[quote=Anonymous]How long is your flight? Any transfers?

Will you need your car seat at your destination? If not, don't bring it.

Bring an umbrella stroller that folds one-handed, a small cross-body purse, a backpack (for in-flight items), and a rolling suitcase. Cab to the airport; check the suitcase.

At security, keep the kid strapped into the stroller until the very last minute. Load all your gear onto the belt; liquids out, shoes off, etc. Then grab the kid out of the stroller, fold it, and put it through the belt. Carry the kid through the metal detector and do the whole system in reverse at the other end.

At the gate, push the kid in the stroller to the end of the jetway; take the kid out and leave the stroller to be gate checked. You'll have to carry kiddo to your seat from there.

Bring a bunch of stuff to entertain him in your backpack. New snacks are always a hit. If you've never used a snacktrap/snackcatcher before, that's always a hit first time around (seriously! It's treasure!!). Stickers (maybe a little young?) Books. Phone apps with cartoon faces. (All our screen rules are suspended on air travel.)[/quote]
