He has flown many times(we are expats) but this time he could not settle down to sleep! The Ergo has always been my lifesaver for travel, I don't know what I will do when I can't use it anymore!Mindy Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04379913351873184078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6854389253351284318.post-36130205395217516542014-08-07T20:06:03.801-05:002014-08-07T20:06:03.801-05:00This makes me nervous.

She's just 3, but super active and I was terrified she'd be all over the place. She had her toys, iPad, and her own seat. It was perfection. Wait until he's a bit older and I bet he'll do great!!Holliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04649712956014050749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6854389253351284318.post-74827149120361850522014-08-05T19:56:38.262-05:002014-08-05T19:56:38.262-05:00we flew with our (at the time) 12 month old on a 3...we flew with our (at the time) 12 month old on a 3 hour flight in June. We installed her convertible carseat on the plane and even though she's a walker, being in her seat was familiar and she slept almost the entire flight. It was perfect! I highly recommend installing a car seat on the actual plane because it helps squirmy babies stay calmer and it's also easier for parents because your child is contained in a safe way.Veronikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08575345245880329712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6854389253351284318.post-47351424100613609312014-08-05T15:11:03.179-05:002014-08-05T15:11:03.179-05:00Hi Honey,

If something were to happen to that plane, or massive turbulence, parents arms are never strong enough to protect a baby/toddler. My dad was an airline pilot and we discussed this many times. Anyway, the extra expense of a ticketed seat would always be worth it to me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13556744149138024962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6854389253351284318.post-72475196407409016412014-08-05T13:37:20.221-05:002014-08-05T13:37:20.221-05:00Can I make a suggestion, buy him something you are...Can I make a suggestion, buy him something you are sure he will love a new toy and a couple new books for when you fly and give it to him on the plane. I have heard this also works, we do most of our traveling by car (1500 miles to our parents) so each time I always get them something new for them and bring it out when they are board. For us the iPad works great as well,Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14474365462822284862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6854389253351284318.post-81607275657551699942014-08-05T11:42:56.981-05:002014-08-05T11:42:56.981-05:00I feel like I just read a page from my own diary! ...I feel like I just read a page from my own diary! Kendall is the exact same-used to be an awesome traveler but now she's into everything and has to know what's going on. I told Nick that we won't be flying with Kendall until she understands to sit.

This will be his first flight and I am so worried...we made sure to get direct flight but it is a long one (4 hours). Luckily we will have family on the flight with us to help keep him entertained (or less strangers to annoy..hehe) as we will be traveling to Jamaica for my sisters wedding.
