5 Tips for Traveling in the City with Kids

Traveling in the city with kids can be a fun and exciting experience. But, it can also be a bit overwhelming if you’re not prepared. The streets are busy, and it’s easy for kids to get overwhelmed. Navigating the streets in your rental from Empire Rent A Car can add to the chaos. So, we’re here with our top five tips for traveling in the city with kids.

1. Rent a Spacious Vehicle

When you're traveling with kids, it's essential to have enough room to store all of your belongings and keep everyone comfortable. Renting an SUV from one of our locations is an excellent option because it provides plenty of space for both passengers and luggage.

2. Plan Excursions Ahead of Time

Before you head into the city, make sure you plan your excursions ahead of time. This includes buying tickets to any museums or shows and planning the time it will take to get to your destination.

3. Pack the Kids' Essentials

Make sure you have all the necessary items for your trip, including diapers, wipes, snacks, and any other essentials. It's also a good idea to bring a first aid kit in case of any accidents or injuries.

4. Put Young Ones in Strollers

If you have more than one young child, it's wise to put them in strollers while navigating the sidewalks and parks around New York City. This isn't just for your peace of mind, but it also guarantees they don't wander off into a crowd. 

5. Have Fun

Traveling with kids in New York City can be overwhelming, but it's important to try and have fun! Do things that the entire family can enjoy, and try new foods you don't normally have at home. It's all about experiencing new things when you're in the city.
