[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a tall woman.  I've put up and taken down plenty of suitcases for other people, particularly the elderly.  I'm sympathetic as I have a 5'0" mom (tall Dad) and I've been getting stuff off shelves for her since I was 10.[/quote]

+1 as a tall man. I'm happy to help. It's also way more pleasant than going through life being angry at people about their luggage.[/quote]
Thank you.  Lots of really selfish people around here.  DH is very tall; I'm super short.  DH helps people he sees struggling, whether with their bags or in the grocery store trying to get stuff on the top  shelf.  He's a kind person.   My kids (17 and 20) are tall, and even they have helped people in the airplane with their bags.

If I saw a mom with a baby and toddler trying to deal with bags and such, I'd help her.    Aholes would just tell her that she shouldn't fly to go see her family.[/quote]

A mom with a baby and toddler is asking for trouble trying to carry all those bags and deal with all the kids. There’s a simple solution to check the bags. It’s stupid to make things harder than they have to be.[/quote]

You need formula, snacks, food, sippy cups, bottles, water for formula if its not liquid, diapers, wipes, clothing for everyone, medications, etc.

We were getting off our flight and a couple with a baby's flight was canceled and they were stranded about to finally get on board after about 14 hours at the airport and out of supplies. We saw them in a panic waiting for our stroller at the gate.   Thankfully, I had extra in my car at the airport so I could clean out my stuff and give it to them, but you always need to pack at least 2-3 times what you think you need as well.[/quote]

And all of that can fit in one underseat bag. A toddler can drink out of a cup. You need one bottle. The plane has bottles of water. You're not going on a month long South Pole expedition. I have 3 kids and have flown alone. I get it. Check the rest. You don't need to be superwoman doing it all. You can hold the baby, push the stroller and manage 3 bags and you don't need to.[/quote]
