Everything You Need to Know About Vacation with Children

Going on vacation with a husband or wife and going on vacation with children are two different things. In the second case, the level of responsibility grows exponentially, so it is especially important to prepare for a trip to another country with children. Here are some recommendations on how to prepare for the trip and not forget the main thing. Read and memorize! 

Think over all the details before the trip, write down the travel program

It is very important to understand the living conditions of the people of the country you plan to travel to. Plan in advance the program of your trip, find on maps places of first necessity and means of transportation around the cities. Of the most important places, be sure to find out where catering places, pharmacies and hospitals are located. Speaking about vehicles, always keep in mind that one of the most popular travel vehicles today is a car hire They will not only save you time instead of a long-way public transport, but also create comfortable conditions for your movement. And in UAE you can find not only comfortable, but also luxurious cars for rent. For example, you can rent Ferrari Dubai. Rental car providers strive to offer the best possible driving experience. And in Dubai, car rentals will surprise you not only with its comfort and appearance but also with an incredibly low price for it. 

You should also keep in mind that some countries require you to obtain documents before you can visit. For example, the ESTA website states that even children need to obtain a visa waiver if they want to travel to the United States. Similar things exist for other countries, especially those that require a visa. It’s a good idea to research these restrictions and then apply for the documentation well in advance. This will give you plenty of time to receive the documents, and you’ll be ready to travel, speeding up your visa process.

Clothes for aggressive sun

There is an opinion that in the heat it is necessary to wear white clothes in order to reflect the sun’s rays. However, this is not quite true. White and bright yellow clothing transmits more UV light than bright red or dark blue clothing. In hot countries with an aggressive sun, it is advisable to take clothes with an ultraviolet filter UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor). It absorbs and neutralizes the sun’s rays, successfully removes moisture if the child is sweating, and dries quickly. A baby needs clothes with a UPF 50 label. The fabric from which these things are sewn is 12.5 times more protective than cotton.

If you can’t buy UV-blocking clothing, you should opt for tightly woven fabrics. The protection in such tissues is higher. It is definitely better not to wear black clothes: it successfully reflects ultraviolet rays, but heats up faster.

Toiletries

Be sure to take

• baby shampoo,
• baby soap,
• toothbrush,
• toothpaste;
• diapers (for children under 2 years old);
• special diaper panties that do not absorb water
• hypoallergenic baby wipes;
• rounded nail scissors (children’s nails grow very quickly)

For a child from six months to six years old, you can take special fingertips for cleaning your teeth and mouth. They are convenient to use even on board the aircraft.

Sun and insect repellents

All you need is baby sunscreen. For a fair-haired and white-skinned child, a remedy with protection 50+ is suitable, for a dark-haired and dark-eyed child – 20+ or 35+. The child needs their own sunglasses marked “4” or “UV 400” on the label. They will avoid burns of the retina and cornea, as well as eye diseases in the future.

Swimming accessories

A very important point for safety. The choice of swimming accessories depends on the preferences of the child. The list can include a swim ring, arm sleeves, an air mattress, children’s swimming goggles and a diving mask.

There are even swimming circles for babies as young as 1-2 months who have just begun to hold their heads up. These circles are put on the baby’s neck.

These are the main points of what you need for your trip with children. Don’t forget about the first aid kit! This is an individual thing, collect personally for yourself and your child. Happy travels and have a great vacation!
