Babies · 0–12 months
Easier than everyone told you
They sleep through most of it. Fly while they still nap on you, keep one home base, and bring more diapers than feels reasonable.
Flying with a baby

Family travel with babies, toddlers & little kids
Epic trips don't have to wait until they're older.
I'm Kiersten — mom of two little girls and your guide to trips that actually work with car seats, nap schedules, and snack emergencies in tow.
Where to next
Pick a destination
Every guide here has been run through the real test: two little girls, a stroller, and a nap schedule.
However little they are
Travel by age & stage
The trip that works at four months is not the trip that works at four years. Start where you actually are.
Toddlers · 1–2 years
The season that needs a plan
This is the stretch people warn you about. Shorter travel days, one big thing per day, and snacks within arm’s reach the whole time.

When it starts to click
They remember it now. They carry their own backpack, ask for the pool, and tell you about it for months. Soak it up.

Us, most weeks
About me
We didn't wait until the girls were older — and it's the best thing we've done.
Everyone told us to travel before the baby came, because after that it would be years before we went anywhere. Addie took her first long-haul flight at five months old. Eloise was one month old on her first trip.
It was not always easy. Easier isn't better, though — and the little years turned out to be the best time we could have picked. I'll show you how we do it: the flights, the naps, the meltdowns, all of it.
