Travel with Children -- Dining Tips:

  • Reinforce "the rules" -- remind your kids to use quiet voices, their best manners, and be on their best behavior
  • Stick to a schedule where possible -- Try to keep meal times on a similar schedule as when you are home.  This may be difficult if you're in a much different time zone.
  • Arrive Early -- your best bet when traveling is to eat early to avoid the crowds.  Eating at peak times may result in temper tantrums if waiting for a table or food takes too long to arrive.
  • Bring entertainment -- coloring books, small toys, stickers, whatever will keep your little one occupied
  • Order the Kids' meals first -- If possible, order kids' meals when placing your drink order so that it will arrive faster and give your children plenty of time to eat
  • Keep snacks handy in the backpack/diaper bag in case dinner takes too long to arrive
  • Discuss your trip during the meal -- hear more about what your kids enjoyed best, discuss what's next on the agenda, or remind them of special experiences you've alredy had
  • Eating out is special when on vacation -- let your kids have special treats (slushes, milkshakes, ice cream?) as long as they behave during the meal.  Bribery can do wonders...
  • Alternate who's got "kid duty" so that each parent gets some time to enjoy their meal
  • Take the Kids out if needed -- If the kids misbehave, take them outside for some time in the corner or a "time out"
  • Carry extra sippy cups and bendable straws with you -- many restaurants may not have kids' cups
  • Go to nicer restaurants at lunchtime instead of dinner -- appropriate attire may be more casual and children should be more welcomed
  • If in doubt about the appropriateness of children in a particular establishment, just ask!
