Flying with an 18mo old
Were going to Texas to visit my in-laws. What are some tips? I'm really nervous. Since tickets were so expensive she will be a lap child. Only problem she has discovered walking and hates to sit still or on laps. Its only a 2 hour flight but man is she a handful.

One thing that helped me was that I brought lots of cheap new little baubles and toys to pull out of my purse at a moment's notice. Also, tons of snacks.

Get a small bag of new little toys, every time she gets bored of one let her pick out another. Like little cars, a couple balls, a rattle, teething toy, a small makeup mirror, things of that sort.
My 17 month old is pretty into touch and feel books, books with flaps to lift or books that have buttons to push.
A movie or cartoon on your phone or tablet.
Good luck ?

I travelled from london to brisbane with my son on my lap. The flight was around 25 hours. He was actually pretty good. He responded well to having the tablet with some wiggles videos on them. I also had a few of his favourite books. For some of the flight he just wanted to walk up and down the aisle so he could see what everyone was doing so i went with him while he did.
2 hours will go really quickly.

So the first thing you should do is check to see if it's a full flight. If it isn't, just strap her in and don't move her, she's allowed the seat if the flight isn't full. I have flown so much with my son and one thing I always do is check to see if it's a full flight because it's a life saver.

My son likes to go through a lot of activities so this Saturday we have a 4 hour flight. Well we have his favorite movies on the iPad, coloring, stickers, flashlight, mini toys, and lots of different textured snacks.
Hoping he does ok, he doesn't like sitting still.
Also you could try tape. Some babies love it, my son gets upset at the feel of it lol.
Sit closer to the bathroom. For some reason my son poops more on flights. Doesn't mean yours will but boy was it helpful.

Thank you. I will try all those. I'm hoping like last time it won't be a full flight. But its do close to the holidays I'm not counting on it.
