5 tips for flying with baby and / or toddler
If you finally want to travel further away again, or to the sea in winter, you usually have to fly. Here are five important tips for traveling with a baby and / or toddler.
- Age and Health: The baby should be at least one to two weeks old. If your child is sick, it is better not to fly and to cure the illness.
- Children's passport: Infants and toddlers must also be able to identify themselves. Please note that you must apply for the pass in good time before you travel.
- Seat reservation: There are a number of things to consider when booking a seat. Up to the age of two, your child must travel on your lap. However, some airlines offer baby baskets. You can rent them if your baby weighs less than eight kilograms. You can attach the basket to the side wall.
- Clothing and hand luggage: the cabin is not always warm. To do this, pack change clothes in your hand luggage and put on your child in an onion look, i.e. with several layers. You can remove layers if necessary. Also think of enough hygiene items and baby food for your child.
- Pressure equalization: Babies and toddlers also need something for pressure equalization. It's best to have pacifiers or something to eat or drink.
