Traveling is the best way for people to relax and release stress. Not only adults can travel, but children can also choose suitable tourist destinations for play. Smaller babies may encounter many inconveniences during the travel process because they are too young, so they can only choose nearby places. What age group of babies are suitable for traveling abroad?
At what age is a baby suitable for traveling abroad
Babies under 1 year old are not suitable for long-distance travel because they cannot walk yet, and it is not easy for parents to carry them on long journeys. 1-3 year old babies can choose to travel nearby, and parents should choose a travel destination that can be reached within 4 hours by car. Babies aged 3-6 can travel far, but it is not advisable to take a car for a long time.
Considering the acceptance level of the baby, it is best to choose a short trip schedule that can be traveled back and forth in about 3-4 days, so that even if there are accidents on the way, it can be returned in a short time. The destination is preferably a natural landscape with fresh air and beautiful scenery, or a travel product with professional parent-child activities. In fact, babies are not as fragile as parents worry, and babies around 3 months old are quite suitable for travel. And at this stage, babies are less likely to feel disturbed by travel and won't run around causing trouble. As long as the route is interesting and wide, babies will definitely enjoy it.
What mode of transportation is acceptable for babies
Generally speaking, babies under 6 months old are not recommended to take long-distance flights continuously because their lung function is not yet mature. How to provide a comfortable boarding environment for babies over 1 year old who are fully adapted to flying?
1. At least 1 hour in advance and informing you to travel with a baby, the airline may be able to arrange mother and baby seats (with wide spacing and folding boards) and provide a baby onboard gift package.
2. Changing a diaper for a child in the ground restroom before boarding is not an easy task due to the cramped and narrow space of the onboard restroom.
3. During takeoff and landing, keep the baby awake and use toys and soothing objects that the child likes to reduce anxiety and ear discomfort caused by aircraft takeoff and landing.
4. If you need to brew milk powder, you can ask a flight attendant to do it for you. But it is necessary to pre pack the precise amount of milk powder and inform the corresponding water level scale and temperature requirements, as flight attendants may not necessarily have parenting experience.
That's all for the introduction about which age babies are suitable for traveling abroad. Timely travel is a good choice for both adults and babies. When traveling abroad, parents should pay attention to choosing travel destinations, transportation, etc. based on their baby's situation. During the travel process, they should always pay attention to the baby's emotions and physical health changes, and take care of their baby's needs in a timely manner.
