We go to Europe and Asia to see our parents. [b]Our toddler son liked to run up and down one aisle of the two-aisle plane,[/b] and our toddler daughter liked to stand on my lap and look at the people behind me. No crying except during landing and take-off because of ear pressure. No particular issues at our destinations either, with the caveat that my daughter woke up several times a night every night when she was little, whether she was home or away from home - so we were our "usual" sleep-deprived selves. Even now, 10 years later, she still wakes up very early, but at least doesn't bother us.

I just want you to know, OP, that when I hear a little one crying non-stop on a flight, I have nothing but compassion for the baby and family. I know you're doing everything you can and it's not your fault. Some kids are like that.

This is obnoxious, don't do this.[/quote]

This is even worse

It's better than screams. You can't physically restrain a 1yo and they don't give a crap about cartoons or whatever fun toys you bring.[/quote]

You can, of course, physically restrain a 1 year old.  That's what carseats are for, but even otherwise, you can in fact hold a 1 year old.

How has your kid not been run over by a car yet?[/quote]

Oh stop. I’d rather have a kid walking up and down the aisle than it screaming because it wants out of the car seat - which is 100% what would happen for most 1 year olds.[/quote]

Does your child scream in the car nonstop?  My kid, by 1, had learned that screaming in the carseat just doesn't work. They aren't smart enough to know that they're on something totally different, so they might do some crying, but they don't scream nonstop on the plane because it's the same.[/quote]
