I must admit that I was sceptical when a friend recommended this book to me. I have often travelled with my three young children and I thought I knew it all. However I now admit I was wrong. This Rough Guide is full of useful advice, but most importantly it is sensible and not patronising. The author treats her readers as intelligent beings and that makes a huge difference - to me at least.
The book is also full of real examples of family holidays that have gone well and not so well, which often make fascinating reading (it may seem obvious, but do keep an eye on your children when trekking across mountain ranges in Nepal!).
I particularly liked the way the book covers different specific areas of the world - both obvious holiday destinations and more unusual places - and tackles cultural differences, for example those countries where it is advisable to breastfeed in private, or cover even young children on the beach. What sort of loos to expect in Eastern Europe, what age you will need a car booster seat in various countries and where children can travel free on public transport etc etc etc. The list of practical, money and time saving tips is endless and I thoroughly recommend it to anyone planning to travel with their children - you may even enjoy yourself!

There's a great deal of good sensible stuff in this book however a good chunk of it is on health precautions and what to do in case of medical problems. Take care not to rely too heavily on this for the author is clearly not qualified to give medical advice in this way. The explanation on how oral rehydration 'works' is just plain wrong, for example.

How I wish I'd had this oh so useful tome when my son was little - as a lone parent I scooped him up and took off to various parts of the world and, though we managed, I carried him and my anxieties alone and hoped for the best. If I'd had the tips and reassurances that this book of travel revelations provides - such as packing advice (lists offered), how to cope with 'colds and ear problems in the air', 'common challenges' once you're 'there' and travellers' anecdotes - I would have been so much more at ease and less fevered by the time we reached our destination. It's a handbook that fits neatly and appropriately into the essential luggage space, offering invaluable nuggets of information which, in the rush of preparation, the fluster of arrival and the awe of 'being there', provide the support and back up that will make it all so much easier. A positive and practical book to accompany any journey with children in tow.
