always dreamed of, but what issues must you take in consideration when traveling with a baby or toddler?
Transport.
Infants younger than three months you should be transported as little as possible. If you still feel like going on holiday with them, I would recommend a short break near home. From the age of four months to one year, traveling with your baby should be a lot easier. Babies are not conscious of changes in the environment, as long as you remain in their neighborhood.

Aircraft.
Infants normally travel free with their parents on the aircraft. Usually there is no separate reservation needed for them, so they can travel along on one of the parents' laps. Some airlines offer a baby seat or a crib and normally long flights always have this available. Always check in advance if the plane makes any stops. It is disturbing because you have to carry your baby and your luggage, which is always a hassle. For your baby you can usually carry luggage with a weight of 10 kg. If you have a distant flight, consult your doctor before you leave.

He will give you more information about the health of your baby and the necessary vaccinations. Like adults, children and older children, must have the necessary proof of vaccination. Keep this in your hand luggage. Your child can get an earache during the ascent and descent of the aircraft. Give the child a bottle when you feel increased pressure on your ears. The air in an airplane is very dry and babies will drink more than usual. If you are breastfeeding, make sure you also drink more and take powdered milk just in case.
Car.
Always transport your baby in a special car seat. This seat must be approved with an ECE approval. The label number must begin with 03, followed by 44 digits. Always put the seat towards the rear, as well in the front as in the rear seat of your car. Never keep your child on your lap, this is dangerous! The best time to travel with your child or infant is at night. Leave around the time he usually goes to bed. When it is hot in the car, always ensure your baby gets enough to drink. Never leave a sleeping baby unattended in your car!

Always carry a towel or an inflatable mattress with you. This way, you can change your baby's diaper wherever and whenever needed. Also take along a folding bed if you are not sure if the place you are staying has one available. Pack enough clothing, which you can easily add or take off, because the weather and temperatures during your travel could be very varied. Give your child only water that you trust 100%. It is best to choose for bottled water. When it is hot your child will perspire more, so it will need to drink more. If your baby has diarrhea, give him an ORS solution suitable for children.
