baby jogger backpack image

The toddler will have his own seat, but I will be holding the baby. My questions are, should the toddler fly in his carseat, and if should we be taking a stroller to the gate (I have a double jogger).
Anyone who has gone through this, please give advice! This is not a vacation, it is for a cross country move so both carseats will need to go on the plane in some way.
Answer
Definitely strap the toddler into his seat and buckle him in. Don't get him out for any reason. Treat it like a car trip. Take a stroller to the gate, but I'd recommend just using a single stroller because they're easier to fold and deal with and get a sling or Bjorn for your infant. It'll be easier for everyone involved! Make sure to have new toys in a backpack for him. Think: a new box of crayons, coloring book and paper, play doh, little plastic animals and cars. One thing my grandmother did for me in a similar situation was to wrap little junky toys like the ones mentioned above and at certain time intervals I was allowed to open a new one. It made the trip go faster (according to my parents) and I only got them if I was behaving myself. Good luck!

What do I pack when I take my toddler and infant camping?

I am just wanting to know if anyone has any good tips for what to take along for our trip.
Answer
You don't say how old your infant is - and as you said infant and not baby, I would talk to your peditrician first and make sure they have had enough shots and are strong enough to go. Camping lends itself to misquitos bites, ticks and other things...
With that being said though - for slightly older babies - be sure to bring a baby backpack (for ages 6 months and up) keeps them elevated and allows for them to see everything better - also acts as a diaper bag. Jogger strollers are also a wonderful invention fo rthose trail that you can use them on.
A bassinet or portacrib - as they can't sleep in sleeping bags.
DIAPERS, DIAPERS & more DIAPERS as well as ziploc bags to seal them in while you are hiking, etc... since there may not be any garbage cans near and this will prevent a mess or smell in your diaper bag.
If you aren't breastfeeding - plenty of formula, bottles & BOTTLED water as you probably won't be able to boil water and you don't want them drinking tap water.
