Make your preparations well in advance and follow the
tips below.
 |
Prepare
to be self sufficient - don't expect airline kid's packs to contain
enough entertainment for a busy toddler on a long haul flight
| Get
older children to carry their own special tote with basic
entertainment contents - stickers, colouring book, reading books,
cassette tapes, dolls or cars etc. KidsTravelHappy.com
sell a great
travel toy tote that's good for this and also fits
neatly under the seat in front for take-off and landing!
|
Take
some old favourites and some new surprises
|
Hide
away a couple of favourite toys a week or two before the trip - 're-find'
them on the plane!
|
Wrap
old and new toys as parcels to add to their entertainment value
|
Take
a small photo album with pictures of the relatives and friends you
plan to visit. That way your toddler will be familiar with their
faces and names before you arrive.
|
Think
about resources for the return trip as well as the outward one
|
Don't
pack noisy toys or games - you want your neighbours to love your
kids
|
Do
pack a favourite cuddly in an easily accessible place
|
Put
a balloon in your pocket for inflation in transit lounges - pop it
before you re-board
|
Don't
expect to have a break until you land - you are the entertainment...
