So many valid tips about meltdowns! I can’t imagine someone coming up to someone with a screaming toddler asking them to control said toddler. But that’s such cool that stranger approached you and told you how awesome of a job you did!
Regarding the seat selection. I fly Southwest exclusively which has open seating and rows of 3. Whenever I see a mom with a toddler next to the window I always take the aisle seat. Why? A few reasons. The most caring traveler to sit next to is a mom with a toddler. I'm an older male so usually others walking by will think I'm grandpa and just keep on going. Then when everyone is boarded I'll see if there is any other open seats in the plane and thank my short term seat companion and go grab that free seat so they can enjoy the spread out row.
Have you flown with your toddler before? I would love to hear your experience, and if you have any other tips to add! ❤️
The comradery of mothers always makes me tear up! Those encouraging words from strangers are priceless!
It really is the best ❤️ So thankful!

I can’t imagine that EVER happening, but you never know! 😆 And yes, I am forever grateful for that stranger’s kind words that day 😭❤️
Can't even imagine what you and your little one went through. Sounds like you did a great job staying in control of the situation...
Thank you!!
We will definitely have to get a busy board because Lucy would love that!
It’s seriously genius 🙌🏼 Lucy would love it!

Love this. This is a toddler mama’s dream flight 🙌🏼❤️
Awesome info! We are taking our almost 1 yr old in Feb and I had lots of questions about these things.
Yay! So glad this was helpful 🙌🏼 You’re going to be great!!!
Thanks for your recommendations. I'll be flying to Disney World, but from an international flight with my 30-month old on February...
Absolutely!! I hope you have a great trip! You’ve got this 🙌🏼❤️
Thank you for this! I’m flying to Disney World this spring with a 15 month old 😣
