Proper Planning for Children Makes Traveling a Breeze
...courtesy of Tipworld
To keep your baby and other passengers happy while
traveling by plane,
try these ideas:
* Give the baby something to drink during take-off and
landing.
This will minimize discomfort to ears when cabin pressure
changes.
* Take your car seat if you can and strap in the baby.
This can be much
more comfortable for you and your little one.
* Pack distractions. A new toy or book is a great
idea.
* Use a backpack for essentials to keep your arms free
while moving
through the airport.
* Remember to pack for emergencies. Delays will cause
you to need more
diapers, and a change of clothes.
You may even want to schedule the flight around a time
when the baby
usually naps. That way, you may get some time to relax yourself!
