When you are travelling with toddlers, packing is a full process on its own. It\u2019s also harder and more time-consuming than you think so it\u2019s important to start early, at least 2 days prior to the trip.<\/p>\n
If this is your first time travelling somewhere far with a toddler you will be surprised at just how much stuff you need to pack.<\/p>\n
You need to carry everything from diapers to travel toys. You also need food and water, swim wear and enough clothes. And don\u2019t forget medications and a first aid kit.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s easy to forget something especially if you pack in a hurry. So here\u2019s a complete checklist for everything you need to pack when you are travelling with a toddler on a plane.<\/p>\n
Remember to check airline regulations before packing. Most airlines have size and weight limits for things like car seats, certain liquids and strollers.<\/p>\n
Note that this list only covers the flying part. If you are going on a holiday you obviously need to pack much more than these items.<\/p>\n
These are the basic items that you would pack no matter whether you are flying, driving or going on a cruise. Start with these and pack them in a separate easily-accessible bag. This is because you\u2019ll need to use them more than other items. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Clothing will take up most of the space in the luggage since you need to be prepared for anything. I recommend packing dark clothing that won\u2019t show dirt and stains as much.<\/p>\n While there are rules about taking liquids aboard an airplane, baby foods are usually exempted. So don\u2019t worry about carrying enough milk or juice for your kid.<\/p>\n Pack everything securely to prevent any spills. If you have a Sippy cup, unscrew it just a little before take-off and landing to even out pressure inside and outside the cup. The change in air pressure can cause the liquid to squirt out.<\/p>\n Remember to pack more than you think you need. Delays and other unexpected things happen. Don\u2019t be caught unprepared with a hungry baby.<\/p>\n\n
