At Atchison Transportation Services, we’re proud to serve people of all ages, big and small. We have picked children up from the Greenville/Spartanburg Airport and shuttled entire families from one end of the country to the other. For over 65 years, we have served all different types of people and, in all honesty, we’ve been around the block a few times. We have seen what works and what doesn’t work when traveling with children. Therefore, we wanted to offer our own expert advice on how to make traveling with children easier.

Choosing Your Seat Wisely

Whether you are taking a trip with our large motor coach or having fun around town in our shuttle buses, choosing the seat your child will sit in can make all the difference during your travels. If you are on a motor coach with a bathroom, choosing to be closer to it may be more convenient for the child when they’ve got to go to the potty. Additionally, as long as the child has no qualms about a window seat, go ahead and let them take a look at where they are going! Not only will it spark questions and conversations about where you are headed, but it will keep your little one from standing up and down in the aisle.

Booking in Advance

All it takes is one bad experience in a cab ride with a driver that should never be allowed to be around children. If you wish to avoid less than ideal experiences while you travel, being proactive about your transportation plans is essential. This is especially true with Atchison Transportation Services. Booking with us means that we can handle all of your travel needs from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. You never have to worry about your safety or the professionalism of your driver while your precious children are in our vehicles. All of our chauffeurs are drug tested, DOT licensed and certified and wear professional attire.

Think About What Best Suits Your Family

As a transportation service, we have seen a variety of family types and child personalities. Some kids prefer snacks all day long, others prefer to pass their travel time with games and some even sleep! It’s not fair for us to tell you what is right or wrong as every family and every child is different. Understanding your family needs can be one of the greatest ways to avoid a large meltdown or grumpy kid at the end of the day. At Atchison Transportation Services, we are here to help with that too. We can accommodate different requests that you may have in regards to what is most ideal for you and what makes traveling with your children easier. Whether that’s taking more frequent breaks or pointing out all the different landmarks along the way, our drivers are here to accommodate you.
