It’s true that traveling with a toddler can be challenging from time to time But planned right it’s very rewarding; it’s a vacation at a slower pace, new friends (because toddlers open up to conversations with everybody) and new discoveries To avoid the challenging part of it, here’re some words of advice: 
 
Planning
The secret behind a successful vacation with toddlers in tow is actually simple Just remember these two things; planning and tailoring the trip according to the youngest in your traveling party
One-destination vacations are usually the most successful with toddlers
Perhaps there’s a lot you want to see and experience at the vacation spot and surroundings, but the chances are that your toddler doesn’t It may sound like a bit of a downer to say “keep expectations low and patience high” when traveling with the little ones But on the other hand; rest, slow pace, one activity per day and some more rest is great for both toddlers and grown-ups 
 
Packing
Bring along some favorite toys Encourage every kid over two years old to pack their own backpack with some toys, books, colored pencils, paper, coloring book and stickers
 
Flying
Don’t pre-board! You will probably be offered to do that, and it might seem like a good idea It’s not Stay in the lounge at the gate where the kids can 
move for as long as possible
Don’t expect meals, pack your own Stay away from sugar at all times!
Dress for the occasion Meaning, comfortably In dark colors
Windows in all honor, but that’s a grown-up’s fascination If you’re lucky it will keep your toddler occupied for a couple of minutes The aisle rules when traveling with a toddler You’ll probably spend most time walking back and forth, or around with your toddler
Don’t forget to pack a change of clothes for your child and some diapers
 
Driving
Make frequent short stops Try to cover some distance when the toddler takes a nap
 
Are we there yet? Yes
When checking in to the hotel room, see to it that all the heavy objects are secured
Check the safety on the rented equipment like beds and high chairs Standards differ between countries
Two to five year-olds should stay out of the whirl pool or hot tub
Use swimwear that is leakage proofed… Like a Libero swim pant
Limit the chaos! Routines are great even though you’re on vacation Snacks, naps, and bedtimes could be like at home
Pick the room with a refrigerator or kitchenette if possible; you become less dependent on having to find hot water, microwaves, opening hours and restaurants
 
What to do
As a rule of thumb many recommend one or two activities per day That’s what a toddler between two and five years of age can really appreciate
Children between the ages of 1 and 3 love visiting children’s museums and places with outdoor activities like zoos with domestic animals that can be patted, visiting farms, picking fruits etc Because kids around this age  like exploring, touching and doing things
If you go to more grownup museums, try the scavenger hunt approach; encourage your toddler to find animals, food, etc on the paintings
