Login to AccessYou’re going to learn everything you need to know for traveling with your 0-24 month old. Our daughter has crossed over the 24 month old mark, and we tried to take as many trips with her as possible.
She visited three different countries in addition to domestic travel within the US before she was 21 months.
For us, we enjoyed getting her out of the daily routine. We think it helped open her up to the world and it also helped us from feeling trapped in the same schedule over and over again. Plus, the free flights (aka lap infant) were a motivating factor as well, for us to travel by plane before she turned 2.
Our travel style
Before having kids, we started as minimalist travelers (Dan traveled with a 40L bag + 25L backpack for a year, and Becca once took a flight wearing only a personal item in order to fly Basic Economy!) who are super budget-conscious. Now traveling with our daughter, we keep some of the same principles, but obviously understand that “money = convenience” in a lot of situations.
Our perspective is that of someone trying to stay within a budget and be realistic during travel scenarios. You’ll see that as a soft theme throughout our content. When there are more expensive options, we’ll call them out and what the benefits are. We’ll be transparent as to whether or not we have tried them.
What you’ll learn
In this course, we’ve compiled literally everything that we’ve learned (and wanted to know) over 2 years of traveling with one child (under 24 months) domestically and internationally. If we haven’t experienced something in particular first-hand, we’ve reached out to friends and family to learn about their experiences and relay them to you.
We’re excited to teach you what’s worked for us, tips we’ve learned along the way and the products that have made our travel easier!
