Travel with children is a unique opportunity to bond and share moments that will remain in the memories of kids and adults.  Nevertheless, we recognize that it is not always an easy task. Extra care in travel planning, carrying the house on your back, and the 1001 toys that must always be carried behind you are some of the difficulties you will encounter along the way when traveling with children. 

Guerin has some tips that you won't want to miss so that you can travel safely and with peace of mind. 

For youngest, spending a long time in a car can become boring, and consequently restlessness can set in. To avoid this, follow some tips from Guerin for a quiet and fun trip.

15 to 30 minute breaks every two hours of travel are good for you and the children. For you, so you don't feel too exhausted and can continue safely. And for the children, so they can get out of the car, relax their muscles, and regain their energy.  

Comfort is indispensable when traveling by car. The type of clothing you wear should be as practical and lightweight as possible, and this applies to both children and adults.

To create a family atmosphere and to keep the children entertained, take along some of their favorite toys or objects. If this is not enough, the games we will suggest below are also a good solution.

If you travel with children at nap time or choose to travel during the night, quiet is guaranteed. With the young ones asleep, you can enjoy a more restful trip. 

The less positive part of traveling with children is that they can get impatient even after they've eaten their favorite snack or played with everything. The solution for when nothing else works are games that promote family interaction. Pay attention to the little ones, the differences will be noticeable. 

With the license plate numbers in front of you, ask the children to do mathematical calculations. Besides stimulating brain activity it also keeps children entertained.

During the drive, one player chooses a letter and the rest of the players have to sing a song that starts with that letter. The fastest wins a point. The game ends only when everyone has suggested a letter.

More important than keeping children entertained is keeping them safe. On the road, you should always practice safe driving. Nevertheless, when traveling as a family, care should be even greater, before and during the trip. Before you set off, don't forget to:

● Check that you have the proper seats for the little passengers;

● Do a preventive maintenance, in order to detect possible problems with the vehicle;

● Put the first aid bag in the car, so that you always have a band-aid to put on that wound that magically appears.
