I’m a flight attendant and basically anyone and everyone I know asks for tips for traveling with kiddos. I decided to find a video I could direct people to. This video is the winner! You are doing so many things right! Keeping everything under the seat is 100% the way to go. It makes life so much easier. You’re also SO wise to not bring more than you can manage yourself and to practice lugging all your stuff around. I really REALLY wish more people would do this. You’ve found a good balance of being prepared but not having too much. It doesn’t sound like you’re at this stage yet, but if you have a kiddo that is newly potty trained have them wear a pull up. Turbulence is dangerous and I’ve seen several kids hurt badly trying to go to the bathroom when they shouldn’t. If the seat belt sign is on you really do need to be seated. This means your kiddo might need to hold it for a long time. If you really don’t want them wearing the pull up at least bring one. Worst case scenario you can put the pull up on at the seat. For the people scared to fly with their kiddos. Don’t be! Babies/kids are surprisingly good travelers. Trust me, your kid won’t be the biggest baby on the flight. It’s the grown ups that are the problem children 🤦🏼♀️
Thank you so much for your kind words and for the suggestions!! It's great to hear feedback from someone with lots of professional experience! We're not yet at the potty training stage but will definitely be taking long flights in the next year, and will be sure to heed your pull up advice! And I agree -- we've been so pleasantly surprised by how great traveling with our son has been and most of our stress has been totally unnecessary -- it's all in the preparation I think :)

instead of the changing pad I use disposable puppy pee pads. they soak up pee so won't run, disposable when dirty, they are very small and light, and can be used on the sear as well as changing tables.
My husband I are are having our first flight with our 2 year old this month and all of your tips have been so helpful! Thank you so much. I’ve been watching so many videos of how to fly with a toddler and you were straight to the point and so organized!
I feel the same way! I will travel with my son on a international flight which will be 25+ hours with 5+ hours of layover and I’m hoping everything goes smoothly ❤
Loved this! We've traveled a lot with kiddo but haven't done a flight in a year, so basically a brand new kid/experience. I'm taking notes as I start my packing list!
Your videos are amazing and so helpful! I am so glad you are helping us mamas.. I'm terrified for my first flight with my bebe but your😊 advice makes me feel empowered!
ohhh thank you so much for saying that! I'm never quite sure if I'm making any difference with these videos and a comment like this really makes my day! I'm so happy to have helped a little bit :) I was scared on my first flight with my baby too, but it will all be worth it for the memories you make together
Thank you! That's very nice of you! Maybe I was just having a good hair day -- I just use cheap shampoo and conditioner usually (currently tresemme) and I haven't had time to get a haircut in quite a while (#momlife) :)
My daughter has been having hysterical episodes at night few hours after she sleeps and because of that we have to avoid night flights. Any tips to deal with hysterics in the plane
Love your video! I am going to travel with a 2yo and a 6yo end of year on a 15 hours flight the first time! I am also thinking of carrying a fanny pack during travel. Would you share with me how you wear your fanny pack when you are wearing the baby carrier and the backpack? I feel like wearing the baby carrier will be in the way of everything...looking for some good tips. Thanks!
Honestly -- it's a bit awkward with the carrier and the backpack! I just wear it anyway 😅 So, it sits low on my hips, under the carrier -- and then I shift it to the side. Not sure if this is the best way but it's fine.

Can I actually bring drinks and food pouches for my 4 year old since I will have a diaper bag?
