Travelling to Anna Maria with Young Children Can Be Easy

Whether you’re off to Grandma’s beach house or staying in a hotel, vacation home or villa on Anna Maria Island; packing can prove to be rather challenging. Add in a kid or two and your blood pressure is sure to go up. Don’t pack enough toys or things to keep them busy and you might spend a day pulling your hair out because the children have decided to run circles around you.

Pack everything and you won’t be able to lift your bags not to mention the fact that luggage fees for a family can add up fast.

Either way, these additional fees can be outrageous especially when many airlines these days charge you for your first checked bag. A family of four with just one checked bag each could end up costing you an additional $100 or more for a round trip flight. Now think about what happens when infants or toddlers are a part of the equation. The list of things you need to bring just about doubles.

Luckily, some basic tips can lighten the load as well as the stress level.

Traveling with kids; especially young ones, involves a lot of parafenalia. The size of the luggage is definitely not proportionate to the size of the person needing it, and you’ll find that packing for your little ones takes about three times as long as packing for yourself! Figuring out ways to pack light is now a matter of cost, not just convenience. Take the necessities and rent the toddler and baby equipment. Its easy and very cost effective and the best part – you don't have to lug it around with you.

As for toys, only bring what can fit into your carry-on to keep them occupied on the plane or in the car. All the other baby supplies from cribs to highchairs, excersaucers to bouncers can all be rented and waiting for you at your vacation home when you arrive. You can even rent indoor and outdoor toys, which your children will definitely appreciate as its always more fun to play with something new rather than the old toys from home anyway.

Don't let the amount of luggage dictate the type of holiday you have. You can enjoy your Anna Maria Island vacation to its fullest. Leave the stroller at home so you don't have to worry about it taking up the trunk space of the taxi or rental car and add it to your rental order. Anna Maria equimpent rentals really have everything you need to relax and have fun.

The first time you plan a holiday with your child can be a little bit daunting. Gone are the days of lounging on the beach, sipping cocktails and dancing the night away.

Yep, kids certainly change things, but there’s no reason you can’t have an amazing trip with them in tow. Why not rent bikes and literally tow them behind in a trailer. Sure, things will have to be more carefully planned, but whether you’re off on your first or your fourth family vacation, holidaying with kids is both doable and enjoyable. Really!
