1. Choose A Kid-Friendly Destination If you think a hiking trail in the middle of nowhere is what counts as a vacation, think again. And think again as a parent. A beach is a safe bet for kids. The sand and waves offer an unbeatable combination of fun elements for adults and kids alike. But the key thing to remember is what will generate excitement in your child? Do they like wildlife? Then a jungle safari can be an exciting time. Do they enjoy water sports? Then plan for a place that has plenty of adventure sports to offer.

2. Have It All Planned An impromptu Ladakh trip on a bike with your buddies is nothing like a family trip. And neither is your bestie’s bachelorette in Goa. Right from choosing the holiday spot to what you will be doing to the logistics involved while travelling to and fro are just a few things you need to plan for. Pre-book as much as you can to avoid a mess.

3. Pack Smart You may be able to survive on 3 pairs of briefs all week while on vacation, but your baby can’t. Just open up your child’s wardrobe and you will find it full of stuff. So does that mean you need to bring 10 bags? The answer is no, just pack smart. Create a list of essentials, choose versatile clothing items and leave room for last-minute add-ons.

4. Travel Wisely Hopping on a plane across the continent or piling up in the car for a road trip? Kids get restless with long lay-overs and non-stop travel. So when booking a flight or setting up a travel schedule, pick what works best for your kid. And if you’re travelling by air, make sure to get to the airport well in advance. If your road trip is a long journey, then try choosing routes and options that will allow you to take those much-needed breaks.

5. Do A Food Check Kids are fussy eaters. The best way to make sure you don’t end up with a hangry child is to research the food options beforehand. If your destination is an exotic island that is famous for delicious local cuisine, make sure you enquire about kid-friendly foods. French fries, mashed potatoes, chicken nuggets, fruits and cereal can work in a pinch so keep them handy or have the hotel pack your child a lunch bag.
