Format:Paperback
A great resource full of tips for traveling with your children no matter if you are making a short trip to visit family, or doing something adventurous in a strange land!
Wanderlust and Lipstick: Traveling with Kids covers all of the bases with practical advice concerning safety, budget traveling, eco-friendly trips, and how to best utilize technology when you are on the road.
Very specific suggestions about what to pack (and what not to pack) are a wonderful reference for parents of little ones! Take the advice from someone who has made a few mistakes about over packing in the past.
I think this book is especially informative for new parents and will help them gain confidence for that milestone: Baby's First Trip!
I also enjoyed the "in the trenches" stories from 50 mothers to inspire you in conquering the sometimes frightening pilgrimage of parenting on the road.

I was really disappointed with this book. As a traveller and mum of two I found this book did nothing but state the obvious with interjected personal stories. I was hoping for some really useful tips, but didn't find them here!
Format:Paperback
This is a thorough, well researched guide to traveling with kids of all ages. Michelle and Leslie's interviewed countless moms about their experiences traveling with their own kids, and that gives the book a broad perspective, especially when it comes to dealing with different personality types and challenges on the road. Short stories from real moms, sprinkled throughout the book, also make what could easily have been a dry and pragmatic handbook more engaging.
Traveling With Kids does a good job of covering the basics (while delving in deep on the important topics like surviving a plane flight). Where appropriate it provides links and references for more information.
