Traveling with toddlers can be an adventure in itself – full of excitement and opportunities to create lasting memories. But it’s important to have the right travel gear to make sure everyone stays comfortable and happy no matter where you’re flying. It’s a great first step in raising confident kids.

Here are five tips to help you and your little one enjoy the journey as much as the destination.

Tip 1: Spark their love for travel with their own adventure bag

There’s no better time to help foster your kids’ love for travel than when they’re young. Exploring new places, embracing different cultures, and trying new foods are some of life’s most exciting experiences! And giving them a little responsibility along the way can help nurture that sense of adventure. The Stokke® JetKids™ BackPack is ideal for this.

The perfect travel buddy for your little one, it lets them carry their own essentials and feel like they’re an important part of the journey. It not only keeps your toddler entertained but also builds excitement for discovering new places, creating family memories, and a lifelong love for travel.

Tip 2: Turn airports into a world of discovery

Airports are full of wonder for your little one – it’s where the adventure begins! From the planes outside the windows to the bustling shops, there’s so much for them to explore. Their curiosity has a chance to take flight as they navigate the terminals, and it’s a great opportunity to let them burn off some energy before the flight.

With Stokke® JetKids™ roll-on luggage, airport time becomes playtime. Your little adventurer can pull their airline approved roll-on luggage around with a sense of independence, and when their legs get tired, they can hop on and ride through the airport in style.

Tip 3: Sweet dreams at 35,000 feet

A well-rested child is a happy traveler, and nothing makes the journey smoother than knowing your little one can be comfortable and keep their sleep schedule. Long-haul flights are the perfect time for your kids to catch some shut eye, but everyone knows that the seats aren’t always the most comfortable.

Stokke® JetKids™ BedBox™ transforms any standard airplane seat into a cozy bed, creating the perfect place for your little one to drift off. And once they’re asleep, you’ll have plenty of time to relax too.

Tip 4: Make travel effortless with the right stroller

When you’re flying with kids, every moment counts, especially in busy airports. A travel stroller helps you move easily through bustling terminals, particularly if you’re rushing between gates. Not only does it give your kid a comfortable seat, it also provides them with a familiar place to nap during long layovers.

Strollers like Stokke® YOYO® make your travel experience easier with their lightweight designs. You can fold and unfold the Stokke® YOYO® stroller in a flash, easily carry it over your shoulder, and even bring it onto the plane as cabin baggage (be sure to check airline restrictions beforehand).

Tip 5: Bring comfort with you wherever you go

Comfort is key when you’re flying with kids, even when you reach your destination! After days full of excitement, your children need a comfortable place where they can rest and recharge. No matter where you are in the world, Stokke® JetKids™ CloudSleeper™ offers a familiar, cozy bed for your little adventurer. It’s compact enough to pack into your luggage while providing the comfort of home. Knowing that they are sleeping well means you can rest too, ready for the next day of discovery.

Traveling with kids is about more than just getting from one place to another. It’s about enjoying the moments in between, exploring new places together, and making the journey just as special as the destination. So, pack up, set off, and create some beautiful memories on your next unforgettable adventure.
