Before boarding, take potty trained toddlers to the bathroom.  Even if your child says she does not need to go, take her anyway.

There is something about that time on the plane when the “fasten your seat belt” sign is lit and the plane is about to take off that signals small children to announce, “I’ve got to go potty.”

You may be able to head off disaster by taking them to the toilet and making them attempt to use the bathroom before boarding.

 Flying Kids Mission

As parents, we are responsible for molding our precious babies into well rounded adults who have an appreciation for the variety of opportunities that they have available to them as they grow and develop as individuals.  Exposing children to varying geographical locations and cultures around the world is an important teaching method that many parents have the option to use for developing generations of culturally aware future leaders who have childhood experiences that help them understand and personally relate to global issues.  It is the mission of Flying Rugrats to arm parents with information about flying with children, toddlers or infants strategies in an effort to dispel fear or apprehension about family travel so that families may travel freely and better educate our future world citizens through positive travel experiences.
