Absolutely 😃 going there she was super jet lag. I let her sleep in her stroller and closed my eyes as much as possible on a chair until our flight. We had a layover coming back to Canada in Frankfurt for about the same amount of time. I brought her into the stores to look around and there was a play area for kids she visited. We had lounge access coming back and we ate here, she ran around again and took a short nap in the lounge. The goal was to keep her as busy as possible when she was awake.
@@sayedalailabukhari7925 If you can get into a lounge with paying yes as I usually take a nap, eat and drink. I know Lufthansa has been quite strict and does not allow you to pay anymore to enter (they did during COVID). Air Canada has a lounge under the Dragon Pass or Visa Companion program that you can pay into, but they only allow you 2 hours in before your flight takes off. I would only pay for this lounge if your flight is delayed so you can get more time in the lounge. But you can honestly do a lot outside of the lounge as there are many places to eat and areas for kids to run around. We utilize the lounge as it was complimentary and near our gate. If it's not near your gate and you have to go through customs again, I wouldn't bother with a lounge. They have sleep pods at the Frankfurt airport that maybe next time I'll try and review. The jet lag from Canada to Frankfurt is soooo tough. And airport chairs are NOT comfy. Hope this information helps and I wish you the best, smoothest and safest travel experience 🥰
Absolutely. We use the Graco SlimFit3 LX 3-in-1 Car Seat and then the Bugaboo Butterfly as her stroller. We bought the bumper bar with the Bugaboo Butterfly, but remove this and put it in check in as it doesn't fit with the car seat. And I just put the car seat on top of the butterfly and get going. She's been very good at knowing her car seat she's strapped in so she doesn't move or fall over. For added safety you can always use a luggage strap to secure the car seat to the stroller. I highly recommend you check out the stroller in person at a store! We fell in love with it compared to the Yo Yo. The Graco Slim fits the butterfly and fits down the aisles. We also have a Cosco car seat but it's too wide and we don't travel with that one. If you're checking in your car seat the stroller is also great for around the airport and we always put it in cabin. With that said, it means her stroller is my carry on n unless I've purchased a seat for her then this is her carry on. We always find space on top with family boarding. There is always someone at the airport saying I have to gate check my stroller or telling me it won't fit and I kindly let them know it does it as I've flown around several times. When the overhead bins are going to be full as it's a full flight, they push me to gate check it, but I tell them there is space in the overhead bins as I'm going in family zone and this is the carry on. And it's incredibly helpful as soon as the plane lands my stroller is there. I've had issues in Europe where my stroller showed up with my bags and I've had to carry my baby around a big airport which was not easy. Hope this information helps and reach out anytime! 🥰
@@Anna-o8w9h yes 🥰 no problems. Just make sure that your car seat is airline approved. It should say it somewhere on the sticker and we bought this style as I know it’s slimmer than a regular car seat so it fits with the width and pitch of many airlines
You're such a prepared mom! Also hope Air Canada sees this and considers keeping their lights dimmed during snack times!
please also share how you spent 4 hours time at frankfurt airport with your toddler. thanks

Hi , can you share how the car seat adapt to bugaboo stroller? Do you just need to purchase the bumper bar or anything else? Thanks
@@suni2970 yes absolutely. It’s the Graco Slim Fit car seat with the the Bugaboo Butterfly stroller
Question from a fellow mom here: did the airline allow you to bring the car seat on the plane with you?
@@Anna-o8w9h yes 🥰 no problems. Just make sure that your car seat is airline approved. It should say it somewhere on the sticker and we bought this style as I know it’s slimmer than a regular car seat so it fits with the width and pitch of many airlines
Thank you very much!
