In this revised and updated edition of her popular travel handbook, Vicki Lansky shares her own practical ideas and the experiences of other parents on how best to plan and enjoy a trip with the kids, from newborns to toddlers to bored grade-school age children. Covering travel by car, plane, train, boat, and bus (for both domestic and international trips), she explains how to plan around children's ages and stages, including bringing the right toys, books, and other playthings; fly right - with tips on what time of day to schedule the flights and where to sit; choose appropriate hotels, motels, and restaurants (plus, how to improvise a bed for sleepy babies just about anywhere); and prepare in advance for comfort and safety, prevent medical emergencies away from home, and deal with problems if they do occur.The book discusses what to pack and what to leave behind: products and services that make traveling with children easier; what to know when children travel alone; entertaining travel games; and trips abroad, from metric diapers to baby jet lag. In addition, it lists dozens of resources and references: travel agencies that specialize in families; addresses and phone numbers for children's museums and national parks; where to see dinosaurs; online resources; and special tips on surviving Disneyland.
