Of course, we must remember that etiquette should be observed not only in the city, but also at the resort. It is not advisable to visit ancient temples and other historical buildings in flip-flops and short shorts.

If your vacation involves hiking in the mountains or extreme types of entertainment, then choose tracksuits in which you will be comfortable climbing the mountainside.

What to take a child to the sea

Try not to pack too many things with you. Cool summers in Crimea are rare, so take one light jacket and a tracksuit with you in case it gets cold. It would be enough.

Things the baby will need:

3-4 pairs of panties and T-shirts, for older children - a bathing suit;
2 pairs of shorts and several T-shirts;
2 Panama hats;
Sandals or flip flops, a pair of closed shoes (in case of rain);
Cotton clothes with long sleeves (useful if the child gets sunburned).

Be sure to include several towels and thin diapers in your list of things to do when traveling with a child at sea. Even if the child is more than 1.5-2 years old, they can be useful to you.

This clothing list is relevant for a trip to the seaside only if you are confident that you can wash your baby’s clothes as needed. Don't take too many toys to the resort, even if you go on vacation by car. Most often, when playing on the beach, a child with great pleasure uses the means at hand - pebbles, shells or sand.

Try to be on the beach before 11:00 in the morning and after 16-17:00 in the evening, and to ensure that your baby doesn’t get bored during the day, take your favorite small book or album with pencils on your trip.

Try to make a list of what to take to the sea with your child in advance, then you will probably cross out a lot of unnecessary items and remember the necessary things that you forgot to buy.

List of necessary items when on vacation with a child, without which it will not be easy

A thoughtful list of medications that may be needed on the road and at sea

Medicines that you or your child take regularly as prescribed by your doctor.

Antipyretics.

Nurofen in syrup and paracetamol in syrup. If the child is small, the body temperature may increase due to heat stroke, respiratory infection, or gastrointestinal tract infection. These two drugs can be alternated. The dose of the drug is calculated depending on the age of the child. You can give no more than the permissible daily dose of one type of drug per day.

Painkillers for adults.

No-spa, analgin, paracetamol in tablets, Spazmalgon, Nurofen in tablets. These drugs will help you quickly cope with menstrual pain and muscle pain.

Antihistamines.

New foods and exotic fruits can cause unwanted allergic reactions. For children, dosage forms in the form of Zodak and Suprastin drops are suitable. For adults, tablet preparations Tavegil, Lominal, Loratadine. If you have severely itchy lesions after mosquito bites, you can use Rescuer, Boro-Plus, Bepanten. Fenstil gel.

Intestinal antiseptics.

If food poisoning occurs, with diarrhea and vomiting, these drugs can stop the initial symptoms before seeking medical attention. Nifuroxazide is a modern drug for the treatment of diarrhea of infectious origin. Available in the form of tablets and suspensions. The dosage is selected taking into account age.

Sorbents.

Enterosgel, Regidron, Atoxil. The drugs are used to eliminate intoxication from food poisoning and allergic reactions. Frequent vomiting and diarrhea dehydrate the body and deprive it of important microelements. Regidron is a saline solution that should be given to the patient during the first few days.

Medicines against motion sickness.

This group of medications is indispensable if an adult or child gets motion sickness in transport. There are dosages for children and adults. Dromina - for children from 1 year of age, Kinedril - from 3 years of age, Kokkulin and Avia-more - for children from 3 years of age.

Medicines against acute respiratory infections.

It's very easy to catch a cold at sea. Outdoor temperatures reach high levels, and shops, hotels and cafes usually have air conditioning. In order not to spoil your vacation, stock up on complex medications against ARVI symptoms. For a child, take cough syrups.

Do not take medications for which you do not know the purpose. If you have a health problem, be sure to find a medical center or doctor. Before using any drug, consult your doctor.

Vacation at sea with children 4-6 years old

At this age, children no longer care about how they look. You can pack things together with your child, especially if you have a daughter. Choose clothes in light colors, but be sure to be bright and cheerful.

Clothes you will need:

T-shirts (5-6 pcs.);
shorts, breeches or summer jeans (~ 3-5 pieces);
sundresses for girls (3 pcs.);
socks (3-4 pairs);
swimming trunks or swimsuits (2 pcs.);
baseball caps or bandanas;
sun cover on the beach;
sports cotton suit;

The shoes you choose are soft, comfortable, and true to size - moccasins, slims, open sandals. Don't forget about rubber or plastic shoes for the beach.

Toys for the ride

Children from 4 to 6 years old love outdoor games. Take a ball, water pistols, fins, masks. For safety on the water, inflatable arm guards, circles, and neck collars are required.

For leisure in the room or on the playground:

books with bright colorful pictures;
coloring books;
pencils, felt-tip pens;
small cars for boys;
dolls for girls;
board games, pyramids, small construction set.

Don't forget to bring a children's cosmetic bag with soap, shampoo and other personal hygiene products. Sun protection cream and moisturizer after the beach are indispensable by the sea.

The proposed lists will be a guide for you when preparing for a trip to the sea. The list and quantity of children's things is adjusted depending on the duration of the vacation, the health characteristics and interests of the children.

What to take with you on a trip to the sea with a 2-3 year old child by car

If the car trip to the sea will be long, and small children are traveling with you in the car, you should be prepared.

First of all, remember a few simple rules on what to do if your child gets sick in the car:

Adults who accompany a small passenger should take care of eliminating the consequences of motion sickness as quickly as possible.
The first thing to do is try to quickly change soiled clothes and remove all remnants of vomit from the child. Use wet wipes to wipe the baby's face, neck and other parts of the body.
Reassure the child and tell him that no one blames him for what is happening.
And only then wipe the soft car seats and floor.
You should not make sudden movements. Neither brake sharply nor accelerate. Changing the speed of movement provokes new attacks of vomiting.
Create an influx of fresh air by opening the windows slightly, stopping the car smoothly and opening the door.
In the case when a small passenger was traveling in a child seat, carefully, if the design of the seat allows it, remove particles of undigested food from all folds and belts.
The smell and appearance of vomit is extremely unpleasant and can cause stomach cramps not only in a child, but also in an adult.
You need to be especially careful if several children are traveling in the car at once. The principle of a chain reaction will work and other travelers will feel no less sick.
Play a game with your child: beat out the rhythm with your feet on the bottom of the car while listening to music. Such rhythmic movements of the legs are also capable of coordinating the sensations of the body.
When a one-year-old child gets sick in the car, it is important that vomit does not enter the respiratory tract. While the car is moving, the child should be held with his head elevated.

The main rule is more water. Just plain chilled water.

Take a bag of goodies into the car. Dry cookies, dried fruits, fresh fruits, nuts. In your refrigerator bag, take sandwiches or portioned lunches that you prepare at home. Do not take fatty or too sweet foods; an overfilled stomach can cause vomiting.

Child's favorite toys.

A tablet with downloaded cartoons.

Wet wipes, paper towels, toilet paper.

Change of clothes for the child in case of motion sickness.

Take care to protect from direct sunlight. Suction cup curtains or window blinds.

A complete list of things for the trip to the sea by train

Traveling on a train with a child under three years old is quite difficult. But if it is not possible to get to the sea by another means of transport, then you should prepare for the trip thoroughly.

There are several rules that will help make your trip more comfortable.

If you are carrying a large amount of money with you, divide the money into several parts. And hide it in different places. In a suitcase, put it manually, in another suitcase.

Do not take food on the train that can quickly spoil. For example, cakes and cream pies, tomatoes, herbs, and other vegetables, they can become wrinkled.

List of things for the train:

A change of clothes for yourself (tracksuit, breeches, T-shirt).
A change of clothes for the child (T-shirt, shorts, tracksuit, knitted pants, T-shirt).
Toothbrush (for yourself and for the child).
Soap in a soap dish.
Towel (medium size).
Comb.
Toys for children (on the train you can play board games, assemble puzzles or constructor sets).
Tablet or laptop with cartoons.
Wet wipes.

Rules of conduct on the train.

Children of different ages are quite restless and curious people. They constantly want to go somewhere and look everywhere. To avoid unforeseen and tragic incidents, follow simple rules.

Do not leave children unattended or under the supervision of strangers.

Do not get out of the carriage, and especially do not let children go alone onto the platform at stops (children may fall from the platform, walk away and get left behind the train).

Do not allow children to play with the brake valve, pull it or hang up toys.

Don't lean out of the window yourself and don't let children stick their heads out of train windows.

Do not throw trash or objects out of the window, whether the train is moving or not.

How to travel with a child on a plane

Flying on an airplane can be stressful for a child of any age. At first the child will be interested, but when taking off and changing the position of the body in space it can be very uncomfortable. To ensure everything goes smoothly, make sure to follow simple rules.

Provide entertainment for your child (games, books with stickers, cartoons on your phone).
If you have a long flight, worry about small snacks (sticks, cereal, sweets, cookies).
Bring your favorite toy or blanket with you to the cabin to make it easier for your child to fall asleep on the plane.
Before your trip, see your pediatrician to check for inflammation of the oropharynx and ears.
Hold your child's hand when boarding and disembarking the plane.
Place important items and documents in your pockets or in a purse that you keep with you (in the event of an emergency landing of the plane and you need to quickly leave the plane, searching for documents and important things on the shelf can take up precious minutes).
Change of clothes for the baby, and if required, a diaper.
For long flights, use absorbent bags or a collapsible potty.

What to take with you to the sea with a child: list of things for the baby

There is a first time for everything. Perhaps you became a mother not so long ago, and you do not yet have practical experience of long trips with a child - this is not a reason for concern. We will tell you what to take with you to the sea with your child. The list of things for the baby is as follows.

If the child already wears underwear, take enough panties and T-shirts so that you don’t have to think about continuous washing. It would be nice to have a par 5 to spare.
Shorts and T-shirts in the amount of 5 sets are also useful - regardless of whether you have a boy or a girl, this is the most common children's clothing for the summer.
If you are planning evening walks into the city and generally intend to somehow diversify your beach holiday, for a boy you will need a couple of “weekend” sets, and for a girl – the same number of dresses or sundresses.
In case of cool weather, you will need tights or long trousers and a blouse. In resort areas, cold days are rare, and therefore you can limit yourself to one set for this case.
Socks are very important for proper thermoregulation of the baby. In addition, they often get dirty if the child is active enough. Determine the quantity yourself, but we recommend taking at least 5 pairs.
Wearing a hat is the basics of child safety on the beach. Take a cap and hat or a light Panama hat with you - in the summer a child simply cannot go without a hat.
Regarding shoes, if the child does not walk yet, then everything is simple - take what you like and what suits the season, since for now it is still “decoration”. If the baby is already walking, then for the beach you will need rubber shoes - for example, flip-flops or sandals; take sandals or sandals as your main shoes.

It is also important to understand that you need to stock up on medications and essential supplies. Even if you are going to a hotel with good medical care, you will be calmer if you take a “truncated version” of a first aid kit for newborns from home.

Hydrogen peroxide for wound disinfection.
Remedy for motion sickness - tablets or an acupuncture bracelet.
Sterile wipes, cotton pads and swabs.
Iodine is better in pencil format.
Wound healing agent "Rescuer".
Plaster to cover possible scratches.
Fenistil-gel to relieve itching from insect bites.

Experienced mothers also recommend that you definitely include a good supply of diapers in the list of what you need to take with you to the sea with your child. It happens that it is quite difficult to find familiar diapers in a foreign city or country, and changing brands is not always convenient.

Documents you need to take with you on vacation at sea with children

Passports for each family member.
Birth certificates of children.
Insurance documents.
Vouchers.
Tickets for train, plane, bus.
Documents for the car.

Money. Do not take the entire amount in cash; if possible, leave some money on the card, but you should also have enough money on hand so that you can handle urgent needs.

Divide all your cash into several parts. Hide some of the money in your carry-on luggage, and keep some with you. If you are traveling abroad, be sure to purchase the necessary currency.
