Traveling with toddlers doesn’t need to be scary. I’m here to share my experience traveling with a toddler, which will help you to be more confident to do the same. One of the most tricky parts of traveling with a toddler is those long travel days. Based on my real-life family travel, I can help you keep your little one occupied with my list of the best 2 year old travel toys. Two year-olds have very short attention spans and are way more active and playful than babies.

First off, I’m not opposed to screen time for toddlers. I have taken many flights with toddlers and I have always included some screen time on flights to help entertain our toddlers on the airplane. But, I have found that too much screen time can make my toddlers grouchy and difficult to deal with. So, to mix up their travel activities, I always packed a bag of screen-free travel toys for toddlers to use on the flight and during our time traveling at our destination.

Based on my years of traveling with my toddlers, I can tell you that flying with a toddler can be intimidating. What makes flying with a toddler so scary is that they do not sit still, and there’s no amount of convincing (read: pleading) that can get them to. This is precisely what makes toddlers, over all other ages, so challenging to handle on flights. In my experience flying with toddlers, I can tell you that a little planning goes a long way.

Having flown countless times with my babies and toddlers, I can say from experience that flying with toddlers is more challenging than flying with a baby. The dynamic begins to change around the time when you start flying with a 1 year old, but it seems most challenging when you are flying with an 18 month old. Flying with a toddler takes patience and setting the right expectations. This is not to say that travelling with a toddler on a plane isn’t worth it – quite the opposite.

Bassinets on airplanes sound like something out of a science fiction story, but they might be a lifesaver for parents. Having a little extra legroom is nice, but being able to set your baby up in a small bed for a long flight can help you both travel easier. Flying with a baby can be stressful under the best of circumstances but a long flight can be downright exhausting. Thankfully, many airlines offer bassinets that can give you a small break while your little one naps.
