What Is A Good Age To Travel With Your Child?

There was a question posted over at Mamapedia regarding a good age to travel with your child.  The poster brought their 2.5-month-old on a 9hr road trip and feared the experience threw their baby out of whack and their routine out the window.  Since babies grow and develop so rapidly in their first year, is there an ideal time to travel?
