I just got back from Orlando and used the bugaboo. For overhead in a bigger and smaller plane with a stroller caddy bag attached.
I also rented a car seat and honestly in the future I will bring my own. It’s the cheapest most basic car seat that I doubt would protect my LO. It wouldn’t even install correctly bc I still use rear facing and they kept telling me it’s better when I use it front facing and that I should install it that way which is not safe for my baby’s age (15 months). Also they legally can’t help you install the chair 🙄

My main requirement for a travel stroller was it be easy to maneuver, not be big/bulk, and not weigh a lot. So, I have the babyzen yoyo, and it fits all those requirements. It has a strap attached so you can carry it on your shoulder. LO likes it. We've used it on 2 trips, and it has now become our everyday stroller when we do use one - we just leave it in the car. It does have a smaller basket, though, and the only thing I don't like about it is I wish the seat could sit more upright - LO doesn't seem to mind, though.

im using turo as the car rental company, so i got a car that already has a car seat installed.. before i put my lo in it im gonna use Clorox wipes and lysol

someone else recommed the yoyo but im not trying to brake the bank on a stroller

I have a Mompush travel stroller and we like it! It even came with a travel bag. It reclines all the way down for naps and comes with a snack tray and cup holder for adult. The basket under isn’t very big tho if that matters to you. I’m pretty sure it would fit in the overhead compartment but I haven’t tried. We just put it in the bag so it’s hopefully less likely to get damaged or dirty and gate check it.

can you send me the link to the one you have

The mom push!

We have the summer brand one that fits carryon requirements. We've gate checked it, but have taken it on the plane with us as well.
It's an older version of this one from Buy buy baby, may be able to find it cheaper through another website: Summer Infant 3Dquickclose CS+ Compact Fold Stroller – Lightweight Stroller with Oversized Canopy, Extra-Large Storage and Compact Fold https://a.co/d/0fkWq35

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

i just want someone to talk to😔😔😔😔

when things get hard i have nothing not any support from my partner im convinced he doesn’t even love me anymore but thats another story
I have a 3 yo and a 2yo that are in bed sleeping only just now. I have a 1 yo that’s been sleeping from 8 o’clock to 10 o’clock. I just gave her her milk and she would’ve gone back to sleep if it wasn’t that
I lost her dummy earlier in the day when I went out
so now she won’t go back to sleep and she won’t accept any of the other dummy’s i have!😔😔and it’s 10 o’clock and I’m gonna be up until 3 o’clock with her and when she does want to go to sleep i won’t have any dummy to give her she will accept and she won’t sleep without it i just wanna cry 😔i have nobody to talk to and i feel so alone i get no support from anybody i’m so tired and i don’t feel well to top it off😔
