If you’re flying, remember the 100ml fluid rules at security. So, don’t pack your kids favourite drinks bottles full of liquid as they will ask you to throw them away.
Are you picking up a hire car at your destination? Make sure you know the car safety law for that country (handy infographic of top UK holiday destinations). There is a handy children’s car restraint called mifold which is approved to use across Europe for children aged 4+.
When flying take something for children to suck on. This will help with ear pressure and distract them from any pain.
