When traveling with an infant, I would recommend the sleep train (in my opinion the hold with love method is the best). With this, you’re creating a sleep-time routine and have more control with your child, which is very important, especially during flights. 🙂

I think that your mentioning here a guide how to teach a baby to fall asleep by susan urban from parental-lovecom? I can confirm that this is a proven method. I didn’t think though that it can be helpful in traveling, but good to know about this 🙂

I also used this one! And I can tell it do help when we travel – she can fall asleep like anywhere since the training! Susan’s method was super helpful.

I found this to be the most informative site I’ve ever read. I love the Ergobaby 360 it’s durable and affordable. Its best baby carriers for me so far and I’m happy with its quality.

If you’re looking for some entertainment, which works in any conditions, you should start to play chess with your kids. It’s the best thing you can do together, not only during family trips. Chess is the best game, because you can make it a one minut game as well, as full time one, and it’s impossible to get bored by it. So many possibilities, different situations, and you don’t always need to play all the game or need someone to play with. You can always focus on solwing the chess problems. I can recommend a very good and briliant book, that can bring you a lot of fun. It’s alll about chess. The rules of chess are very simple and children can learn them already from around the age of three. Not everyone can or wants to become a professional chess player but everyone can use chess for learning. For this purpous I can recommend a book (net-boss.org/chess-puzzles-for-kids-by-maksim-aksanov) with bunch of great exercises, which will help you and your kids to be better in this 🙂

I’m a HUGE fan of sharing the itinerary with your kids! My daughter is more comfortable knowing what’s next and I’m happy to provide that to make for a smoother trip.
I also saw in another post the suggestion to leave parts of every day unplanned. It’s my personal tendency to pack every minute with activity (after all, you’re only in that location once!) but I’ve come to realize my daughter really appreciates downtime at the hotel in between activities…or even getting back to the hotel early to draw and relax before bed! It makes a huge difference in her temperament the next day.
