Traveling with kids can be a challenge, especially with the added worry of safety thrown into the mix.It is the responsibility of parents to ensure their children's safety, so these following suggestions may help to avoid accidents and the horror of lost children...
Before leaving on your holiday remind children about your family safety procedures for dealing with strangers, what to do if they get lost.
Keep a recent photo of children handy, also a photocopy of passports kept in a safe place or with a relative that can fax it to you in case of loss.
If you label children's clothing, make sure the label is inside so strangers are not able to learn child's name.
A single parent travelling with children should ensure that permission from other parent is readily available for authorities (this is to prevent one parent abductions). This is especially important for air/train or cross border travel.
Always ensure one parent is in charge of keeping an eye on children and perhaps other parent can look after arrangements for travel.
Dressing children in bright colors makes them readily visible.
Try to remember what they are wearing
Consider using a harness for toddlers, especially in busy places like airports, attractions.
Remind children about road safety rules, hold the hand of children under nine at all times when crossing a road or at an intersection.
