Has anybody ever taken a baby on a plane
when they are young? I am going to visit
my brother in feb, who lives in ab, and I
was wondering how you made out. With
turbulance, discending, etc??
I am going to have to take sooo much big
stuff, a playpen, his car seat, stroller,
...How much do they allow on the plane for
one person? Hubby isn't going.

Urgh, my mom wants me to go see her in ab
too but for me as much as the flying would
annoy me (and I 'm closer than you-lol)
the time difference would too since trey
is not a good night sleeper
i'm not sure if the weight allowance is
different if you are bringing a baby. I
think the best bet would be to call them
and find out. Good luck!!!!!

I would only bring the car seat on the
plane with you, and maybe one of those
carriers where you have it strapped like a
backpack on you, but your baby is sitting
in it (where they can face you or on your
back). Of course have the diaper bag with
you. Then with the stroller and playpen
i'd pack into a large suitcase so you
don't have to lug that on the plane with
you.
As with taking a baby on the plane.. He
might be a bit fussy, mostly when you are
landing. Might be harder for his ears to
pop. Best thing to bring would be
childrens tylenol to ease his pain and
give it to him about a half hour before
you land (depending on how old he is).
Definitely call the airport to find out
though to make sure what would be allowed.

Ok I flew alot with my son when he was
little b/c my husband was in the military,
you can check in a couple bags and playpen
b/c your considered as 2 passengers, i'd
recommend to check the stroller in plane
side and i'd call the airport to see if
your flight is booked if not go ahead and
request a seat where no one else is sittin
with you then you can take the carseat on
with you and put them int he seat next to
you if not then if you have one of those
carseats that sits on the stroller i'd
also check that in plane side so you can
have both when you get to the
airport...The baby tylenol is a good idea
and take extra bottles onw ith you b/c
babies tend to get thirsty in air and if
your baby takes a pacifier keep that near
for themt o suck taking off and landing
and one last thing...Cotton put a little
bit of cotten in your baby's ears and that
helps the pressure to keep them from
poping...If you need any more info i'm
glad to help!!
