Sit And Stand Stroller For Less
Tips for traveling with a 1 / 2 to 2 years?
I'll fly with my son next month for the first time alone. Unfortunetly we have to make a flight match before arriving at our destination. I decided to put a DVD player and movies. I'll call the airport to learn what I can do and what I can check. Can I check and carry items for both, since we pay for two tickets? I wondered if I had to put the seat on the plane, because I think it will be better to sit with her but I'm hook to match. I thought about buying a seat "and buggy" so I can push and all the baggage. What did you do to make your trip less stressful? Thank you advance!
The cardinal rule is: the light travel. The most important thing you can have your hands are free. When I travel with my (now 3 years old), son, my tactics will depend on the flight, we take And how we leave the airport. There are actually three parts to the flight desk to get ticket, pass through security and get on flights. You'll need to think through the three rooms in your journey. If you purchased two tickets, then yes, you have two baggage allowances. But watch out – bet you can not manage to get all these bags around the airport on your own. And it is interesting to note that no one bag can weigh more than 50 pounds, regardless of how many seats you have. Normally, I pack a suitcase with wheels, save my son's car seat in a backpack carrier (they sell for about $ 20 to Babies'R'Us) and load luggage on the other stroller. This argues against the use of a walk Sit – they do not have the cargo space below and the handlebars do not accept bags well, that whatsoever. I can barely walk from the car in the middle of drawing a ticket bag, stroller, wearing a seat and balance the rest of gear. I could not take an airport shuttle, so I allow more time to walk from parking to the airport – and pay extra to be a lot closer. When my son was about 2 years and 3 months, I stopped using his car seat on the flight. It has a little more freedom of movement on the car seat, which is excellent. I can even put the arm rest so he can snuggle against me. You can check with your three largest airline, but I always said that as my son can sit on the plane in a lap belt, there is no requirement it is in a car seat. The only time I keep the car seat with me now if I left the airport in the family car a member and can not happen before our luck baggage. So when I arrive at the box office, I check my car seat and the suitcase on wheels. This leaves me with my bag, my son bag, stroller, and, of course, my child. Sometimes I fly with my laptop, but I've never had a computer Portable / DVD player for a solo flight with my son. Between folding the stroller and our shoes all the craziness necessary to put the safety, I can not manage one more thing. We are going low tech for amusement … and it works just as well. Especially if you have short flights, the amount of time, you can use DVD player is probably not worth the weight of the catch and effort blame for consideration of safety. Once we through security, the rest is a breeze. We assemble the stroller, and ourselves and prepare to enjoy the flight. We used buy food from the other side of security, and I usually buy my son a new toy. I think I can get a good 30 minutes or so on a new Matchbox car or something similar. Now here is something to consider with your stroller – you'll have to check the door. And you will probably have to wait until your item is checked to be unloaded. I'd still recommend you take the stroller, but if your connection is tight, you can talk to the flight attendant. Some flight attendants bends over backwards to give you a helping hand … some are not very useful. But it is always politely ask if they can do something to speed up the process. No airline wants a mom and baby stranded. 
Finally, take deep breaths and try to enjoy flying. It can be incredibly stressful, but it can also be fascinating for your child. Good luck!
