Traveling with a 4, 2 and 1 year old, any suggestions?

Question

We are going to be flying 3 hrs. The older two will sit in their own seats, the baby will be on my lap. I am trying to only have one carry on and my purse. Of course I will need diapers, and wipes. Any suggestions on activities that won't take up too much room in a bag?

Thanks!

Answer 2

I JUST got back from a vacation where we had a 4 hour plane ride. I have a one year old and an older one. With the one year old, I made sure that she was VERY tired before takeoff. Just as we were about to take off (on the runway) i gave her the bottle to help with her ears and sure enough, she fell asleep. Then, right before landing (she was awake) I gave her a bottle again. I didn't feed her at all during the ride. I got her some toys that she had never seen before and took one at a time out of the diaper bag to keep her occupied. It actually worked out quite well. Good luck!!!

Answer 3

special snacks, like sweet stuff they don't normaly get, and small, new toys, that are still exciting, like sticker books, those cool crayola marker books, that only mark in the book, magnetic scenes, like the princess ones where you can arrange all the characters, books, disposable cameras so they can take pictures, and favorite animals or blankets for comfort. Don't forget the tylenol just in case for little ears. Good luck.

Answer 4

Sedate them.. :) Just kidding..Bring some coloring books and do you have a small portable DVD player? And a few books. Good luck!
