TIPS FOR TRAVELLING IN THE HEAT WITH KIDS

Choose your destination wisely

Be very careful of where you travel to, but mostly when. The top end of Australia is an absolute no go during summer with kids. I’d consider that a waste of time and money.

Know your kids’ sign

Flushed faces, glazed and droopy eyes, curt replies, I can tell pretty quickly if we are going into heat-affected meltdown. Once I see the signs, I spring into action. Water, food, sit down and rest. Move to a shade or cooler area.

Head to the water

Cotton is best for breathing. Lightweight, light-colored clothing is best. Opt for loose-fitting garments that allow air to circulate against the skin. 

Wear light, loose clothing
