[quote=Anonymous]I only have one (only child by choice) and it's not that stressful to travel with her, even at a horrible travel age (just under 3). She is a great, low-maintenance sleeper, responds well to melatonin for jet lag, and not a picky eater. All of those things help. She is used to flying and knows how to behave on a plane, as long as we set her up for success -- as rested and fed as possible, electronics (tablet/movie), new toys/coloring book. We travel light and don't bring a whole caravan of kid gear.

I would love to bring a nanny or grandparent(s) but one set of grandparents is too old, the other set are homebodies who'd rather watch her for a weekend at our home than travel with us, and we haven't tried the nanny/sitter thing yet but plan to do so. When we travel, we have gotten local sitters/nannies through hotel services. It can be costly but it's been fine care. We do take kid-free trips and it is AMAZING -- even the least stressful travel with a kid is still not the same quality as without. [/quote]
