Which mosquito repellant to use for kids?

[mommymy]

Hi,

Hope this is the right forum to post in. Which mosquito repellant do you use for your kids? We'll be travelling to Asia soon and I'll need a good repellant. Do the "natural" repellants work or do you think I'll need something with deet? If you have any experience (success,no success) with certain brands I'd appreciate your input. Thanks.

We bought a 10% citronella brand. The kids wear long sleeves when possible and we avoid outside during prime biting times. I've never used deet, we've never needed it, if I felt like we did, I'd do some more research, not sure about it.
