Some toys
Toys are a child’s best friend. They keep them distracted and a child can keep on playing for hours. Pick some of his/her favourite toys and keep them handy so that you can give them whenever they cry or are getting cranky.

Books
Every child has his/her favourite book. The colourful illustrations fascinate them. The world of stories keeps the children engrossed for long time. It is also a good learning for the kid. Sometimes they get bored with toys so you can hand them a good book.

First aid kit
Children are active and like to run around. It can result in a fall from the swing or stumbling over a stone. A first aid kid is important so that you can stop the infection before it spreads. Keep a lot of bandages and some pills for motion sickness, stomach ache etc.

Diapers
This is a must when you are travelling with a toddler. Weather the journey is long or short, a child may require a change of diaper. A child is too small to tell when he/she wants to use the loo so make sure that he is wearing a diaper.

Blankets
Do not keep it when travelling alone but with kids it’s a different case. If you are travelling at night, it usually gets cold and the child tends to sleep so you should cover him with a blanket.

Snacks
The kids can get bored with the usual food and might get hungry besides meal times. Instead of buying unhygienic stuff on the way, pack some healthy snacks.
