My Kid's Travel Bag

My Kid's Travel Bag

We all usually travel one place to another place due to various reasons. It can be due to health reasons, jobs, celebrations, and enjoyment. This travel can be of a short time of a few hours or a long time of more than one day.

Most of the people travel with their family members for entertainment or to meet their relatives or friends or any trip/ tour. During packing, most of the persons forget to bring important things and in the way, they feel bad to remember these items. Some of them get a chance to purchase these things in the way. But what about those who couldn't buy these items due to long-distance or extra charges. Youngsters and Elder persons can manage without few items. But, if we travel with our family, then maybe our kids can't manage. So, we have to carry all the important things that children may ever need. Make a list of these items and re-check double time before moving for your destination.

Items Keep in your bag for your kid during travel

1. Water Bottle

A water bottle is the first and important item of your kid's travel bag, whether you go for a few hours distance or for a long journey. It doesn't matter you use public transport or your personal vehicle. Because in the way, suddenly your child's throat can be dry or he feels suffocation. If you travel in your personal vehicle like a car. You can carry more than one water bottle, but one bottle must be in your bag. Because you have to move somewhere during travel, which can be so far from your vehicle and you or your kid needs an urgent requirement of water.

if your kid is under the age of 2, then also carry his milk bottle. 

If he drinks water in a separate bottle then also bring it. Because small kids love their bottles. They only take their meal through it. So, don't forget to put it in his travel bag.

2. Medicines 

If your kid has any medical problem, then don't forget to bring his medicines. Always brings more than one dose of medicine. Maybe during travel, you could be unable to get the same medicines. Also, write the name of these medicines on paper or feed in your mobile phones just on the account of medicines misplace somewhere during travel.

I suggest you can also bring a small medical box including first aid medicines as paracetamol, few banded, cotton, Dettol and balm. In case of any injury or illness can be happened in the way. 

3. Mask

I think no need to recall someone to carry a mask during travel. Still, you have to carry more than one mask, especially for your kids. Kids are not habitual to use a mask or might be feel suffocated soon. So they can put the mask anywhere. If you carry the extra masks then you don't need to worry about your kid's safety.

4. Sanitizers

After masks, Sanitizers become a basic need of our's day to day life. Don't forget to put it in your kid's bag. During the journey, you or your kids can come in contact with some objects or persons, who can influenced by germs. For the safety of you and your kids, you have to put a sanitizer in your bag and use it after an interval or when needed as at the time of eating or touch your face.

5. Dry Fruits

Dry fruits give the power to control the hunger for a long time as well as healthy for mental as physical growth. You have to carry dry fruits like almonds, raisins, and nuts in a good quantity. Children can't control hunger. If you want your kids don't disturb you again and again due to hunger then bring dry fruits with them and give in a small quantity after some time. You can give some amount to your kids before start traveling. So that they can hold their hunger. 

6. Snacks

You must put 2 or 3 packets of different types of snacks in your kid's travel bag. As we all know, kids like to eat different types of snacks. They can be rigid in the way due to any reason. At that time, you can serve snacks and their rigidity turning into happiness. 

7. Hanky/cotton cloth/ towel

When you travel with your kids, you must keep this thing in mind that kids can get dirty hands, face, or any other part of the body while performing tricks and enjoying food or vomit. You have to put 2 to 3 hankies or a big cotton cloth/towel. So that you can clean your kid immediately. 

8.Toys

Most of the kids love their toys. Every kid has their favorite toy. You have to carry in his travel bag. So that he can enjoy during travel. Otherwise, his mind will keep in his toy that you forgot to carry. It will also prove good for you because your kid will become busy with his toy and he will not disturb you.

Don't carry a bunch of toys. Just carry one to two toys(only light weighted). Otherwise, your kid's travel bag becomes heavy and it will difficult to carry.

9. Diapers

If your kid is under the age of 3. Keep extra diapers (depends on your travel time). During travel, your kid becomes ill or feel bad due to travel. So you need to suddenly change his diaper. If you carry extra diapers, then you can travel without any tension.

Never carry only one extra diaper with you. Always carry a minimum of 4 to 5 diapers, Even you travel for a short distance.

10. Dry Milk/ Milk powder

Liquid milk gets spoiled due to humidity and you can't preserve it for a long time. Always carry milk powder while you travel with your kid, especially under the age of 3. Because most of the kids, who are under the age of 3, ignore eating during travel. So you need to give liquids most probably milk.

So if you carry dry milk with you, then you can easily take care of your kid's health during your journey.

You can give milk powder to the kids above the age of 3. Even you can also use it for yourself in the case of urgency. 

11. Spare Dresses

Always keep 2 to 3 spare dresses of your kids in a travel bag. So that in the case of emergency, if your kid spoils his dress. You can easily change it. Especially, in the case of you go for any marriage or party. 

12. Bowl/Glass/Spoon

Always keep a bowl, spoon, and few disposable glasses in the bag. During tremors, these vessels help your kids to eat or drink safely instead of eating with hands or drink liquids in bottles or canes.

              

Some of the parents will say that we usually travel by air. Then why we need to carry all these things?

Let's take an example: If you live in Ambala and you go for summer vacations with your family in Mumbai by air. 

If you start your travel from Ambala, then you don't get the direct flight from there. You have to reach Delhi Airport. After that, you will enjoy your Air travel. When you reach Mumbai, then you will hire a taxi/cab to arrive at your hotel.

Then during the travel from Ambala to Delhi Airport and Mumbai Airport to Hotel, your kid may need the above things.

Keep Smiling.........Happy Journey.......
