Has anyone taken their 2 month old on a flight? I am going from California to Texas and since little…

Hey! I just made a post like this about going on a flight with the baby too! Go check it out. Mommies gave me great advice :) it's my most recent post

Thanks! @mamesey

No prob! :)

I took my then 2 month old from Illinois to California so yes you can . they can ride in your lap or you can get a ticket for them for their own seat. I did that and took his car seat with me like that.

She hates being in her carseat so I am thinking i am just going to wear her in a carrier, but I know I will need the car seat when we get there obviously. Is it easy check a carseat? @2added4itslove

yes they let you check one out and they let you rent one from the airport car rental area if you don't want to check it at the terminal. Also her diaper bag and your purse don't count as a carry on :)

Ok cool. Thanks! @2added4itslove

Hey! My daughter has been flying back and forth to Texas and California since she was 6 weeks and it's not bad at all. She basically sleeps the whole time when she was 2 months, she would occasionally wake up to eat but thats all. As for the airport, i would recommend Southwest Airlines. They let you take the stroller/carseat to the gate or check it with bags. I stopped taking the stroller/carseat to the gate because I would have to fold it up going through security. Southwest lets you check two bags per person and the stroller and carseat for free

I am pretty decided on the fact that I am going to check the car seat only bc she hates being in. But since she is in an infant car seat, I would need to check the actual car seat and the base. Does that count as checking one item or two? Have you ever had your car seat damaged when you check it? @littlewillowsmommy

The base and the car seat count as one. Just make sure they are attached to each other when you check them. And no her car seat has never been damaged.

@littlewillowsmommy, do I need to bring any documentation for the baby? Like her birth certificate or something?

Yes! birth certificate. And call customer care beforehand and let them know your traveling with an infant

Thank you!! @littlewillowsmommy

No problem!
