Going on a holiday with kids is always a challenge -- from planning the destination to the tour itinerary and down to the nitty-gritty's of packing or getting that all-important window seat for your little one. As an answer to your last-minute prayers, www.travelwithyourkids.com will handhold you through this very vital part of a kid's growing-up years -- a big, fat vacation.

Created by parents for parents, it is a goldmine of information of every conceivable hurdle that might play spoilsport to your kid's holiday plans. Destinations are spelt out from London to Bermuda, New York and inlcudes localised places like the Grand Canyon. The Before You Go section looks at every aspect, from whether your kid needs a passport, to packing, travel during pregnancy, health and medicinal information and even the kinds of suitcase that would fit the holiday. Too detailed? Trust us, it goes a long way in ensuring a wail-free vacation.

Other sections like On the Plane break it down into the minutest of details -- from kids flying alone to meals on board and choice of seats. Once you've reached your destination too, there's enough dope to keep the parent engaged on handy checklists.

Another section on penpals was particularly interesting and made for perfect sense in these times. This website provides for a terrific insight into the minute details that might slip off the minds of parents before planning that oh-so-cool vacation with their kids.

Clean layouts, user-friendly pages and easy-to-negotiate tool bars ensure parents don't waste time. Parents in India will warm up to this site as well. Though we would have preferred a wider range of location options. Overall, it's bound to strike a chord for the always-in-a-hurry parent, in search of quick-fix options for their demanding five-year-old.
