"Welcome back! My name is Alisha and I am with Expert Village. Today we are talking about how to travel with a toddler. All right, so I've got my toys here, a little bit of entertainment and my toddler. You've got to have that to get a trip with a toddler. Okay, let's get in the car. Yep, we are going to go in there. So I like to have the toys real close and easy to access when on a trip; usually have it right next to her. Yep, okay. I think it's the easiest to get the arms in first. Once in there, I will usually buckle the top buckle and then you have your two other snaps that need to come in down below and in between the legs. Make sure you hear it click. That is always important. Once buckled in, you always want to make sure it is nice and snug; not enough that you can actually fit more than a fingers worth in there. You also want to have this plastic bar at arm pit level and for infants, you would put that at the nipples level. Once in, we are safe and ready to go. "
