Infant Travel - General ConsiderationsGeneral ConsiderationsChanges in schedule, activities, and environment can be stressful for children. Including them in planning for the trip and bringing along familiar toys or other objects can decrease these stresses. For children with chronic illnesses, decisions regarding timing and itinerary should be made in consultation with a health-care provider(s). As for any traveler, insurance coverage for illnesses and accidents while abroad should be verified before departure. Consideration should be given to purchasing special travel insurance for airlifting or air ambulance to an area with adequate medical care. In case family members become separated, each infant or child should carry identifying information and contact numbers in their own clothing or pockets. Because of concerns about illegal transport of children across international borders, if only one parent is traveling with the child he or she may need to carry relevant custody papers or a notarized permission letter from the other parent.
