I purchased several books on traveling with children for my upcoming trip to Paris with a 1 yr old. This was my least favorite, and a bit disappointing. I found it to be page after page of common sense, like telling me to pack baby's clothes, diapers, and feeding items...about 3/4 of the book has location-specific info on things to do, but only offered 2 pages on France so it was not all that helpful in my case. I found "Travels With Baby" by Shelly Rivoli to be MUCH more useful and packed with fantastic tips and resources.

So far i am enjoying the insights this book offers into the experience of travelling abroad with little kids; the playgrounds in paris, the lack of diapers in india, etc... I hope to get lots out of it and mainly to calm some of my fears so that i can bravely go where moms and dads have gone before.

If you have never traveled with your baby or kids before, I would recommend a different book that contains more "advice," like Lutz's On the Go with Baby.

If you are going to travel extensively with your kids, this is a nice book to have in your travel library. It does not get too specific about individual places, but then again it does have some interesting specifics you may not find in other books. The first-hand accounts are great. It is rather short, but it does have some good advice and anecdotes pertaining to travel in out-of-the-way places. I was disappointed it does not refer to the extent English is spoken in various foreign countries. However, if you are a little adventurous and are thinking about planning a trip with kids-in-tow, but don't know exactly where you want to go, this is a good book to use in the decision making process.

I'm afraid thats the impression I got, and I felt a bit duped, especially as it seemed an exciting concept. Someone (a journalist?) had some ideas, had some spare time, knew a few people who had been abroad with their children, and did some cutting and pasting!
Much of the content is obvious, like bring some nappies when travelling with a baby (really!),the travel stories are strangely pedestrian ... even in the most exotic locations the stories and the people barely come to life it is so passionless, and single parents are given just a couple of pages.
On the one hand it is not particularly insightful or inspirational, and on the other hand it doesn't really take account of real problems that may arise e.g. a young toddler's illness abroad (my recent experience).
Some of the obvious things it says are, I have to say, truly breathtaking.
but its not so bad, if you can read through all the "filler" you might find a few interesting bits, you could borrow it from the library, but please don't shell out good money for such an unserious book.
one final constant annoyance is the author's constant referral to children (and babies presumably) as "kids". Why journalists do this I don't know. I think something dismissive about the term, and it says alot about the level at which the book is pitched.

I really appreciated this title, as one of the best on travelling with younger children. Advice, first-hand narratives, child gear availability(highchairs, carseats) and breastfeeding acceptability info is given on many countries as broken down by region, both typical - European countries - to non-typical, such as Nepal. Much of the advice is provided by experts in that region (i.e. a family who lived in the mideast provides Mideast information).
While it's probably not the best for parents of older children (try Cynthia Harriman's Take your Kids to Europe), it's incredibly inspirational to those with children 4 and under, even those with multiple children 4 and under (one contributor has such a situation!). It's also *much* better than the previous edition by the same title, which you may still find floating around in used bookstores.
I only wish they had done some sort of "best of" list - i.e. best countries for parents of toddlers, best for parents of babies, best for older-younger kids, etc.

As a mother of two, I found this book both inspiring and encouraging. There's loads of information on countries I've always thought of visitng but thought it would be too hard with kids and tonnes of reader's tips and stories that really give you the feeling it can be done. There's a great story about a French family who threw it all in to travel around the world and give their kids a real education through travel. Inspiring stuff for Mums!

There wasn't much here for traveling with 11 to 14 year-olds. I gave this book to my sister and she felt it had some good suggestions for traveling with her very young children. Her family travels with her husband on business trips that last a week or two. I am still looking.

This book was not what I expected. I was looking for travel tips for traveling with my 1 year old child. I found page after page of anecdotes of other parents taking their kids to zoos around the world. If you are looking tips on what to bring/ how to travel I would recommend Rick Steve's "Europe through the Back Door." His traveling with kids section is much more pratical.
