Having a small child doesn't mean that you have to give up your vacation and spend several years at home. You can go on a trip with a three-year-old toddler, just know that he is unlikely to remember a joint vacation, so it is not worth going to large amusement parks just for his sake.
Features of planning a vacation with a three-year-old child
Going on vacation with a baby, you need to remember about such a phenomenon as the crisis of the third year. There is a great risk that the child will start to be capricious, nervous, do something in spite of the parents and even behave in a markedly inappropriate manner. You must be prepared for all this. You need to start working with the child in advance, try to explain and instill in him the rules of behavior in a cafe, plane, train. It is equally important to find things that can quickly distract and calm your baby. If you don't do this beforehand, your vacation can be ruined by children's whims.
Remember that three-year-olds endure dramatic climate changes with much more difficulty than older children and even more so adults. Choose a country in which the child will not have to endure long-term difficult acclimatization. It's good if the weather in the city where you are going is very similar to your usual one.
Be sure to book rooms at the children's hotel. A three-year-old child cannot be ignored, otherwise, for most of the vacation, you will only think about how to entertain him and avoid tantrums in public places. In a good children's hotel, you will be offered a comfortable bed for the baby, a playground, babysitting services, with which the child can be left not only for a couple of hours, but for the whole day. Moreover, in some cases, a special recreation program is provided, including morning exercises for children, swimming lessons, massage for toddlers, special games, contests and much more.
Comfortable vacation with a child
Think about what you are going to ride. If we are talking about a holiday in a distant country, most likely, you will have to choose a plane. It is very important that you do not have to fly with a stopover. It is also advisable not to choose long flights - this is tiresome for a three-year-old child. If you have chosen a train, be sure to prepare more things with which you will entertain your child on the way. The same goes for traveling by car. But it is better to refuse to travel by bus altogether, since the child will surely face serious discomfort on the way.
Take a set of essentials on vacation. It is better to forget clothes, swimwear and fins than to leave a first aid kit or clothes for your baby at home. Pay special attention to the issue of catering: children at the age of three often like to have a snack, which means that you should have food with you that will not spoil on the way, and the hotel must certainly have a cafe where you can order food for a small child at any time …
