Air travel with baby isn’t always easy, and some of the struggles start before you ever board the plane. These simple tips will help you manage your baby gear before and after you board the airplane and make the entire air travel experience more pleasant for you and your baby.
Buy Baby A Seat
Suggest buying baby a ticket and using a car seat on the airplane, no matter the age. Babies who aren’t in car seats can be injured when a parent can’t hold on during severe turbulence. If your flight isn’t full, you may be able to take the car seat and use it without buying a ticket, if seats are available.
Carry On Bags and Diaper Bags
One carry on bag that serves the role of purse, briefcase and diaper bag is the most pared down choice for air travel. My favorite carry on bag is a large backpack that I can share with baby.
Ways to Carry Baby in the Airport
A baby sling or backpack carrier may help you carry baby quickly through an airport, too. Some parents have successfully used a baby sling or special flight vest during the airplane trip to keep a baby close when the baby doesn’t have a ticketed seat.
Special Travel Gear for Baby
If you’re preparing for a long trip, or you travel a lot, invest in some top of the line baby travel gear to lessen travel hassles. Car seat and stroller combinations let you wheel baby right to the plane and board.
