This book deserves a place in the suitcase of every parent who travels with a child--it is like having a caring peditrician traveling with you. Marlene Coleman values the importance of a family vacation and has created an outstanding guide that ranges from pre-planning for children's behavior patterns and matching accommodations with convenience all the way to providing easy-to-read sections addressing those challenging moments every parent dreads. She has simpified the reading by listing bulleted items as well as color-coded locators for specific categories of medical advice. This is one book that will serve the loving parent in many ways--you do not want to leave home without "Safe and Sound: Healthy Travel for Children!"

This is an extremely well written book for parents who plan to travel with children. The author is a pediatrician and shows her knowledge not just of children, including different ages, but of how to make both the children and the parents(!) comfortable during travel. Much focus is put on preparation, with specific hints and tips on how best to prepare to anticipate & deal with issues that might occur. Safety precautions are also discussed in detail.

We purchased this book before a family trip to Mexico and were thrilled with the level of specifics detailed, which allowed us to all travel comfortably and had a great time. We're very impressed with this book and will use it for future travel as well!

This book is written with a great amount of caring and professional expertise and is an invaluable resource for every parent as well as for physicians who care for children and thier families. Susan Reynolds, MD (emergency physician and mother)

As I read this book, one thought kept occurring to me: Why didn't anybody tell me this before? Move over Dr. Spock, there's a new pediatrician in town.
