Pink & Blue’s top 5 list for easier flight travel with a young toddler
Once your child turns a year their active imagination and need for constant entertainment requires a bag of tricks to ensure they aren’t running
up and down the aisles. The trick for blissful family travel is to keep your little one calm and busy during your travels.
1.
iPad
– Have it locked and loaded with saved videos and games for endless hours of entertainment
2.
Colouring books or etch sketches
– Small books and pads are easier to carry in your purse or hand luggage. Ensure any markers or
crayons are washable, because accidents can happen!
3.
Snacks
– Bring plenty and a good variety. Cheerios, dried fruit snacks, biscuits and finger foods. Pulling anything they’d consider a
treat at the onset of a tantrum always works!
4.
CARES
– If you luck out and have an empty seat having this Child Aviation Restraint System will not only be fun for the child but most
importantly buckle them in safely. The system is designed for children weighing between 10 to 20 kgs and who are old enough to sit
up on their own but are unable to be safely harnessed by the regular seatbelts
5.
Blanket and stuffed animal
– bring the creature comforts along, especially for long journeys. The lull of the airplane engines are the
perfect white noise for getting little ones to take a nap.
If you’re already overburdened with a heavy hand luggage with no space for treats and toys, be creative and look around you. There’s plenty of
items to entertain toddlers – water bottles, barf bag or inflight magazine to draw on, trinkets in your purse…the list goes on.
