Lodging
What to consider when choosing lodging
- 1
Look for lodging with a kitchen or mini fridge
Having somewhere to store snacks and bottles makes the routine much easier with young kids, especially on longer trips.
- 2
Choose ground-floor rooms or places with an elevator
This avoids having to carry a stroller or extra luggage up and down stairs.
- 3
Confirm the policy on kids sharing a room
Some properties have specific age rules and extra charges for additional children in the room, so it's worth confirming before booking.
- 4
Choose destinations with direct flights when possible
Fewer connections mean less time waiting at the airport with kids, which usually makes the trip much smoother.
Planning
Documentation for traveling with kids
For domestic trips, Brazilian children generally need to present their own identification document or birth certificate. When a child travels with just one parent or with other adults, specific authorization may be required — it's worth confirming the current rules before booking.
Flights
When booking your flight
When searching for flights on Viajante Promo's search engine, it's worth checking schedules that avoid your child's nap time and reviewing the baggage policy for items like strollers, which can usually be checked at no extra cost.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Do children pay full fare on domestic flights?
Lap infants generally pay a reduced fare, while children who occupy their own seat pay full fare. It's worth confirming the current rule with your chosen airline.
Which of these destinations is best for young babies?
Beaches with calm natural pools, like Porto de Galinhas, tend to be gentler for babies than beaches with rougher surf.
Do I need to bring a car seat for a rental car?
Yes, Brazilian traffic law requires the use of a restraint device appropriate for the child's age.
Is Gramado a good option outside winter?
Yes, the theme parks run year-round, although the cold winter weather is a separate draw for those looking for that experience.
Is it worth traveling with kids outside peak season?
Definitely — besides lower prices, destinations tend to be less crowded, which makes getting around with young kids easier.
