FLYING WITH A BUSY TODDLER - TIPS AND iDEAS

Concerned about flying with a busy toddler? Here are my happy tips to help put you at ease...
​

• Get to the airport nice early so you can all have a good meal before the flight, and your little one can have a run around so they are worn out by the time they get on the plane.
• Take a stroller with you through to the departure lounge, it will be so much easier for you to get through the busy airport. The airline should take it from you and put in the hold. 
• Try and book the extra leg room seats if you can, the more space the better!
• Take lots of snacks with you. If your baby/toddler is still drinking milk ask the air stewards for some just before you take off. This will help their ears, and it will be a comfy distraction. 
• Pack a handful of small new toys for your toddler in your hand luggage. Get a different one out every hour or so for them to play with. 
• Take a couple of sticker/colouring books with you. Make sure you remember the crayons! 
• Take spare clothes for them, just in case they have an accident of spill their food. (this happens to us all of the time)
• Layer up, as the air conditioning can get a little cold. 
• Take at least 8 spare nappies with you, in case your plane is delayed or your luggage is lost (god forbid).
