[quote=Anonymous]I have 3 kids and honestly travel between about 15 - 36 months is fairly unpleasant. We just put a pause on things when the kids were around that age unless it involved traveling with helpful grandparents so we could get a real break. Or I know some friends who would take their nanny.

If you are going to do it, then you need either a 3 hour or less drive, or direct flight. If flying, ideally go somewhere walkable so you don’t need to worry about schlepping car seats. Get a house rental or suite with closed off bedrooms (hopefully that has a pack n play so you don’t have to bring one) so you can chill in the main area once the kids go to bed.

Or take time off to do day trips while the kids are in childcare (only works if you have set up childcare).

It gets a lot better though, my kids are elementary age now and super fun to take places. Also once they are 3+ you can use melatonin to help them adjust to being off schedule/time change differences. Mine don’t need it anymore, but between ages ~3 to 5ish it was a godsend to avoid little kids bouncing off the walls or melting down and unable to sleep in a new place.[/quote]
