We’re going on our first trip in May as a lap infants my mom has a car seat there so I won’t have to worry about traveling with that. What are your must haves for travel/keeping a baby entertained at this age?? We have 2 flights (1 hr and 1.5 hours) thanks!

Hey we just went on our 2nd flight and I made sure she had new and very entertaining toys. Her favorite was an activity cube. Also if you have a decent amount of time between your connecting let baby walk around and get tired and rock babe to sleep before getting on second flight.
Download Ms. Rachel or some shows are free on PBS kids too. You can always message me.

I bought 3 brand new toys she had never seen before and waited until we sat down on the plane to give it to her. Entertained her for hours. Better if they’re puzzle type games avoid anything that makes too much noise.

We’ve done multiple flights since she was 4 months old and we just did a cross country one last week!! The best thing is lots and lots of snacks hahaha I always bring healthy snacks and then emergency snacks if we are desperate for peace 😂 she loooves books so we brought lots of those. bring fav toys and download favorite shows on your phone for if all else fails hahaha. also, don’t stress about anyone else in the plane. babies travel all the time and they cry and people usually don’t care. just focus on you and baby and ignore everyone else! 🫶🏼 those are quick flights which you’ll love! Haha

do you have links to any of the toys??

do you have the link to the activity cube or the other toys you brought?

3 hour plane ride my son slept both ways. We picked time closer to his nap time. The plane always makes him sleepy. I had packed toys and snacks but they weren’t needed because he was knocked from the start of the plane ride to the end.

I timed our flights around nap time, ours were non stop and the first flight he didn’t sleep lol he was too excited but he didn’t fuss until the very end during descent because he was tired and didn’t want to go to sleep. 😂 so we went straight to the hotel and I made him nap. Then I said we were available for whatever people wanted.
Our flight home, he fell asleep as we were boarding and slept the entire time until we were in the car on the way to lunch with my mom and brother.

I had all the toys and snacks in my carryon and he didn’t even care about them 😂

This is the one that I got but there are some with various different options that may better entertain your little one.

Lots and lots of snacks. Babywear in airport. My babe has flown a lot and still is mostly entertained by staring at the people around us. I always bring a couple new small toys she hasn’t seen before and wait until she needs them to give to her.

thank you!
