# TotsAndTrips

> Family travel destination guides, side-by-side comparisons, and age-aware itineraries — ranked by TotScore, a transparent 0–100 family-travel rating.

TotsAndTrips helps parents plan vacations with children from babies through teens (and multi-gen trips with grandparents). Every destination is scored 0–100 on Safety, Terrain (stroller-friendliness, calm beaches, shade), Transit Ease (door-to-door friction from the reader's home airport), Kid Food, and an editorial Kid Rating. All 6 age groups — baby, toddler, school-age, tween, teen, multi-gen — are supported across itineraries.

Core proprietary content includes TotScore, a 0–100 family-travel rating per destination; Friction → Fix blocks that pair parent pain points with practical tactics or gear; Smart Packing Lists generated by destination, child age, terrain, flight length, and climate; and cruise comparisons across major family cruise lines.
