Toddler On A Trip

💡 Pro Tips from Our Adventures

Real strategies that work for our family - tested on every trip with Ayaansh!

🏠

Kitchenette is Key

We always book Airbnbs or hotels with kitchenettes. Perfect for tired days when you can't find restaurants or when Ayaansh craves Indian food!

🎨

Entertainment Arsenal

Colors, blank papers, and activity books are lifesavers - during free time, meal times, and especially on flights. Ayaansh stays engaged for hours!

✈️

Flight Survival Kit

Pack snacks, toys, and comfort items. We always carry nuts and dry fruit bars for those hangry moments. Ayaansh's favorite: sticker books and small cars!

🍽️

Meal Flexibility

Having a kitchenette means we can cook familiar meals when needed, plus it's great for preparing snacks and quick breakfasts.

💡

Parent Sanity Saver

When you're exhausted from sightseeing or dealing with jet lag, being able to cook a simple meal in your room is a game-changer!

🧳

Packing Strategy

We always pack extra clothes, comfort items, and nuts with dry fruit bars for those hangry moments between meals. Comfort items help with sleep and transitions!
