Parents
of twins are usually proud to have them but, they often do not look
forward to travelling with them because of the stress involved.
Travelling
is meant to be enjoyed however if couples with twins are not careful a
large chunk of their trip will be dedicated to taking care of them. The
million dollar question is should travelling with twins and other
multiples be a big deal?
No need to pack double items
It’s a
tradition for twins to use similar stuff like clothes, cups, shoes,
strollers, bicycle and bags. So when travelling, it’s not compulsory for
you pack double of every item they will need. Aside from the fact that
the car may be crammed, you will be paying additional luggage fees.
Get the right flight and seats
The most
frustrating time travellers with twins have is when both toddlers
crying simultaneously. But this can be avoided if you book a flight that
allows you to breastfeed your babies. Some airlines provide
breastfeeding cubicles. In addition, get a sit where you can easily put
the twin to sleep. Also, if you can, fly or drive at a time when they
will be asleep. As a rule of thumb, ensure that the breastfeeding
bottles are within your reach and pack them separately.
Change diapers before departure
One
smart way to prevent toddlers from crying during a trip is to make sure
that their diapers are dry. It will be a tearful journey for the twis if
they feel wet. As a note of caution, you can replace the diapers before
your departure whether they are wet or not.
Board last
For
couples travelling with twins, it’s better for them to board the plane
last. This is in a bid to ensure that you didn’t leave anything behind.
Caring for twins can cause you to be disorganised and uncoordinated.
Hence, there is a high possibility that you may leave something behind.
So, get all the help you require by making sure that nothing is left
behind.
In flight entertainment
If your
twins are hyperactive, ensure you pack toys they can play with. The toys
can keep them busy as well as in check. You have to be eagle-eyed to
prevent them from straying.
Use strollers when walking
Travelling
with a child is difficult let alone travelling with two. Hence, it is
advisable to place them in a stroller that accommodates two. This is the
most convenient way for moving them around and makes it easier to
monitor them while appreciating the beauty of nature.
