NO-STRESS TIPS

FOR FLYING

WITH A TODDLER

IN 2023

Flying with a toddler can be challenging. But with the right preparation, you can enjoy a stress-free flight with your little one!

Book a Flight that Fits Your Toddler’s Schedule

Are they in a better mood in the morning? Book a morning flight and bring lots of entertainment.

Also, try to book well in advance of your trip so you can be sure that a flight that fits your toddler’s schedule will be available to you.

Choose the Right Seat on the Plane

Especially on long-haul flights, you’ll appreciate having that extra space for them to wiggle, lay down, and look out the window.

Pack a Carry-On for Your Toddler

It should have all the essentials you’ll need to keep your toddler happy, comfortable, and entertained.

Take Advantage of Pre-Boarding

It can be a helpful option for parents flying with a toddler because it provides some extra time to get settled and prepare for the flight.

Prepare for Take Off

Once you’re in your seat, explain to your toddler what’s about to happen! The environment of an airplane cabin can be scary to young children.

Make Collecting Luggage with a Toddler Easier

First, use that stroller you checked at the gate. Or bring a baby carrier so you can use your hands.
