Hi all. I have a 19 month old daughter and we have travelled with her to Hongkong, Malayasia, India and Australia. I would like to share few tips with all about how to travel easy and comfortably with ur toddlers as it never easy to make these cutie pies happy while travelling.

1. Make sure ur baby is healthy and not suffering from any cold or cough as it becomes quite difficult for the baby to breathe easy on flight and adjust to temperature change.
2 Always carry his /her favorite toy/toys to keep ur baby occupied for some time.
3 Carry extra dress for them whenevr u r out with them as they can spill anything on themselves anywhere.
4 give them plenty of liquid, be it water, juice or milk to keep them hydrated.
5 while travelling on a flight, try to book the basinet as it gives room to you and your baby to play and move around.
hope these little tips will help all the moms to travel easy and comfortably with their toddlers.

Thanks for the tips! We adopted our son at 14 months from Vietnam and the trip home (25 hrs with layovers....20 hrs on 2 flights) went VERY well. LOTS of snacks and bottles. We brought extra clothes and didn't really need them. I changed him into something "nicer" for the photo-op of the terminal, but definitely do COMFY on the plane!!

Thanks for the tips! We just recently took our first plane ride :) We were grateful to have our own car seat with us!
