"Hi I'm Veronica Baragas with my wigglesandgiggles.com and today I'm going to show you how to fly with a toddler. Now this is definitely not a easy task, but if you go through some simple checklist and call ahead, you may be able to find it a pleasant experience. First I would check with my airline and see if there are any regulations, maybe see if you could get preferred seating towards the back, maybe towards a window. Late flight times would be best so that you can travel during a time that normally the baby would be sleeping, or your toddler would be sleeping. I would also pack a goody bag full of snacks that are not too messy, toys that you can bring out one at a time during fussy times. Books they are definitely popular. Or any kind of movie, headset movies or music that you can take with you. You know if you take longer periods of time, determine what your flight duration would be, travel time through the airport, probably packing a stroller would also be good. You can usually check your stroller right before you board the plane, and they just give you a ticket to receive it once you get out. That would help a lot with luggage and not having your little one run around. So definitely take into consideration travel time and figure out what it is that would be the time to travel around sleep and things like that. So that's what I would do to travel with a, to fly with a toddler."
