Chase was taking Jake on a boys ski trip, and Chloe and I were going to stay home. Last minute I decided that Chloe and I would go to Colombia to visit my grandmother. Did I think to myself-ugh traveling with Chloe is hard, yes- but it wasn’t going to stop me from going.
Traveling with toddlers is definitely not the easiest, but over the years I have learned what to do with SIX important things:
- Snacks are key- and you can never have enough.
- Window seat- they LOVE to look out the window and this takes up time showing them water, clouds, etc.
- Download favorite movies.
- Always have two extra changes of clothes- my kids hate being wet, so if they spill a little bit of water they are uncomfortable. Having extra changes of clothes is key.
- Bring favorite water cup so that they can drink out of it to make sure they stay hydrated. The cups the airlines gives are too hard for a 2.5 year old to drink out of- and for sure they will spill. If they love juice- give them juice in their water cup mixed with water.
- Bring a stroller for the airport- the distances are far and you don’t want to have to carry your child + carry on!
