KEEPING KIDS SAFE AROUND THE CARAVAN

KEEPING KIDS SAFE FEATURE

Caravanning with loved ones is a great way to relax, spend quality time together and let your hair down. For your youngest family members, caravanning and camping is a chance for them to have a bit of freedom and explore the great outdoors — interacting with nature instead of staring at a screen. However, having access to so much freedom in the great outdoors — at times away from phone reception and civilisation — comes with some risks. Keeping your kids safe around camp may seem simple, but there are a few things to consider to ensure that everyone gets home safe and sound. Here are some safety tips to consider when caravanning with your little ones.

Be prepared

When it comes to keeping your kids safe while on the road, there's a range of things you can do before you've even left home. Firstly, sit your children down to discuss where you're headed on your adventure and why. Setting expectations before you've left home can alleviate a lot of stress for all involved and it helps the kids understand what's coming and what to expect. Some children can get anxious about the unknown, so it helps to prepare them mentally for what's ahead.
