Luggage Diaper

Traveling with my 2 1/2 year old ... (airplane)?

Does he need a car seat??
I'm buying him a seat, but does he need a carseat?.. i'm traveling alone and dragging a him, luggage, diaper bag and a car seat doesn't sound easy!

Is there a place to change his diaper on the airplane??

What are the rules with liquid like juice and milk??
are their any rules about snacks?

thanks for any help!

Will you have a car seat at your destination for him to use? If not, then you should bring his car seat. Car seats can be used on the plane as long as they are approved for air travel. Look at the bottom of the seat, if it is approved for air travel there will be a stamp or sticker saying so. Technically, he does not need the car seat while on the plane, however, it is safer for him to use it. He'll also be more comfortable in it as it is familiar to him.

If you don't want to use the seat on the plane, but will need to use it at your destination you could check the car seat with your luggage. The airline will usually place the seat in a large plastic bag to keep it clean.

Try to curb check your luggage when you get to the airport so you have less to carry. Consider using a backpack as a diaper bag so you can have your hands free. You can also use your stroller in the airport and gate check it right before you board the plane. The stroller will be waiting for you outside the plane when you arrive at your destination.

Changing his diaper on the plane can be a challenge as the bathrooms are small. Some of the larger planes are equipped with handicapped accessible lavatories which are larger and sometimes have fold down changing tables. If possible, try changing him while he's standing (if he's only wet). You'll need to practice this at home before you go, but it will be much easier to have him stand on the toilet in the restroom while you pull off the wet diaper and put on a new one (pull ups are good for this, no tabs to deal with). Poopy diapers will still require him to lay down which will be a challenge. The flight attendants can often recommend the best place to change your child.

You'll want to bring extra diapers, wipes and clothes in the diaper bag/carry on as you never know when your plane may be delayed. Some kids have major 'blowout' diapers when they fly due to the unfamiliar surroundings and noises. You should also carry zip top bags to put the dirty diapers or soiled clothes in as no one wants to smell poo for hours on end.

For rules regarding liquids you should visit the TSA website http://www.tsa.dhs.gov/travelers/airtravel/children/index.shtm You are allowed to bring milk in larger quantities but you must declare the items to the TSA screener. The website will give you all the info you need.

Most airlines offer apple, orange, cranberry and tomato juices on the air plane as well as some milk. You may want to purchase a bottle of juice after you clear security before you get on the plane as the beverage service usually doesn't start until 30 minutes or so after takeoff.

You can bring snacks from home (a great idea actually). Stick to foods your child is familiar with, don't require refrigeration or re heating and that pack well and come in individual servings. Some good ideas are individual packages/boxes of dry cereal (Cheerios, Fruit Loops, Life, Chex, etc), granola or Nurtigrain bars, string cheese, peanut butter sandwich crackers, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (in disposable plastic containers so they don't get smushed), baby carrots, apple slices, small packages of cookies or crackers, '100 Calorie' packs, M&Ms, and other finger foods.

Foods that are a liquid, gel or paste consistency must be in containers of 3.4oz/100ml or less and must fit into one 1qt zip top bag. This would include items such as applesauce, jello, pudding, yogurt, soup, etc. If you want to take yogurt I suggest GoGurt or Trix yogurt which comes in tubes. Simply snip off the top and suck the yogurt out, no spoon needed.

Make sure you arrive at the airport with plenty of time to check your bags, clear security and find your gate. Take advantage of pre boarding so you can get settled before everyone else begins boarding. If you are taking the car seat you may want to review the owner's manual before your trip to familiarize yourself with how to install it in the air plane seat. (If you can't find the owner's manual, go to the manufacturer’s website and download or request a new one)

The Wine Diaper: Protects Wine in Your Luggage



traveling with infant?

How do you travel on an airplane with an 1 yr old babygirl? Do I take a carry-on bag with diapers, formula,... then in the other luggage bag pack rest of diapers? I've never flown with my babygirl or husband before.

Does the carry on bag have to be luggage or could it just be my diaper bag I use everyday? It'll be a trip to vegas, and only about 1 hour drive.

Alot of people have also said not to bring the carseat, and to just let my baby sit on my lap... BUT what do I do when we have to ride the bus/shuttle to the hotel from airport without a carseat?

Does anyone have any advice/tips for me n my husband please. We'll be gone about 5 days.

you are allowed your diaper bag in addition to your other carry-on items usually- check your airline website for details, they all have details on what you are allowed. Just pack what you regularly do- a few diapers, some wipes, change of clothes, and you are also allowed formula (must be mixed before you get to security), juice, snacks, diaper cream, or anything else your baby may need. Special accommodations are made for babies when it comes to these items. They will just check them out real quick when you are going through security.

DO bring your car seat and stroller. Most airlines do not count these items as additional checked items, you may bring them in addition to your checked baggage allowance for free. You can usually check the stroller right at the gate as well which is nice. Like I said, check your airline's website, all the information will be there.

**all you do is pick your car seat up with your other luggage, so if you are getting in a car right after you land, you will need it!! it's not a big deal to "lug" around, it wasn't for me. I would find it more out of my way to find a place to go rent one from... I have never seen anyone install a seat on a bus, there aren't usually seat belts. If you are going to be renting or riding in a car, bring it, if not, you probably don't need it.. only you know
