Once your kids reach elementary school, travel generally gets easier. You’ll still need to make some preparations and considerations in your itineraries with kids in tow, but it’s not the same level of intensity as the baby and toddler years. Whew!
I put together this guide to help you navigate this particular season of travel with kids—when they are old enough to carry bookbags and pull luggage and have their own opinions and unique interests. It includes the big and small things that have helped us and that I hope help you on your travel journey too.
