Are you dreading traveling with your kids over the holidays? We asked our Mom Creator Facebook group about their best tips and tricks for traveling with kids and we can’t wait to share them with you! Here are a few of their tips! Mom Creators check out the content creation tips in bold!
Boredom Busters
This set of activity ideas can come in handy no matter where you are and your method of travel. Stuck in the airport, stuck in traffic, these ideas will fill your time with fun and joy! For those traveling by car, try this tip from Mom Creator Bhavana Aggarwal: “Having them run around in parks is a great way to get all that energy out.” Content Creation Tip: share each family member’s favorite activity card and then share the link in your IG stories for affiliate sales. Or show a review of a park you discovered on a road trip for others passing through the area!
Travel-Ready Gear
Having the right gear in tow can make traveling with kids a lot easier. While having travel-friendly gear can’t fix a flight delay or the turkey needing a few more hours to cook, it can help you create the perfect naptime while you wait. An easy-to-carry travel crib like the Lotus Everywhere Travel crib, a great sound machine, and a SlumberPod can make naptime anywhere, even in a bustling airport. Content Creation Tip: show your top 3-5 travel essentials in a round-up style, then each one more in-depth for multiple pieces of content.
All. The. Snacks.
If there is one single essential when traveling with kids, our Mom Creators agree that it’s snacks! A hangry baby or toddler is not something you want to encounter on top of travel stress. Mom Creator and double twin mom Abby Ludwig shares that her travel tip for snack storage is, “using the bead/string storage containers as snack containers for each of my kids.” Some of our other favorite products for hauling snacks around include the Boon Snug universal silicone lid cover, the Munchkin Snack Catcher, these Stackable Snack Containers, and this Snackle Box. Content Creation tip: Create a “Pass or Smash” snack video about the snacks you pack and how your kids like them.
Pack Smart
Traveling by plane certainly limits you on how many bags you can bring. And it might make more sense to combine into a few large suricates. However, when you combine multiple kids into one bag, it can be tough to keep each child’s stuff organized. Packing cubes are a great way to fix this issue! When we asked for travel hacks and tips, Mom Creator Danila Davidson wrote, “Packing cubes. A cube for each child/traveler.” Or maybe it makes sense to, “pack in packing cubes for each day”, like Mom Creator Caitlin Harvey. Another tip came from Haley Simao suggests, “packing clothes, diapers, little things in an over-the-door shoe organizer. Roll it up and stick in a suitcase. When I get to our destination I hang it on the door. Each pocket has an outfit: top, bottom, socks, and undies. I can easily grab swim diapers, bandaids, toothbrushes, medicine!” Grab one here! Here’s a Content Creation idea. Try creating a timelapse while packing with a voiceover. Share what you have learned about traveling with kids so far as a parent.
