In my experience, one of the most important things to figure out when traveling with a baby is where your baby will sleep. Depending on where we stay, I decide if we can use the hotel cribs or pack one of these baby travel beds.

My FAVORITE Airplane Toys for Toddlers
Based on my years of traveling with my toddlers, I can tell you that flying with a toddler can be intimidating. What makes flying with a toddler so scary is that they do not sit still, and there’s no amount of convincing (or pleading) that can get them to.
This is precisely what makes toddlers, over all other ages, so challenging to handle on flights. In my experience flying with toddlers, I can tell you that a little planning goes a long way. It also never hurts to pack these toddler travel essentials along with a selection of my favorite airplane toys for toddlers.

I’ve learned that planning ahead, having the right attitude and a selection of entertaining toddler car toys will go a long ways towards success!

Best Airplane Activities for Babies and Toddlers
Traveling with small children can be so rewarding, yet many parents get nervous about the prospect of flying with a baby or toddler.

I didn’t want to be one of “those parents” with a crying baby on the flight or having our toddler run up and down the aisles.
My Favorite Screen-Free Travel Toys for Toddlers
First off, I’m not opposed to screen time for toddlers. I have taken many flights with toddlers and I have always included some screen time on flights to help entertain our toddlers on the airplane. But, I have found that too much screen time can make my toddlers grouchy and difficult to deal with. So, to mix up their travel activities, I always packed a bag of screen-free travel toys for toddlers to use on the flight and during our time traveling at our destination.
Must-Have Travel Toys for 1 Year Olds
Perhaps you are already dreading being stuck on an airplane for hours with a 1 year old. I’m going to be completely honest, I found this to be one of the most challenging ages to fly with. That being said, being prepared and having some travel toys for 1 year olds will go a long way.
