Vital Card A wonderful tool for anyone traveling with special needs. A must have in my opinion!
What would you do if your child was involved in an accident and you weren't there or able to communicate their complex medical and surgical history?
As seniors you have worked hard to get to the golden years of retirement, travel, enjoying the good life.
How would the EMTs and ER staff know what your child was allergic to before they exposed him?
ELIMINATE THE STRESS and miscommunication during time of an accident or health emergency. Vital Card®

Airlines
Southwest Airlines I have traveled with this carrier several times with Katie. They are a no frills first come first serve seating carrier. However, anyone who has special needs or are traveling with children may board priority and get first choice of seating. They were very considerate and helpful when I flew with them. At the time Katie was about10 months old and I was 7 months pregnant traveling alone. I found them to be very helpful! No meals are served as is the norm on most domestic routes these days.
