Traveling with Kiddos

So I posted on Facebook this morning looking for advice on planning a potential trip this winter with my 2 kiddos - on my own. Yup, just me and the kids. Not even sure this is an idea that should be explored, much less implemented, but I REALLY want to go on this trip, and it’s looking like it’s with kids or not at all.

Anyway, within a few minutes, Edward Branley responded to me asking what I needed. I gave him a few of my questions and away he went! I actually inspired him to write this AWESOME post about traveling with little kids - PLEASE go read it, he goes out of his way to address many small, yet significant details that I would have never thought of.

After reading the details, though, I’m thinking more and more like I’d be crazy to attempt this - anyone want to reassure me that it’s possible to get from Wisconsin to North Carolina with 1 adult and 2 toddlers? Anyone?

Thanks YatPundit :-)

  1. Wisconsin to North Carolina with 2 toddlers? Best of luck to you. Very very brave. If it goes incredibly well, who knows? Perhaps you’ll inspire many of us to dare try it ourselves :)

  3. I’ve also flown as the only adult. Depending on the ages of your children there are lots of things that can make your life easier. If your children are over 20 pounds you should look into the CARES safety harness instead of a car seat while on the plane. I wish I could help you more but I don’t really know the details of your trip. :)
