It can be very difficult to travel by airplane with young kids. When you travel by car you can stop every few hours and let your toddler get a little exercise. However, you are confined to a small space for the duration of the flight when you are on an airplane. This can be very stressful and difficult on a long flight and if your toddler is cranky, the flight can seem even longer. With these following tips, your flight could be more enjoyable for your toddler, you, as well as the other passengers.

For your toddler, consider purchasing a seat. Although you are allowed to fly with your child in your lap, this may not be the most comfortable for you or your child. You will be allowed a little more mobility and it will also make your child more comfortable.

Bring games and toys that will keep your toddler entertained. Include a portable DVD player so your child can watch their favorite movies during the long flight. This will help keep your toddler occupied.

Food on airplanes is usually limited. In order to keep your child from getting hungry, bring along some nutritious snacks for them. These would include natural juices, some milk, fruit, cheese, and crackers. Sugary snacks like sodas and candy should not be given to your child. Making your toddler feel over stimulated is excessive sugar.

For your child, make sure that you have spare diapers and a change of clothes. For soiled diapers and dirty clothes, don't forget to bring along zip bags. If you contain any offensive odors, then your fellow passengers will appreciate this.

If he does not behave well on the trip, then your child may begin to annoy passengers. There is the possibility that you might be seated near someone who loves children and may even try to assist you in finding ways to entertain your child. But then again, being seated near someone who is not at all tolerant and is easily annoyed by children is another possibility as well. Regardless of the case, try to be polite to your neighbor. Assure them that you are doing everything you can to control your child and acknowledge your child's behavior.

Flying with your toddler can be stressful, but good preparation such as bringing along necessities for entertainment and nutrition can help to calm your child and make the flight more enjoyable for you, your child and your fellow passengers.
