10 Things that Make Traveling with Kids Easier

Quick tips to help you stay sane in transit

8.) Tracking devices: The Giggle Bug toddler tracker works similarly to those fobs that help you find your car keys. Except this one's louder. And you clip it onto your kid.

9.) A great stroller (or two): The Sit 'n Stand LX is a stroller with a toddler-friendly jump seat. It's not much bigger than a regular stroller -- definitely a plus in a crowded airport. Not to be confused with the Sit 'n' Stroll, a combination carseat-stroller-booster seat we use so often that I'm dreading the day our youngest outgrows it.

10.) Quick diaper changes: The Pronto mini-changer by Skip Hop keeps everything you need for a diaper change in a compact, easy-to-grab clutch. Don't feel like investing in yet another bag? Keep an extra diaper or two and slim package of disposable wipes in a plastic grocery bag, roll it up, and stash it at the top of your carryon instead.
