What’s the Safest Age for Babies and Toddlers to Travel?
When it comes to traveling with babies and toddlers, many experts agree that the safest and easiest age range is between 3 to 9 months old. At this stage, babies are typically not yet mobile, meaning they’re less likely to crawl or walk around, which reduces the risk of accidents. They’re also usually more adaptable to changes in environment and routine, and they sleep a lot, making it easier to manage travel schedules. Additionally, this age range is often before the onset of stranger anxiety, making them more comfortable with new faces and places.
For toddlers, traveling becomes more manageable after they turn two, as they can better communicate their needs and enjoy the experience. Always consider your child's temperament and health when planning trips.
