Parents traveling with young children universally dread certain sounds: their baby screaming on an airplane, the chorus of Are we there yet? from preschoolers and the uh oh... from a potty training toddler that indicates an accident. Shelly Rivoli knows this from experience, and has created a companion volume to her award-winning Travels with Baby trip planning guide. In Take-Along Travels with Baby: Hundreds of Tips to Help During Travel with Your Baby, Toddler, and Preschooler (Travels with Baby Books, 978-0-9831227-0-8), Rivoli takes parents from the planning stage to the car, airplane, and hotel room. The expected suggestions for entertaining children are here, but there are also tips for getting through long lines quickly, installing rental car seats, hiring local babysitters, and more. Many parents will find this guide indispensable on their trips, and may even benefit from keeping it in the diaper bag to have handy next time they find themselves in backed up traffic or waiting to pick up the older kids from school. --ForeWord Magazine

I am a HUGE fan of the book Travels with Babies (you can see my previous posts) and I often buy it as a gift and recommend it regularly on parent listservs where there is always someone asking a traveling with baby question. The book has been a useful resource to me and my family; one that I have referred to time and again over the years. In fact, I am such a fan of Travels with Babies, that I was skeptical that I would need this take-along pocket guide. Well, I got a copy anyway and I am glad that I did! I use Travels with Babies as I am preparing for a trip, but let's face it, I don't have room in my overstuffed bags to carry it with me although I have often thought, if I had the time, I'd photocopy a few pages to bring with me. Well this pocket guide is PERFECT! It fits in my purse or carry on and here is what I like about it: (1) It has all the useful checklists including a section on medical emergencies which you need not on your bookshelf back home but with you during your medical emergency wherever you are. (2) It has all kinds of creative games and strategies for entertaining your child while traveling. Again, you might have thought about all kinds of things to do to keep your child entertained but when they burn through your ideas in the first 20min of a transatlantic flight, my creative juices seem to melt at a slightly faster pace than my child's meltdown. Must have the list in your carry on! (3) This Take-Along edition is dotted with reminders that you are on VACATION! While getting from A to B you might as well enjoy the process. There is a section in the end to record funny things your child says and I love the suggestion of buying postcards and asking you child to draw pictures or ask them what they would like to say about the trip to family back home. I sometimes forget how wonderful and different my child's perspective is on things and what amazing things I learn about her (ahem, and me!) if I just ask. So to summarize: I think you need the book AND the Take-Along version. Happy travels!
I received this book as a gift. It's a great handy reference packed with easy-to-follow tips on traveling comfortably with kids in tow. I heartily recommend it for anyone planning a plane ride with small children. In fact, it should be a must-read for parents who travel! I found tips that even an adult can use. I now am planning to give it as a gift to my friends who have small children.
Just basic tips. We had travelled with kids before, and I'm not sure why I thought this book would make things any better. Maybe good for a first time traveller with kids, but I regret the purchase.
