Kidventures Family Travel Podcast - Episode 3: Surviving road trips with kids
07/20/19 • 26 min
Are we nearly there yet? The cry every parent dreads from the back of the car... but from car journeys during your family holiday right up to a full-blow road trip, it needn't be that bad. The Kidventures family travel podcast hosts reveal their tips for surviving car journeys with kids.
Cathy remembers a drive along the Pacific Coast Highway, Highway 1 in California with a preschooler, while Ting and her sons explored the Garden Route in South Africa when her youngest was a baby. There's advice on the best ways to entertain kids in the car - including what to do if you're driving solo, if they get travel sick or if the thought of I Spy makes me scream.
From playlists and audio books to the value of paper maps and checking your windscreen washer fluid, they also share their tips on how to break up the journey, snacks you won't regret and the lengths parents go to to keep kids happy in the car.

Kidventures Family Travel Podcast - Episode 2: Family travel to Africa
Even the most adventurous travelling families sometimes draw the line at holidays in Africa - but as this episode explores, it should definitely be on your family travel wishlist. The Kidventures family travel podcast hosts are joined by Karen Beddow, mum of three, who also writes the family travel blog called Mini Travellers, and who's racked up three separate family holidays to Africa.
Visiting Rwanda, Malawi and Tanzania, Karen and her family - three girls, including twins - were faced with plenty of worried reactions but it's provided her kids with experiences they'll never forget, not least a close encounter with a lion. She gives her tips on how to plan the perfect family holiday in Africa, especially if you haven't visited yourself, advice to bear in mind and the extra essentials to pack.
Her attitude? Visiting Africa with kids isn't just about the amazing travel memories. Helping kids to see how different and how similar life is in these three countries has taught some valuable lessons - and proved that if you can tackle Disneyland, you can do anything.

Kidventures Family Travel Podcast - Episode 4: Camping with kids
It’s one of the classic family holidays – going camping. Whose kids don’t love the idea of curling up in a sleeping bag? But for parents who don’t fancy the idea of basic canvas, the Kidventures family travel podcast hosts are joined by Claire Hall, mum of two and ex-caravan owner, who writes the family travel blog Tinbox Traveller, and who’s been camping since she was a child herself.
From caravanning to glamping, pre pitched tents and how to make camping family-friendly for all the family, Claire has squeezed through tight caravan doors while heavily pregnant, taken her baby camping when weeks old, survived a tent nearly blowing away and a lot of glorious sunny escapes. She shares her tips on everything from packing to cooking, taking a first camping trip and exploring Europe on a camping holiday as well as why camping is perfect with young kids.
Her attitude? Arguments over tent poles definitely don’t need to be part of a great family camping trip – and kettle barbecues should definitely be on your list (ideally along with a husband who’ll make breakfast). Just don’t forget your knickers...
