I recently did a Britax Marathon in a backpack carrier (so I'd have free hands for stroller and other bag) and omg it was heavy/awkward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-forms-of-travel-with-kids-scare-you-most#post-1579826 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 19:45:05 +0000 T-Mom 1579826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be scared of boat rides, but now that we've done one successfully with the kids I feel way better. International plane rides, check. All that's left now is a super long car ride... We haven't done anything over 4 hr but I think it would be ok with lots of stops... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-forms-of-travel-with-kids-scare-you-most#post-1579685 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 16:32:26 +0000 chopsuey 1579685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hurmm. Car rides are really pleasant now that DD is older. DS has always been good in the car.<br /> Kids do well in the plane, but flying always makes me a little nervous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-forms-of-travel-with-kids-scare-you-most#post-1579660 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 16:11:17 +0000 Arden 1579660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh the car, for sure. I want to be able to hold or wear her, which I can do on pretty much any form of transport. I hate having to strap her into a car seat for long periods of time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-forms-of-travel-with-kids-scare-you-most#post-1579651 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 15:57:19 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1579651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boat. I'd be scared of them getting seasick (not to mention me), and we'd have no way of getting off!</p> <p>Not to mention all the scary boat stories in the media, like the carnival cruises, and the ship that sank and killed all those students in Korea. So sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-forms-of-travel-with-kids-scare-you-most#post-1579649 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 15:49:29 +0000 winniebee 1579649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still flights even though we fly a lot. Because every one is a long one and at least if he cries in the car he is only bothering me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-forms-of-travel-with-kids-scare-you-most#post-1579607 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 14:46:27 +0000 birdofafeather 1579607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hm, we've done lots of car time, which isn't fun by any means, but doesn't scare me. i'd have to say that i wouldn't be super excited about a bus ride! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-forms-of-travel-with-kids-scare-you-most#post-1579596 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 14:38:03 +0000 sera_87 1579596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Greyhound bus rides. Noooooo thank you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-forms-of-travel-with-kids-scare-you-most#post-1579532 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 13:31:29 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1579532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Car rides!!</p> <p>I can handle flights with LO okay. But I would never drive more than 3-4 hours with LO. I'm too scared.</p> <p>I'm excited for the day when he'll be old enough to road trip to NY - it's a 24 hour drive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-forms-of-travel-with-kids-scare-you-most#post-1579516 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 13:19:25 +0000 looch 1579516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boat. We've only been on one boat ride and omg I was a nervous Nellie . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-forms-of-travel-with-kids-scare-you-most#post-1579513 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 13:17:44 +0000 sunny 1579513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Car. It used to be plane but I think it is actually easier if you can let them run around for short spurts. With the car, if she isn't sleeping she hates being strapped in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-forms-of-travel-with-kids-scare-you-most#post-1579490 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 12:57:03 +0000 teamjse 1579490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Car, lo will start getting upset if the trip takes more than an hour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-forms-of-travel-with-kids-scare-you-most#post-1579440 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 12:14:43 +0000 Andrea 1579440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would rather fly if it is quicker than being in the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-forms-of-travel-with-kids-scare-you-most#post-1579437 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 12:12:03 +0000 MamaMoose 1579437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Car for sure. Plane is easier because I can hold her and entertain her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-forms-of-travel-with-kids-scare-you-most#post-1579427 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 11:59:17 +0000 matador84 1579427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Car! I can't be in control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-forms-of-travel-with-kids-scare-you-most#post-1579423 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 11:56:34 +0000 Mrs. Deer 1579423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely long car rides! We've done a 15 hour drive (over 2 days) three times now and it's not fun! Doable, but definitely not fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-forms-of-travel-with-kids-scare-you-most#post-1579405 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 11:36:15 +0000 mrbee 1579405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to worry so much before we got on long flights with the kids! But ever since we survived some long international flights, I don't worry any more... plus, the kids are older so they're easier to predict.</p> <p>Long car rides are actually harder since the kids have to stay strapped in, plus there's a higher chance of travel sickness and vomiting. We drove down to Chesapeake Bay last year, and the vomit was the worst part.</p> <p>Which forms of travel with kids scare you most? </p>
