  • Unusual Toddler Toys

  • - For our young toddler, a roll of tape was her favorite airplane toy. As she got older - and even now - magnets provided lots of fun. They tend to stick together and get lost less.

  • Videocam Entertainment for Tots

  • - Air travel with tots: To keep wiggly toddlers in their seats happily, film their favorite video on your handheld videocamera. Replay in flight, letting them watch it on the small screen. (Tip: bring extra batteries!)

  • Wetting Accidents

  • - When taking long road trips with younger children (6 and younger) have them wear diapers or pull-ups (or for older kids, goodnites) while riding in the car. This has saved us from many accidents. If they refuse to wear them, keep a couple in the glove box and have them put the diaper on when they need to go.

  • What Happens if You Lose Your Child?

  • - Here's a tip that will help defray some of that worry. Before starting on the trip, visit a local hospital and ask if they will make one of those plastic bracelets for each of your children. Usually, they will. Then you can put whatever information you'd like on a slip of paper and insert it into the bracelet. If you're traveling to/through foreign countries, you may want to put the information in several languages.

  • Window-Aisle Civil War

  • - The window-aisle civil war continues. If your flight is mostly in daylight and the kids are old enough to enjoy it, the window is great fun. If your kids (or maybe you) need to use the toilet a lot, get the aisle, as after 14 hours into a 16-hour flight you will run out of things to say to the person on the aisle you are crawling over for the 700th time. (If you are indeed the person who sat in the aisle on our last trip, I am sorry. Carry a copy of this with you next time, or maybe ask us to exchange seats with you.) Young children should not sit in an aisle seat. The carts used for meal service take up almost the whole aisle, and a little one's dangling arm could get clipped.
