When we traveled back a few weeks ago, I was once again traveling on my own with the kids. So I had purchased a Who’s Shoes Kids ID Kit as a precautionary measure. Of course, no one likes to think about their kids getting lost or being separated from them, but I would rather be on the safe side. So after I put the info. on each of the tags, we went over with the kids what to do if they were to somehow be separated from me.
I also take a few other steps to ensure safety with the kids while we travel:
1. We try and schedule flights so we aren’t tight on time. Running through an airport is an easy way to lose a kid. We always take our time getting on and off the planes too. We aren’t in a rush, so we don’t need to act like it.
2. We use strollers for the younger kids. I try to keep as many kids confined as I can when we travel. And the older ones know they need to touch the stroller as we walk.
3. For bathroom trips, we look for family bathrooms or just all pile into one stall together when we can. No one ever stands on their own.
Please leave any of your safety tips for traveling with kids int eh comments section. Have a great Wednesday!
I haven’t yet, but I am going to order TB a roadid to attach to his shoe or as a bracelet. I can have our phone number on it, as well as his allergy. I use it myself for running (on my shoes) and when I travel (a bracelet).
We also do hand holding is mandatory, though sometimes it is him holding whatever it is I am pulling/pushing, though as he gets older he is allowed more freedom depending on how busy the airport is. Now that he is older, I allow him to go in his own bathroom stall, but I am always faster than he is.
