Travelling can throw up all sorts of different scenarios. From planning itineraries, flight delays and navigating unfamiliar destinations, throw a toddler or a young child into the mix, then you have a whole different ball game.
So many parents ask me is it possible to ever go away with a toddler and enjoy it. As much as I would like to answer yes, the reality is, yes… but with a few caveats. As long as you have the right mindset, get yourselves organised and pack the right items, then travelling with toddlers can be a wonderful experience.
Have you ever worried about flying long-haul with a toddler who cannot sit still for more than two minutes, or taking a child out to dinner who will refuse to eat anything that isn’t beige? Perhaps you’ve been put off travelling anywhere with a toddler because you believe it will be too much hassle.

I’ve had to deal with fussy eaters abroad, toddlers who refuse to go to sleep, mammoth road trips across distant lands when my kids have been potty training. I’ve made tons and tons of mistakes so you don’t have to!
In this epic guide to travelling with a toddler, I share my tips from helpful products that will make life easier to ideas on how to handle tantrums and bored kids. There’s even some advice from other bloggers who have also lived through the stress of travelling with toddlers. Plus, some recommendations on how to try and manage expectations when it comes to routines and flexibility.

Chapters throughout the FREE ebook are broken down to simple-to-follow information, much like a ‘travelling with a toddler checklist‘.

I hope I’ve covered every scenario – having been travelling with my toddlers over the past nine years from South Africa and Iceland to Thailand and Europe, I do know the dreaded fear that comes attached with taking toddlers away.
