Travel Info

 Flying with young children

by NED LEVI in Consumer Traveler

 It’s summer. Families are flying to vacation destinations. Flying with young children can be a wonderful experience for the children, their parents and the people around them. And it can be a disaster too. The key to a successful flight is parental preparation.

 1.     Let your toddler bring a backpack of their own with some of their belongings. It will make them feel more adult. That will help parents get them to behave better.

2.    Don’t leave your child’s “comfort belongings” at home. If you double or triple check anything before leaving home, make sure you don’t forget these, a blanket, pillow, toy, any number of particular items.

3.    Bring DVDs/Movies and a portable device to play them on the plane. Electronic games are ubiquitous, and can help your child pass away many hours.

4.    Age appropriate books to read, sticker books, small toys and coloring books are wonderful to amuse children during plane flights.

5.    Take plenty of wipes, and a hand sanitizer for clean-ups. Don’t forget disposable bags.

6.    Take snacks, lots of snacks. Take plenty for the kids to drink too. The TSA states:  “Baby formula and food, breast milk, and juice are allowed in reasonable quantities exceeding 3.4 ounces (100ml) and are not required to be in the zip-top bag.” When you get to TSA security in the airport, make sure you tell them you have these items to avoid problems.

7.    If your child gets motion sickness in your car, count on it happening in a plane. After checking with your child’s physician you might want to give your child antinausea medication. Wait until about 30 to 60 minutes before departure to give them the medication, not before you leave home, since it might wear off before you fly.

8.       .Avoid ear pressure problems which can be especially painful for children who have smaller Eustachian tubes than adults. Have babies either nurse, or suck their bottles during takeoffs and landings. Other children can suck on a candy or chew gum.
