[quote=Anonymous]In the BD (= before devices) era, it wasn’t easy but it could be done. We traveled with twins before iPhones and, while it was a challenge, it could be done. We spent time thinking through what might - and might not - work and planned accordingly. We also modeled behavior before we left - “we are all going to sit in seats and sometimes not move until the captain tells us to.” I learned this from a friend who had taken her 2 year old to India to see family. Basically if she could spend 24 hours in transit over 12 time zones, we should be able to get twins to FL on a 4-hour flight. It wasn’t always foolproof. Once they insisted on standing on our legs and jumping up and down at 14 months. Lucked out as we were in back of a 2/3 full plane. On a train @ 22 months, I had the flu and DH had to walk up and down the aisle with both kids as I could not move lest I get sick. Yeah, we got some shade from some and others seemed to understand. Here it seems like parents could talk about “inside” or “out of house” sounds like one does “use your indoor voice.” So “the tablet cannot be at a high volume when in a public place.” I used to fret and sweat thinking about these trips but I also planned for it, e.g., when is the best time to fly with 5 month olds, 18 month olds, 2 1/2 year olds, etc.. And I saw and know other parents who did the same. Good luck to all traveling this season. [/quote]
