- How to Travel with 2 Toddlers - Toddler Travel Tips to help flying a long haul, international flight with two toddlers. In this part 2 of 2 videos, I go over boarding and in-flight tips. I cover how we flew with our first born Lauren aged 2&½, and her younger sister Sophia aged 1 years old on a 18 hour flight. I share what was helpful for us, what to expect, and things you want to avoid. Just wanted to share tips and our experience on how we managed to fly with 2 toddlers through this video. Please comment on your experience with flying with toddlers, or if you have any questions at all, we'll be sure to try to answer them all. Thanks for watching and please Subscribe!

Good tips, will share some of mine as well!
I just traveled with 2 toddlers, a 22 month old 15 kg boy (seating on my lap) and a 3,5 yo. I was with my parents, so I had help carrying stuff around, but when it came to sleeping eating, bathrooms, all kids want are parents.
So, some of my tips:
Bassinets have weight and height limits (if I remember correctly it is 10kg). I guess your daughter was rather slim, when I traveled with my kids when they were around 1yo , they would not fit the bassinet. The rule of turbulence is true, though when I traveled with Air France they did not make me take my baby out.
I used the airline blanket to create a tent for my daughter and minimize light and outside distractions, stuffing the ends at the head rest of my seat and the seat in front of me. I like your idea of a hammock, but I saw today a product on Amazon that I will give a try (a inflatable rectangle to fit in between the seats, creating leg space for the kid.
Carrying a toddler during a long flight can be really painful. I got little sleep and my arms were sore. If your kid is reaching the 24 month limit and is on the heavier / larger side, I do recommend not saving and buying him a seat.
I always find having a tablet useful, specially during waiting and connections.
Agree with all your tips: entertainment, presents, snacks, all definitely very useful!
Thanks for the videos!
Great tips! I love the blanket hammock idea! Will definitely be using that one on an upcoming flight.
I feel like I've watched a million of these videos and hear the same information over and over again but you have lots of new ideas and I so appreciate it! Thank you for your insights 💞
Very useful and lovinggg the hammock idea... can't wait to try it
Hey Mana! The best part of the video was the way you used the blanket . it sure looks comfy for little princess :) i am flying with my 2 year old in a few days on a 14 hour journey!!! and that too first time ever....i can sure use this tip :) ty ty ty
Hi Kim!
No problem :) Our trip back home to South Africa was wonderful! My daughter was such a gem on all our flights, she slept on most of them. Best thing I ever did was choose flights at night and during her naps because the plane put her right to sleep and kept her sleeping! I also asked for a seat to be blocked off next to me so I could lift the arm rest and let her lay her head and body on the seat and her legs on me. I also bought a standard size pillow from home and it was one of the best things I brought with us! So helpful to keep her comfortable. People were really helpful as well, especially the older ladies. I let my daughter run around in the airport to tire
Love the hammock and gift idea, thank you!
that hammock tip was amaizing i wonder when you next board a plane how many make shift hammocks you will see hahaha xxxxxx
I have 11 month old twins. This was probably the most helpful travel video I watched. Also, remember to check (free) the carseats and gate check an umbrella stroller. When you check the car seats, you can put them in travel carseat bags or oversized contractor size trash bags and we buckled into them the bedding, blankets, and extra packs of diapers.
So helpful thank you! You’re very creative and a fabulous mum 👏👍
Thank you for sharing! I am traveling internationally with my toddler and was feeling quite nervous. Your tips really helped ease my mind

Her out. On the one flight they let my daughter sleep in a bassinet which was also great for me haha! The trip was wonderful and my daughter was pretty darn tired after the long haul but we did it and it was not as bad as I had contemplated it would be :) I just adjusted her naps and bedtime to the time zone i was in :) I hope your upcoming trip goes well and your little one does well :)

Love the hammock idea. Just wonder where did you tie the other end? Under the seat? Did you have to put on seat belt for your 3.5 while she was sleeping? Thanks for all the tips!!
Thanks for the tips I really need it..I'm going to travel for 14 hours with two babies same ages as yours.i don't know if I can to handle both of them all by myself.
hammock is amazing idea
Great vdo.
How were you able to tie the blanket so that your daughters legs were dangling. That's very smart. Would u mind explaining how you did that
Hello, Some planes are better in terms of making you refresh and giving you a refined and smooth ride. (I am not advertising as you pick the airline,but to get a good plane,you will need to select a flight that is flown by that plane) Some of the best in the world for safety and comfort are the Boeing 747 (jumbo jet),B757 and Boeing 767 as they have more fresh air in the cabin and more air pressure so your ears will hurt less and you will feel as if you were almost on the ground and get less jet lag. The 747 is a must for pregnant mothers due to its smooth landing gear giving smoother landings and also it's fantastic ride through turbulence,cushioning everyone from the bumps.
A seat for a toddler and a completely protected bassinet( where the baby would not float out ) should be a human right because during severe turbulence anything that is not strapped down will float up in the air. Plus you will need a pilot of high skill to protect people on board from such turbulence

can you please tell me how you attached the blanket to make a hammock as
im going to be traveling 14 hrs with a 2 year old in August and this
could help us as we are flying at night thanks
Thanks for your tips. We are traveling soon with a 6 year old child and 14 months baby, kindly suggest a good baby carrier, we don't use it so have no idea, which one would b more cost effective and front/back facing with more space.
i am going to travel with my 8 months baby to uk , as you said we should bring the carseat on broad, they allow us even we have only the lapseat ticket?,
How did you tie that hammock?? I will be traveling my 2 toddlers alone in 3 days
I was wondering, what would be the best way to bring our child's carseat on the trip. Should we send it with the luggage? We have a 5 year old and 2 year old that will be traveling in summer.
so glad i found this please tell me how you tied that hammock to the seat! My wife and i are travelling with our 2 girls in 3 weeks and this would be perfect for my 2and a half year old
Thanks for the question and nice comment. Just take the airline blanket corner (on 2 sides), and wrap it around the tubbing of the bassinet, and tie a simple slip knot a couple of times. Then have your toddler's weight support the other end of the hammock. I'm sure there's a better way to tie up the hammock, so get inventive on the plane, and good luck on your flight!
That is a much better idea than buying an expensive contraption.
Thank you so much for both videos... I plan to travel from Frankfurt to Indonesia this year. A very long flight, isn't it? My baby will be around 4 or 6 months. If you have any additional tips with the younger one, I would really appreciate it. This is already so helpful.
Here's a video that will help you with your baby: czcams.com/video/PuUl61M3uz0/video.html
Good luck on your trip!

Bianca Sims hi Bianca, sorry for the very late response. I will be traveling to the Philippines with my 18 month old son alone. We'll be flying in a few days. How about you how was it?
What did you tie the blanket hammock to?
We just tied it to the front hanging bassinet bars. We used our seat neighbor's bassinet as well as ours.
Ok. Thank you :)
Have a great day!!!
How did you potty train your 1 year old?
Hi ***** here's how we potty trained both our girls. We started them pretty young: czcams.com/video/qw3oLxgdAVY/video.html
i cant tell your accent... it sound a little Singaporean and a lot of American
How did you potty train your 1 year old?! I have a 2.5 year old boy and he screams his head off when I try and put him on the potty.
ForeverJakki She made a video about that too! It is on this channel.
To get rid of ear pressure just yawn
