I’ve not been shy about how difficult I found toddler travel and refer to it as the worst age to travel with kids.

It’s the time when they find their legs, and you rediscover yours, which means travel becomes all about running after your little ones and keeping a constant eye on them.

It can be draining, but it can also be a memorable and rewarding experience.

Your baby could slide into toddler age at any time from nine months to 18 months (maybe later) and stay in that same “high energy, high spirited, curious and wild personality”.

We have a lot of experience with toddler travel – more so than any other age range. We did several trips in the USA, Puerto Rico, and Australia when Kalyra was a toddler.

It encourages their curiosity and fosters a sense of wonder.

Travel also helps them to develop important life skills such as being adaptable to change and resilience.
