Addresses some of the most common issues parents face when traveling with a child, such as car sickness and diaper changing with no changing table, while providing helpful hints on how to avoid... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Even before our daughter was born, my wife and I were concerned; we love to travel, but how to do it with a baby (who would eventually become a toddler and so on.) This book gave us invaluable advice; get the baby into your lifestye at a young age. We take long weekends, and drive up to eight hours to get to our destination. That, of course, is long for a baby, but if you want to get to that point, start early. Take the baby for rides in the car. Choose a destination which is not too far, and when you arrive, spend some time with there with the baby. If the baby learns early that travel is a normal aspect of life, all further travel will build on that solid foundation. Great advice, and it works! Lots of great tips for kids of other ages, too. If you travel, and are having a child, I strongly recommend this book.
Best so far

I am researching the possibilities and problems with traveling with our first child. I picked up this book and a similar one by another author. Hands down, Tristam's book wins. She deals with normal incidents and gives valuable resources (products, addresses, etc.) for traveling. Very practical book.
It's good to know that others have gone before you

As we faced the birth of our first child almost two years ago, we thought our globe-trotting days were behind us. A thoughtful friend bought this book for me and it was a good reference for that first trip abroad. What we found even more helpful was the courage to just pack up the little one and get on the plane. We have been there and back again and our child has almost more frequent flyer miles than we do.
