Traveling during this special time of the year can sometimes lose its luster. After all, you haven’t truly experienced travel stress until you attempt to do so with your children. Believe it or not, there are challenges involved in planning trips with kids of all ages. Luckily for me, I have a teen and a tween to bring that “interesting” element into any getaway that we plan.
The numbers don’t lie, 23% of parents in the US say one of their main concerns when traveling is keeping their kids entertained. Let me tell you, nobody gets bored as easily as a teenager. If I don’t constantly feed his need for stimulation and entertainment, he has no problem being vocal about just how boring the situation is. Offline viewing on Netflix has possibly saved my life, or his, depending on who you ask.
No matter if it’s for your littlest one, pre-teen or anyone in between, there are Netflix shows for everyone in the family to pack in their carry-on so you don’t have to suffer like I do. And it’s not just Netflix originals, check out the ‘Available for Download’ menu on the Netflix app on your mobile or tablet device and browse all of the titles available to take with you whenever and wherever you want. Trust me, you will thank me for it later…

I don’t know how I could ever live without Netflix. Not just traveling, but I ride my bike in a stationary trainer in the garage over winter, and Netflix SAVES me to make that time go by.
I would consider Netflix a must have life essential. Its one of my favorite gifts to give!
Love your post – it’s amazing how easily kids get bored nowadays m. When I was Growing up there was no such thing as computers, smartphones, etc. but somehow I was never bored.
We did two road trips this month. Who need a three-year-old could talk for 3 1/2 hours straight?! Netflix would have saved a bit of my sanity!
Great post! It’s fun for the kids to be entertained while on a long road trip. We’re planning on another road trip before year ends so I’m going to share this with my hubs.
I am a fan of Nexflix. I was late to the game but I’m all on board now. 🙂
I love offline viewing on Netflix! It’s definitely a lifesaver when we are driving an hour to visit Gma and Gpa.
Netflix is essential for my household when travelling as well. it makes the travel much more tolerable.
