Family vacations can be memorable—for both fun and fiasco! Make this summer's excursions easier and more pleasurable with The Rough Guide to Travel with Babies and Young Children by Fawzia Rasheed de Francisco. This down-to-earth resource for traveling with tykes offers the ultimate blueprint to plan a relatively snarl-proof trip. Organized into four sections ("Preparation," "Making the Journey," Being There" and "Around the World"), de Francisco's commonsense, psychologically insightful narrative is an A-to-Z list of travel suggestions and to-dos, from planning, paperwork and packing to tips on traveling by jet, car or train. This guide has you covered from the moment you settle in for your holiday (how to childproof your hotel room) to daily activities and challenges parents face when shepherding children (water safety and nappy rash).
