Sometimes these repellants work sometimes they do not. I have tried the clip ons, bands, rings etc. at the end of the day you still need to use mosquito nets, odomos (on the walls/bed frames). This is the best remedy.

Also most of the NRI kids are allergic to mosquito bites. So be on the lookout for black marks post travel. Hopefully you dont have to face this.

@Dinny You can apply it on the bed frames and wipe it off later. Or you can apply it on the clothes instead of the body.

DEET is the best repellent as of now. OFF has DEETin it, I'm not sure abt Odomos but if others have used it and it worked, you might want to try. Any repellent that is safe for children is good, avoid aerosol type. Another thing that we usually forget is- water for brushing teeth should be same as drinking water (no tap water for kiddo) and also watch out for bath time, babies at this age try to drink water/play from bath tub ( mine does). You can also carry OFF aerosol and spray on clothes.
