By plane or car Steve and I have gotten much better at preparing for long trips with the little man. Last year we moved across the country, and Frank’s flown since he was 3 months old. However we’ve only mastered the preparing part…actually accomplishing travel without major meltdowns is another story.
After my most recent trip I’m sharing some little things that made a world of a difference:
This was SO helpful on our trip. I bought a Jake and the Neverland Pirates metal box from party city for $6, and filled it with goodies for the plane ride. This also is great for long car rides.
In his little backpack:
We don’t have 4G, but luckily airports have free wifi. Netflix was a lifesaver when Frank was on the verge of meltdown after SIX long hours in the airport. We don’t do the whole ipad thing with Frank for various reasons, but traveling is the one exception. Once again Robin Hood saved the day!
Thanks, that's helpful! We'll be traveling to California for 2 weeks for the next wedding with a 3 year old and an 18 month old. Favorite toys, special snacks, special surprises, and the Kindle fire have been great for us so far.- Francie T.
