[quote=Anonymous]Suggestions: can you buy or borrow an iTouch and load it with games? After a very rough 7 hr flight with a 2 yo, I purchased one for the flight back and it was worth it. There is something about the interaction and the simplicity of some of the games that keeps a toddler's attention longer than a movie.

I would also bring a DVD player, even if they aren't into movies. Maybe they will be lulled by the engines and find it interesting. You need to have every option.

I would also buy lots and lots of little toys and wrap each one. When our kids were toddlers I would pull one out, make a big production of unwrapping it, and then they would play with it for awhile (stretch as long as possible). We spent hrs on a flight working our way through a dozen tiny containers of playdough, each a different color. Each one held dc's attention for a little while and I just kept going.

I find that our kids do better on flights that you'd think and sometimes get sleepy and calm from the noise and vibrations, but I do bring a ton of stuff, and it is a heck of a hard day for the adults.[/quote]
