Let's ride together: how to ensure a comfortable journey for a child

Our beloved and dear to everyone's holiday - New Year is not far off. Surely, many have planned for the New Year holidays to go somewhere with the whole family, someone to relatives in a neighboring city, someone to another country altogether. Some travel by land, others by air, and still others, perhaps by water. All this is undoubtedly beautiful and pleasant, but if you are taking a child on a trip, you should take your trip seriously.

The most important thing on the road

To make your child feel comfortable, take his favorite toy with you, it will remind him of home and what is connected with it.

If you are still a little mommy, then you yourself probably know what you need to take with you:

If the child is afraid to fly

Be a psychologist in all situations. If your child is afraid of flying on a plane, try to explain to him that this is not for long, and when you land, tell us what unforgettable adventures and new discoveries will await you. Promise to go wherever he wants, perhaps it will be a circus or a zoo, but be sure to keep your promise, because children remember everything that their parents promise them, and they certainly look forward to this accomplishment.

Be a psychologist

In any case, be always close to your child, so it will be safer for him to postpone the trip. Talk to him, play some game, for example, "Cities". If your kid is still of kindergarten age, then it is best to take something new with you, because he is probably already pretty tired of your home toys, and the new game will arouse great interest and captivate him for the whole trip. It can be an educational game or a children's puzzle, an educational book that reproduces the sounds of animals, letters or numbers.

Check your child's rights and regulations

Be sure to familiarize yourself with the rules for transporting children on a particular vehicle before any trip. Also, when buying tickets, inquire in advance about their cost, depending on the age of the child.

If you travel by plane, when buying a ticket at the ticket office, inquire about the possibilities and additional services of the airline you are flying. It is advisable to do this 36 hours before departure. Many airlines provide services such as separate baby food, the ability to use a stroller to the plane, and the provision of a baby bassinet in flight. Most importantly, find out in advance about the capabilities of your airline.

Do not forget to also take all the necessary documents for your child, this is mainly a birth certificate, a policy of compulsory health insurance, and if the child is not taken abroad by parents, you need a notarized consent of one of the parents, in accordance with the law.

If you are going to travel by car, then by all means it must be equipped with a child car seat or infant car seat, it is important that when driving the child must be fastened with seat belts. Remember that the safety of your children comes first. After all, if something happens, you cannot forgive yourself for it. All in your hands.

Be knowledgeable in the legal field, know your rights and obligations when transporting your children by any means of transport.

The most important thing is to think over your trip to the smallest detail, pack your things in advance, check that you have all the necessary documents so that there are no problems that will leave a negative imprint on the whole trip. And then any road, be it short or long, will seem easy and invisible to you and your child.

Let your way to the place of rest and back bring you and your child only positive and pleasant emotions.

Travel with children with pleasure!
