Supplies when Flying with Kids

Supplies that you bring with you on a flight depend on the needs of your particular child and vary according to age and other factors.

Give it some thought and create a checklist when you are preparing for a trip.  A little preparation can go a long way.  So think about the needs of your individual child and consider the supplies that you will need.

Below are some common items to consider:

    

  • Diapers

  • Diaper rash cream

  • Lotion

  • Baby Wipes

  • Disposable bibs

  • Disinfectant Wipes

  • Baby Bottles

  • Pacifier or “dummy”

  • Extra clothes

  • Baby blanket

  • Sealable plastic bags

  • Small plastic containers

  • Tissue

  • Prescription Medications

  • Advil

  • Tylenol

  • Decongestant

  • Themometer

  • Baby or toddler spoons and forks

  • Cups with spill-proof lids

  
 

Bring more diapers and baby wipes than you think that you will need.  If you run out you should talk with your flight attendant.  Some airlines keep an emergency supply.  You may also find that the airline has stocked baby formula, bottles, bibs and other essentials.

Chances are that your child will spill food or drink at some point along the way.  Extra clothes are necessary when flying with small children, especially on long flights.  Think about bringing extra socks for your child to wear during a long flight.  If your child walks around the plane without shoes, his or her socks will get very dirty.

You can use sealable plastic bags or small plastic containers for many purposes: from sealing dirty diapers or trash to reserving food from your airline meal to eat later during the flight.

If you will carry breast milk with you for use in baby bottles, think about freezing the milk the night before and then transporting it in a small container with dry ice.

The FlyingRugrats.com
 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.
