For parents, or parents, planning a family vacation can be a daunting task especially if you haven’t done your homework on kid-friendly travel options.

Thomas Cook Kids First is a unique Kid Reviewed, Parent Approved program that offers video reviews of top destinations from a kid’s perspective – kid reviewed family resorts – and expert advice from knowledgeable Kids First travel specialists and exclusive partner offers.

The vacation spots are listed in a user-friendly chart listing all the services and amenities designed for family travel. The resorts are sorted by area and hotel with a chart listing whether the resort offers a kids club, baby club, is great for families, has added value and offers even single parents specials and deals for larger families (5+).

If you book a Thomas Cook Kids First Christmas Vacation, you’ll also receive up to $500 in added value.

Thomas Cook is also running a contest to win a family trip to Beaches Ocho Rios in Jamaica! Kids and parents are encouraged to create a video about a family vacation they have taken. Kid reviewed vacations! The vacation could have been taken anywhere in the world.

If you don’t have a video you can also tell your story in pictures with a description of your vacation memory. The Contest ends on January 15, 2012 so try to give yourself time to submit your video on time!
