Passport? Check. Credit cards? Got 'em. Consent forms? These days, there are dozens of scenarios where you might need them. Like if Gram and Granddad bring your kids with them on vacation.  Or if you're a single parent traveling out of the country with your children. Or if you leave your children at home with relatives while you take a business trip. 

Forms4Parents.com is a web site that lets parents customize legal consent forms to their particular family situation. You can specify travel authority, temporary custodial authority, or medical authority with important information about your child, along with emergency contacts and necessary insurance information.  Forms can be purchased individually or as packages ("traveling with relatives," "babysitter or relatives caring for children" ).

Individual forms cost $16.95 and packages are $34.95. Now through September 1, you'll nab a 25% discount if you enter the promotional code "SUMMERTRAVEL."
