We are traveling with our 15 month old for the first time by flying. We will be away for a week and so wanted thoughts on what toys we should bring that are easy to handle/pack and will entertain for a week (and possibly on a plane). On other trips we have driven and just thrown stuff into the car.
Also, if anyone has thoughts on good foods to bring on the plane, that would be great. |
Is your child into little people? For several years, we'd pack a few handfuls of toy people and animals whenever we'd travel. We also got a small baby doll (5-6 inches tall) that went with us on trips. Our kids are now 3 and 5 but still have fun with "travel baby" sometimes. |
A mix of new and old toys. What worked for our trip, child around the same age, were matchbox cars, books, a ball, and the "fridge DJ," a little boombox "radio" that plays songs and lights up.
But honestly, we spent most of the time walking around, even in the hotel. That was super-fun for my child (not so much for me) ![]() |
Don't know where you are going, but on our last few vacations we have rented a tub of toys from babysaway.com. Pretty cheap and the toys are great and tailored to our children's ages. It is like having a whole new set of toys. And they deliver. |
Could you give a ballpark of what a bucket of toys cost to rent? Or does it vary depending on the age of the child or destination? I usually order a new toy (about $30-40) and have it shipped to our destination (if we are staying for a long time). The toy doesn't always make it back with us (depending on how much room we have left in our luggage). And so I'm wondering if renting toys are a better option. It would be less wasteful. |
