Flying with a 13m old
« on: March 04, 2013, 09:14:03 pm »
Any tips as to what I can take with me to entertain Z on our impending 5 hour flight at the end of the month, baring in mind he will be sitting on our laps  :o

Last time was so much easier as he was only 6-7 months old, breast fed and was in a sling so slept through most of the flight.

This time I suspect shall be more complicated...

Thanks ;D

i've never done it, but i've seen people suggest things like a pass the parcel idea
wrap small toys and unwrap another every 20mins or whatever, wrapping them makes it more fun

What time are you flying? Try and delay  nap so hopefully sleep on plane, let them walk crawl as much as possible b4 boarding try and tire them out. Something to suck on take off and landing, we had dummy and bottle maybe a sugar free lolly pop sweet if you dont mind for once.
We bought a magazine at airport , so colouring in, have you an i pod or anything to download favourite tv program, We didn t wrap but we we kept taking small toys away to put in bag that we knew he liked and then on plane he kept getting one back, lots of little snacks (eating keeps them quiet lol) games on your mobile ds etc that he not normally allowed to play on, Am sure we bought them washable felt tips (again not normally have them usually crayons and he loved them) Stuff you can do together as they will like the attention of you both time :-)
We have flown with a 8 month old and then the following year 20 month old this was 4 hr flight. Not looking forward to this 4 hr flight lol wont stay still
