There are a multitude of family travel medical issues and family safety that arise when travelling with the kids or taking a family holiday from the simple cuts and grazes that kids may get to the more serious matters such as adequate sun protection, a good first aid kit, safe water and food and good practices for health and safety when travelling with your family.
There is no substitute for taking proper medical advice though and while here we give a few pointers in no way should this or anything on this site be considered to be medical advice or definitive.
