Yes, Vietnam is a safe country for travelers of all ages, even small kids. There are many factors that make this country become a friendly destination for families: stable politics, healthy food, welcoming people, and ideal tropical weather.

The most important thing every parent should notice is traffic safety for children since the road traffic in Vietnam is quite chaotic and not safe for careless pedestrians. You should pay attention closely to your child when passing the streets.

Moreover, here are some useful tips for you to have a smooth trip in Vietnam with kids: 

• Bring bug repellents: To avoid being bitten by mosquitoes, as this country features a tropical climate with high humidity.
• Choose the best time to travel: Mar - Apr & Sep - Oct is the time when Vietnam experiences the most pleasant weather, suitable for small children to adapt.
• Carry sunscreen & hat: If you travel during the hot season, these things will prevent you from heat stroke and getting sunburnt from strong sunlight at noon.

Usually, a family trip from 10 to 20 days is perfect. Since you will travel with your kids, a not-too-rushing itinerary is an ideal choice for your family: 

• Below 10 days: You should choose to explore one specific region of Vietnam (North/ Central/ South)
• From 10 - 15 days: The duration is fine for a complete Vietnam trip from North to South.
• Above 15 days: If you have more time, a journey with more than 15 days will enable your family to add beach relaxation to the program.
