[quote=Anonymous]I just traveled with a very active 2.5 year old. One thing that helped was having him out of the stroller as much as possible in the airport and during car stops. I walked him through the airport and kept him busy so he would get some energy out. For toys, I initially split them and all the snacks into two equal backpacks for me and DH but it ended up dH did nothing but sleep and tell DS he needed to be quiet.  :roll:

So for the trip back I packed little series of toys in separate pouches from the Dollar Store (like zipped cosmetic pouches) that I could hand to DS and he had fun just unpacking and repacking the toys at first. Also keep separate bags of different snacks. During the actual plane ride, we had DS in the car seat, but he liked standing up on the ground between the seat and row in front of us (sort of wedged in the leg space). He spent a lot of time standing there to stretch his legs and he LOvED clipping and unclipping my airplane seatbelt from that position.

Oh! He also loved those tiny fake plastic gemstone stickers. They come in sheets of like 200 at the Dollar Store and it took forever for him to unstick them one by one and put them in a notebook. That kept him quiet for a long time. And a set of fake cooking tools he loved, bizarrely. He mixed and mashed and cut his Teddy for a good while. So... basically just check out the Dollar Store if you haven’t! [/quote]
