![]() ![]() As soon as our youngest was 10, Covid hit so we’re still waiting to go. Likewise, we’ve wanted to go to the Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle in Thailand for over a decade, but the minimum age is 10. Unfortunately LEGO has since changed its minimum LEGO Inside Tour age to 10. We waited until he was seven and it was an incredible experience – well worth the wait. My son and I had wanted to go on the LEGO Inside Tour since hearing many years ago. I’ve had to deal with ages frequently – not because of what’s easiest, but because of specific age restrictions. The much larger focus should be on where in the world is appropriate for a child. The good thing about jet lag: you’re up early to see the sunrise! Destinations And when I took my daughter around the world in two weeks at the age of ten, she never woke up jet lagged – she instantly adjusted her body to wherever we were, through 24 time zones. My wife and I may be up for a couple hours in the middle of the night, but the kids are, almost without exception, now sleeping through the night and are immediately on European time. But once we got past those few hours, we were good the rest of the trip.Īt around six or seven, though, something magical happened – our kids no longer got jet lag. ![]() Young kids aren’t going to be able to entertain themselves so it requires active parental involvement. Until the kids were six or so, every time we would travel to Europe we would have two or three kids wide awake from roughly 2am to 5am the first or second night. Don’t worry too much about the flights – they’re a (sometimes uncomfortable) means to an end.īeware: if you travel to Australia with your kids, there’s a good chance you’ll return with a giant wombat Jet LagĪs with airplanes, I’m not concerned with jet lag. But the flight is always over in 12 hours or so regardless of how good, or bad, your child is. It’s never fun walking around a plane with young kids, or hoping that they don’t decide to start screaming. The flights weren’t easy, especially for my wife (see my tips for flying with kids). That didn’t stop us though. We took each of our three kids to Europe during that age range – my oldest at nine months, the middle at 11 months and the youngest at 15 months. Around 6-7 months kids start crawling and they don’t want to sit still on an airplane for a long period of time. When our first child was born, our pediatrician told us that it’s hardest to fly with kids between 6 months and 2 years old.
