Top Resources for Traveling with Kids

7/27/07 - By Anna Fader
I've actually been surprised at how hard it has been to find good resources for traveling with kids. As we were planning our family vacation for this summer, I was looking around online and found very few good sites for planning trips with kids. After scouring the web, here are the best resources I've found for traveling with kids:

Sheila Scarborough is a professional travel writer who keeps a family travel blog with lots of great info for travel around the US and abroad.About.com has a travel with kids site with lots of articles about family travel in the US and Europe written by their resident expert. A good place to start. If you are traveling to Europe with kids, Kids Europe is one of the best resources I have found. It has many articles about things to do in different destinations and you can subscribe to an email newsletter on family travel. In addition, they sell Kids Europe Discovery Journals for different European destinations that teach kids about the local culture and keep them occupied with customized games and activities to help make that endless stream of churches a little more palatable to little ones. Moms Mini Van is an excellent site with lots of ideas of how to make traveling in the car with kids easier for those long family road trips. Car game ideas, free printables, tips for car sickness and more. Family Fun Magazine is a Disney publication, but they often have interesting ideas for family travel all over the US, which you can read about on their website. My blog friends over at RookieMoms have a fun string of A Week in... posts. Each one is written by local mom and gives you an itinerary of stuff to do with a baby for every day of the week. If you're not planning on traveling, check out the Mommy Poppins entry, A Week in New York. Do you have any good resources for traveling with kids?
