I will be traveing alone by plane with my 10 months old son.?

Question

I would like to seek for advice whether to use the infant carrier bag or stroller. Infant carrier bag will be more convenient, right as they will be place in front of us? I am confused whether to bring strollers or baby carrier.

Answer 1

Definitely stroller if you have a layover!  Nothing is worse than running through the airport lugging a baby and a full, heavy diaper bag!  It is so much easier to take the weight off of you by being able to load everything in the stroller.  You can also check it at the gate before take off and pick it up at the gate when you land.

Answer 2

I thought the benadryl thing was a joke and was funny!  guess it'd never occur to me to actually drug a baby/kid up.

When you say "infant carrier bag", are you talking about a carrier that you wear your baby in?  if so, definitely bring that.  As for a stroller, bring it if you want the weight off of you while you're cruising around the airports and waiting at the airports.  They'll give you a tag for it at the gate, and let you bring a stroller all the way to the entrance of the actual plane, and then it will be loaded.  The huge drawback of a stroller is that it's an extra thing to wheel around - so consider what baggage you're taking (weight, wheeled or not) to make this decision well.

Answer 3

i'm flying with my baby when he will be 6 months....i plan on taking as little as possible!  i am having him sit on my lap, so i plan on using a sling...but your baby is a little older, so the stoller may be easier for you.  make it as easy for you as you can.  and don't give your baby benedryl.....bad idea, some people are just rude!  

Answer 4

BENDADRYL!!!!!!! oh sorry, i got confused, thought you asked, "how do i get my son to NOT ANNYOY others on an airplane?"

Answer 5

Kitty mom is an awful mom...How long is your flight? I flew from Atlanta to San Jose, CA about 5 hours...and this woman had her about 10 month old son and he was SOOO good the whole time. He just sat on her lap playing with various toys. He didn't cry once and he took a good nap also! Good luck!

Answer 6

while waiting at airport i would use stroller then you can hook your bag to it. i travelled to usa from uk with my 11 month old and had her on my lap and the airline gave me sky cot so i can have food etc
