Tips
Six tips for stress-free travel
1
Book at least 24h ahead
Guarantees the right child seat. Last-minute can work, but stock varies.
2
Leave earlier with kids
Schiphol check-in with children and luggage is slower. Add at least 30 minutes to solo timing.
3
Pack the night before
Lay everything by the front door the evening before. The morning rush with kids is no time for packing.
4
Bring snacks and a drink
Car ride 30–90 minutes. A small snack and a water bottle prevent restlessness and hangry meltdowns.
5
Toys or tablet ready
Entertainment in the car and later at the gate. Tablet charged, content downloaded.
6
Bathroom break just before leaving
Even if they say 'I don't need to' — ask anyway. Nothing is worse than a kid needing the toilet in traffic.
