what's the easiest way to fly with an infant and a toddler?

jl2829

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!

My daughter got a stuffed rabbit ... the bunny from 'The Velveteen Rabbit' ... when she was 2.

She slept with it every night of her life until she finished high school. 'Bunny' became 'Toxic Bunny' and then just 'Toxic' as the years went by. He'd been washed and sewn back together so many times, he didn't even really resemble a rabbit anymore. He went to daycare and preschool, went to kindergarten in her backpack. He went to camp. He took vacations. He went shopping. He spent 4 days in the hospital when she was 13.

Toxic went to school with her the day before graduation. It was an end-of-the-year 'pajama party' day. After the party, she put him in her (already empty) locker, not knowing that the custodians were 'sweeping' the seniors' lockers and throwing away everything they found there. Sad end for Toxic Bunny.

She's 21 now and she's STILL unhappy about that. So ... nothing weird about being attached to your favorite stuffed animal! By the way, she still has her very first Beanie, Derby the Horse.

Answer
"A miniature sized backpack to fit only the basic essentials."

I don't know about your school, but in 7th grade I had to bring three, 2 inch binder to and from school each day, along with atleast one text book. My large l.l.bean backpack could barely fit all of it!

A mini backpack will NOT work for 7th grade;
7th grade you have to bring a lot of stuff to and from school. 7th grade was probably the toughest year of middle school, since 6th grade they practically baby you, and then once you're in 7th- BAM! they fill your whole life with a ton of school work.

I suggest getting a normal sized backpack, or a large one if I were you. Better to be safe than sorry(;
