A few weeks ago, I told you about our trip to Disney World with the kids. Well, as part of our traveling adventure, we flew with the three munchkins. Now, while some of you maybe thinking that my husband and I are crazy very brave for traveling with little one’s, I do have to say that the trip wasn’t all that bad.
I carried Sweetheart on my lap in a Baby Bjorn and Bruiser sat next to me in his own seat. Across the aisle (we couldn’t all sit next to each other because of rules with the oxygen masks) my hubby had Sparkles on his lap.
I did do a post last year about flying with infants, but haven’t yet written about flying with toddlers. Until I get around to writing that post, I will tell you about a few things that worked for us on this trip.
- Kid’s Headsets: These came in handy for watching the airplane tv’s and for watching shows on our iphones.
- Fisher Price Doodler: My kids like to draw and color, but I didn’t want to deal with the mess. These travel-size doodlers worked well.
- Snacks: Lots and lots and lots of snacks were key.
- Stuffed Animal and Blanket: The stuffed animal did double duty as a play companion and a pillow.
Happy travels!

Thanks Rachelle. It is so nice to hear a flight attendant happy to see a bunch of little ones flying. It is really a great experience for them. Hope you enjoy some fun trips with your your bambino!
