March
If you flew with a toddler ( 18 months ), what kept your little one occupied for a while? We have a long overseas flight ahead of us.I expect he won't sit for 8 hours, but I would like to find out what are some best little toys to pack. Thank you so much for the tips!
Answer
Portable DVD player.
Stickers.
Play-dough.
Colouring books but be prepared to have to keep crouching down on to the floor to pick up the crayons.
Etch-a-sketch is handy.
Little story books and her favourite teddy.
A good idea is to wrap up little toys in gift-wrap and put them in a bag and every half hour or so let her choose one.
Bring plenty of drinks and snacks.
His little ears might hurt so make sure you have a bottle or soother or something similar for him to suck on when taking off and landing.
It can be a nightmare travelling with babies so just ignore anyone who tut tuts about his making noise. It seems like a long flight but you'll get there in the end! Good luck.

Traveling with a toddler?
Isabella's
We are going to Hawaii in 8 days and I just want some advice because our daughter has never traveled by plane. She's almost 3. The flight is only 6 hours non-stop and I'm really not TOO worried about that because she is a pretty well-behaved kid and we plan on bringing the portable DVD player and a few toys(any other tips are welcome). I know food and drinks are not allowed but 6 hours without a snack might be a problem...will they be ok with me bringing a bag of animal crackers and a juice box for her? Also, am I not allowed to pack extra snacks and such for when we get to the hotel? Or do I have to just buy those things when we arrive in Hawaii? ANY advice is welcome even if I haven't asked...I've never traveled with her before so ALL advice/tips are welcome! Thanks so much!
Answer
I fly by plane with my toddler every 3 months to visit the family that is the closest.
They WILL allow you to bring a snack and drink for them. The container has to be able to be closed. A juice box will work, though. Use a sippy cup or a thermos because they WILL open it at security to test what's inside. I always brought milk for my son when he was a little younger for the longer flights. He is 3 now and doesn't travel 6 hours regularly on the plane (every 3 months it's just 1.5 hour flights) so I don't bring it anymore. No more than 4 ounces in each container.
You can bring snacks and as many as you want. I brought an entire carry-on of wrapped food from Japan on the plane. It has to be wrapped. It can't be left overs in a container but a sandwich that'd you pick up at 711 that's in plastic and anything else wrapped in plastic.
Don't stop at McDonalds and get a cheeseburger, because that's not the wrapped I'm talking about and you will have to throw it away.
You no longer have to take her shoes off in security so don't worry about that but make sure you are aware of everything you do need to put on the belt. Make your life as easy as possible.
