Editorial policies & standards

Our mission

Kid Compatible exists to make family travel easier by putting families first. While families are often overlooked in travel guides and reviews, we view every destination through the lens of traveling with children. Our expert team creates comprehensive guides that help parents confidently plan trips, knowing exactly what to expect at each location. We focus on the details that matter most to families - from practical amenities to age-appropriate activities - so you can find great places to visit and create memorable experiences together.
