Travelling tips and how to keep children safe at train stations and airports

With the festive season fast approaching and many families planning to travel to visit friends and loved ones, provider of child-friendly re-useable wristbands, Raw Labels is offering practical advice to parents on how to keep their children safe at train stations and airports.

These busy transport hubs can be chaotic at the best of times, but with so many more people flocking to airports and train stations during the Christmas season, it can become a source of real panic for parents with young children and luggage to keep an eye on.

With this in mind, Raw Labels are offering three tips to help reduce travel stress and keep children with their parents while waiting for trains and planes.

The first piece of advice offered by Raw Labels is a game to help children identify trusted adults, such as train station, airport staff, police officers or security guards just in case they should lose sight of their parents.

Download some images from the internet and teach your children to identify them as soon as they reach the station or airport so you can rest easy knowing they’ll be approaching a trusted adult should they get lost.

As many young children have problems communicating their identity and names of their parents, a re-useable ID wristband is an essential safeguard to help reunite lost children with their families.

Raw Labels manufactures such a product that contains the child’s name and your mobile telephone number plus a colourful cartoon image that children love to wear, so it’s a great way to ensure that you can be easily contacted by train station or airport staff when travelling.

Finally, it’s important to re-enforce the issue of stranger danger when you are passing through a crowded airport or train station. Although many members of the public mean well, your child won’t know the difference between a kind stranger or dubious character, so insist they only approach or talk to a trusted adult and understand why they should never go anywhere without a trusted adult present.

Sven Miller from Raw Label said “Christmas is a wonderful time of year for children, but when travelling as a family it can be a real source of stress for parents.

By putting appropriate safeguards in place and proving your child with one of our re-useable ID wristbands, you can relax and enjoy the journey knowing that you’ve done all that you can to keep your little ones safe in airports and train stations.”
