Travel advice for parents of young children
| Author: admin
The first person who coined the phrase “under the Friendly Skies”, obviously not travel with small children. If at any time in the future we will even be found in a narrow jet, with a mischievous child (or two), I offer my condolences. As a mother of two boys and a veteran of the so-called “Friendly Skies, I was in your place more than once.
Yes, I know – you do not need my sympathy and my condolences, my condolences. Need help! So what’s it worth, here are some words of experience (um, I mean) knowledge of how to survive your next trip:
Toddler Air Travel Tips # 1: Do not use the white paper bag in the seat pocket in front of you like a paper airplane!
Whether you wear a small fortune to keep their hand luggage with gifts for the support of his two-year production schedule. There is an unwritten rule that says your child is bored in the first fifteen minutes of departure.
This white paper bag in the seat pocket in front of you begin to invite you, with the promise that if they become an airplane or origami paper sculpture, the passenger sitting next to you is good for smaller than two hours after your journey.
Do not stop -! Believe me, once you remove the bag, your baby upchuck everything he ate for breakfast. And guess where they throw pieces regurgitated addressed. Yes, yes – that the beneficiaries do not want! His trousers, shoes, even your luggage when digestion rest of breakfast treats.
My advice – after the airplane, we found the bag and place it where you can take in a moment. And do not touch it again unless you need them for their intended use.
Toodle Air Travel Tips # 2: Tell your child to his seat when the light attach the seat belt out.
I must say that the difficulties of young children sitting for two minutes, let alone two hours. Her legs were built for running, kicking and jumping.
In this sense, the preparation for the fact that your child will cry and complain, and to twist and bend a little more. But no matter how he twists and never complains about not releasing it and your seat belt. If you are not willing to repent of his decision. Why? Now, freed from the limitations of the seat belt, you can fight with the past in the hallway, then run your instinct takes over. You can imagine after the fiasco that will take place.
My advice - do not loosen your belt is not your child for any reason. Better yet, bring your car seat with you on the plane and strap himself!
Toddler Air Travel Tips # 3: Make eye contact with the adult passenger.
Unfortunately, most of his traveling companions are not sympathize with their situation. There’s something about flying, perhaps the lack of space, size, or recirculated air is added, which makes them forget they were when the child or children, or the end of the world if it not for children. For them, you are the enemy.
My advice – you must avoid eye contact with passengers of another adult in the plane. Save yourself the look and the looks, because you do not know, do not hurt. They have enough on his plate without a useful page of guilt.
Finally, realistic expectations. I will survive this trip. Maybe even your own travel advice and words of wisdom to give when it’s over!
