Travel Insured Urges Families to Exercise Options to Costly Drive Vacations ...

East Hartford, CT (PRWEB) June 15, 2011

The flying family vacation with young children is alive this summer as an alternative to high gas prices for tiring, lengthy car trips. Parents can find airfare sales extending through the high travel season in a slumbering economy. Family travel planners should visit online fare tracking sites, such as Airfarewatchdog and SmarterTravel, to find recurring summer airfare deals from competing carriers with sale names such as "Cheeps," "Click 'n Save" "The Sand in Your Suit Sale," and others offering limited-time booking deals for 2011 summer and fall travel. Registering for fare alerts allows you to receive automatic email notices for your desired destination as each fare sale becomes available.

Parents planning to rent a car can save money and hassles by bringing child car seats and non-bulky strollers on flights without paying baggage fees for child items on most airlines. Some carriers allow seats to be carried on for children to use during flights. Others allow items, if not bulky, to be gate checked after being used to reach boarding gate waiting areas. Parents also skip the cost of renting a child car seat from a rental car company in their destination at prices of about $10 to $15 per seat per day.

Travel Insured International®, the leading independently-owned travel insurance company, reminds families to protect their vacation with a comprehensive travel insurance plan, including "kids free" insurance on several types of plans, to cover family bags, contents and personal effects against loss or delay by common carrier. Baggage loss and baggage delay with varying maximum coverage are included in all four plans included under Travel Insured's Worldwide Trip Protector umbrella brand.

Baggage Delay and Baggage & Personal Effects Loss

Baggage Delay coverage, included in the Worldwide Trip Protector, Worldwide Trip Protector Gold, Trip Protector Lite or Trip Protector Lite Expanded plan, reimburses up to $200, $300 or $500, depending upon the plan selected, for the replacement of necessary personal effects when your bags are delayed a minimum 12 or 24 hours, depending upon the selected plan, after your arrival at the destination.

Baggage & Personal Effects coverage, included in each of the four plans, covers up to $750 with a $50 deductible on the Trip Protector Lite or Lite Expanded plans, up to $1,000 on the Worldwide Trip Protector plan, or up to $2,500 on the Worldwide Trip Protector Gold plan when bags or personal effects are lost or damaged by common carrier.

Graco Stylus Travel System Snugride 30 Car Seat – Camille at ...

You want to share new experiences with baby. The StylusTM Travel System offers enhanced features to help you both explore in style. This impressive system includes the StylusTM Stroller, the top rated Graco® SnugRide® 30 Infant Car Seat, and stay-in-car base. Forget about having to wrestle your stroller closed-ours has a simple, one-hand gravity fold with a storage latch. It offers height-adjustable handle, two-cup parent’s tray, and a easy-access storage basket for your convenience, and a child’s tray with a cup/snack holder that pivots for easy entry and the multi-position, flat-reclining seat are designed for your little one’s benefit.

As a mom of three and having owned a wide variety of strollers over the years I love the way this stroller looks and rolls out of the box. To me, this is such a lightweight, easy to fold, unfold and load into the trunk item. It rolls so smoothly and turns on a dime. The parent holder looks so cool and CAN be WASHED!! My three year old son fit well on the back seat and the smile he had on his face when I pointed out the handles so he could stand securely on the back told me he’ll actually stay on this in the mall. My six year old, 43 pound daughter rode on the back with no weight in the front seat and the stroller felt sturdy and not at all like tipping back. Out of the box this beats any of the Peg Perego or Graco strollers we’ve owned in the past. I’ll update this review after I’ve used it with the new baby on the front and put some miles on this wonderful stroller!

12/20/2008 After using this stroller for over a year and a half I still love it. My now just turned five year old loves to sit or stand on the back and I almost never have to fight to get him to stay on it. Practically, my older child has to sit a little hunched forward when the baby’s sleeping and it’s reclined all of the way back, but he can stand with no problem. Also, it’s a little hard to get my diaper bag in the attached storage area, but that’s just me being picky. The parent storage is wonderful and I’m so glad I have the zippered area for keys and can put my phone and drink and other stuff safely tucked away. Airline boarding passes fit perfectly! 1 1/2 years later it still pushes effortlessly and is perfect rounding clothes racks a the mall and navigating at restaurants. I love my stroller and still recommend it to people that ask about it.
