[quote=Anonymous]I have traveled through Europe before but never with kids.   I'm finally taking my children (4yrs and 6yrs) to meet my family.  We would likely need to connect once in Paris or London, fly another 3 hours to home country and then another 1 hour to island where family lives.  I have no idea how to prepare for this trip.  Cars there would be much too small for our carseats let alone the luggage.  I know we will need to pack very light.  We will have access to do laundry and go food shopping.
Should I aim for longer than usual layover times or will that not matter if kids are tired?  Are there better airports with places for kids? Would spending a day or two in stopover city help or be too much for everyone?

Im also trying to understand what the options are for car seat rentals and what to think about in terms of sleeping arrangements, toys/activities to bring.

There won't be toys or tv there but I figure we will spend most time on the beach.

My family is no help, they are very laid back, always late and never plan ahead so I cannot count on them to prepare for us in any way.  Visiting as a single person has always been a logistical nightmare and now I'm bringing my DH and two kids.

I'm freakish out but can't put this trip off any longer.
