How to go on a train with a child of 1.5 years
A train ride can be funor become a torment for the child and parents. Everything depends on the preparation for the long journey and the correct understanding of what constitutes a long-term stay in a practically enclosed space.
A trip with a small child by train - which type of accommodation to choose
Very often parents try to save money and notbuy a separate ticket for the child. Indeed, up to 4-6 years (depending on the direction), the kid can go on the same shelf with his mother or father for a free travel card. But the pluses, except for minimizing costs, in this way of traveling on the train there. The shelves in the cars are very narrow, and at night it will be very difficult to accommodate the two of them. In addition, children often change their position during sleep, and by their movement they can awaken an adult. The trip will turn into a heavy sleepless marathon. Therefore, if the funds allow, the child must necessarily purchase a separate ticket. An additional shelf is always useful, even so that you can rest during the day while the baby is playing or drawing. The maximum comfortable type of accommodation on the train is NE. Given the purchase of two tickets - adult and child, neighbors during the journey will not appear. It is very convenient. Passengers are different, someone used to read late, without turning off the lights, someone drinks a beer on a trip, someone smokes, constantly going out into the vestibule and slamming the door. All this will interfere with the normal rest of the baby and parents. Therefore, if you have a certain amount of money, it is better to buy SV tickets or to buy a coupe entirely. What to take with you on the road
To the baby was not bored on the trip, you needin advance to buy a pair of new toys, a bright book, plasticine, markers, an album. This will help to take the child in between sleep and food. In addition, young children are very fond of watching the changing landscape outside the window. This lesson will also enable parents to rest a little. In addition to toys and a set for creativity, it is worth taking care of the baby's nutrition. If the road is long - from two days or more, perishable products - yogurt, chicken, cottage cheese, can be consumed only in the first day. Two days they can be preserved only in the refrigerator bag. Then the child can be fed with baby porridges, which are brewed with water from the heater near the conductor compartment. Also suitable fruit - oranges, apples, bananas. At stations you can buy fresh bread. In addition, it is necessary to stock up on delicious cookies - it does not spoil for a long time and will become a wonderful breakfast or a snack, if you drink it with juice or tea. Be sure to take care of the baby's hygiene. To take a shower in the train is often not possible. Therefore, store damp napkins, diapers, absorbent diapers. Do not forget about several sets of change clothes - children of one and a half years are very often spoiled. Be sure to grab the pot on the train if the baby is already weaned from diapers. To go to the shared toilet is not very pleasant, besides many cars are not yet equipped with modern bio-conveniences, which means that for the time of stops (and they can be long), the cherished rooms are closed. And if adults can suffer, the baby is quite difficult. During long parking it is best to go out into the street. This will provide the baby with new impressions, will give an opportunity to stretch the muscles, help to brighten up the waiting time for the departure of the train.
