How to travel actively and smartly with children – Preparing for holidays and trips

For young children, every journey is a big event, with new emotions, new places, new faces and luggage full of their favourite items. For parents, it is often a challenge, as they need to consider how to plan trips to avoid tantrums, fatigue and stress. The key is choosing the right equipment that will turn any journey into a real adventure.

How to keep children occupied while travelling to avoid boredom

Long waiting times at the airport, queues for tickets and transfers along the way are challenging for children, as they do not like standing still. That’s why, when preparing for a trip, it is worth making sure the child has their valued items close at hand.

The iTravel suitcase with scooter is a practical solution that ensures the child always has their favourite toys, books or snacks within reach. It allows them to move easily between different stages of the journey, whether at the airport or train station or along hotel corridors.

A suitcase with a scooter to develop responsibility

The clever combination of a suitcase and a scooter helps children to learn responsibility. They independently choose what to pack and how to arrange their belongings and then take care of making sure their luggage reaches the destination with them. This helps develop a sense of autonomy and teaches organisation in practice. The picture frame on the front of the suitcase is a helpful addition – just a colourful drawing is enough to easily spot their luggage in a crowd. Children can also use the suitcase to develop independence during sporting activities.

The iTravel suitcase – ideal for short outings and longer trips

The iTravel is fantastic for both everyday outings and longer journeys. It can be taken for a walk or to nursery, or packed for a holiday. The suitcase meets the majority of cabin baggage standards, but it is always worth checking your carrier’s guidelines before you depart.

Balance bikes for holidays – a fun way to boost development

Holidays are the perfect opportunity to break out of the everyday routine and spend more time outdoors. You can opt for active holidays with a balance bike for your child from as early as 2 years old. Whether enjoying morning rides along forest paths, taking short trips to a nearby shop, tackling dirt roads around the summer house or playing on the grass in the garden, this is a way for your child to explore the world through movement, develop coordination and build self-confidence.

For summer trips, the Magnesium Pro model is ideal. It weighs just 2.5 kg, so you can easily take it anywhere: to the lake, the countryside, the seaside, the mountains or camping. And when the child feels more confident on a balance bike, the natural next step in their development may be their first scooter, which will open up completely new possibilities for active play.

Trips that teach responsibility, emotional skills and independence

Leisure involving physical activity is an investment in children’s development, health and everyday habits. Movement supports coordination and concentration and regulates emotions. When a child has the opportunity to take part in preparing for a trip and make small decisions – for example, how to pack their luggage, what to take on a walk or where to sit for a picnic – they feel important and engaged. This is a way to learn independence through action, but under the watchful eye of a parent. Activity during travel is a recipe for a successful holiday with a child.
