Spring break is around the corner and suddenly the Go-Go’s “Vacation” hits a little different. When you became a parent, you quickly learned that “break” doesn’t mean break for you—it means a whole lot of juggling like traveling with tiny humans and keeping them entertained. Like all things parenting, it’s a dance, but we’ve got tips to help you feel more like “you got this” (because you do) and less like you have two left feet. |

"The loud noises of airplanes and trains can make it really tough to soothe your first-time traveller. Remember, well-rested kids have an easier time self-regulating when things get noisy. Try packing little ear covers, a portable white noise machine or a fidget puzzle to distract your child from the unfamiliar sounds of travel. "

Q: It’s our first time traveling with two under 2… any hacks to make sure we still enjoy our vacation? |
A: Traveling with two under two may not sound like a vacation—but with a little planning and a lot of flexibility, you can make it enjoyable. Here’s a few go-to tips: snacks on hand (always), loose routines, and letting go of perfection in favor of making memories—even the messy ones. |
Q: We're headed to a new city for Spring Break—how do I keep my kids off their devices all day? |
A: When traveling somewhere that doesn’t have an agenda built in for you, it can feel overwhelming to fill in the schedule yourself. Start by asking your kids what they want to do and let them each have a day where they make the plans. This relieves yourself of the pressure to make everything perfect. Plus, you can’t take the blame if something isn’t as fun as a Google review made it sound.
