Travelling with kids
FIVE WAYS TO MAKE TRAVELLING WITH KIDS EASIER Make sure you have plenty to keep the kids entertained.
At times, travelling with kids can be challenging, especially throughout an extended road trip. However, there are ways to make the trip much more enjoyable for mum, dad, and the little ones. 1. Pack a lot of games The biggest rule of travelling with children is to pack a lot of games and activities. This will keep them amused and distracted plus give you some down time, or allow you to navigate or drive with ease. 2. Bring travel-safe snacks You want to ensure your road trip snacks are simple, healthy and hydrating. Avoid chocolate as it melts and is full of sugar. Crackers can crush easily and cause a real mess. 3. Map it out A little bit of prep can go a long way. Map out your journey or hire a GPS so you don’t get lost. You can also engage with your children by getting them to pick out some things they’d like to see along the way. 4. Sort out the seats If you’re travelling with a toddler and hiring a car, you’ll need to ensure they are strapped in safely. Thrifty can provide both forwardand rear-facing baby seats, as well as booster seats, and is able to assist with installation. 5. Consider driving overnight If you have a long journey ahead or are driving interstate, an overnight drive might be just the way to go. You and your partner can take shifts driving while the kids sleep.
Thrifty can happily assist you with most of the equipment you’ll need for a family road trip, including a GPS, stroller, and prepaid fuel so that you can focus on the fun times.
