  • Travel tips
    - Be sure to allow plenty of time for check-in; remember how much longer it takes to achieve anything with young kids in tow and apply the same formula to your travel plans.
    - Look out for fast track customs and immigration check points for those traveling with infants.
    - Bring along plenty of food and snacks and buy water before getting on the plane. Disposable bibs are a great idea for infant mealtimes when traveling.
    - Take a harness or reins for a toddler so that they can walk around but still be close at hand – they are perfect for using at the hotel too.
    - Dress your infants in comfortable clothes and bring along a change of clothes for the flight. Darker colors hide stains!
    - When heading to the beach or pool, put sunscreen on your little ones before leaving your room to save time.
    - Create a play space in your room by keep all the playthings in one corner – this will help make the room more homey.
    - Pack a small first-aid kit with all the essentials such as band aids, children's Tylenol and a digital thermometer.
