Gigi has traveled more than me and I’m almost 30😂
Pros of being born recently 😂
Literally same 😂 I wish I had a childhood like these girls!
Ditto!
Haha same! 😅
Me too lol
My three boys are grown now, but we used to do lots of family vacations by mini-van. We always made sure they had tons of snacks in the car, made break stops about once every three hours (diaper changes, stretching of legs, etc), and would pack a large tote filled with things to keep them occupied (coloring books, etc). As they got older we'd find audiobooks everyone wanted to listen to as a family - the Guardians of Ga'Hoole, Lord of the Rings, Sherlock Holmes, the Hobbit, etc. It was so much fun listening to them get excited or giggle over a particular section of a story. We aren't Disney people, so our trips focused mostly on what the kids could learn from each region we visited and the experiences we took away - like having a buffalo herd walk past our van in North Dakota or listening to wolves howl in the distance while camping in Colorado.
As a 23 year old who would definitely feel like a teen mom if she had a baby right now…this was still soooo entertaining to watch and I loved every minute of it 😂
So I'm glad you did the shameless plug for Tyler's agency! Disney isn't really on my to-do list, but I didn't realize that they do more than just Disney! I'll check them out for next year's travel plans, we're hoping for a few more cruises next year~
And YES to the 2 extra outfits for kids when traveling! We took our 11 month old son on a cruise to Alaska and while we were in the Airport in Seattle his diaper leaked into his clothes. So I go to change him and mid-change he starts peeing everywhere, including on his new outfit sitting next to him on the changing table... Thankfully we had that back-up of the back-up outfit in the bag and we were able to get him changed and make it to our transfer lol
I used Tyler’s agency for a non-Disney trip this year and had an amazing experience! They are really great. I hope you have an awesome trip!
@@Sometimesiexercise Thanks for letting me know it was a great experience working with them! I've never used a travel agent, but with how quickly things seem to change in the world, it just feels WAY safer to have an agent to help navigate the unforseen circumstances 😊
@@kryskay989 I can’t recommend them enough! They had my back through every step and answered every silly question I had with tremendous kindness. I’m spoiled now, and can’t imagine traveling without them now 🙃
We always traveled with our daughter. Children learn so much about acceptable behaviors from watching others besides what they are seeing on their trip. It's a great learning experience all around.
2 things to add: (1) traveling with kids/babies, you can bring formula, breast milk, and baby food in any quantity/amount through security with no restrictions as well as ice packs and sealed water bottles for formula
(2) And if you fly southwest, as Jessica added in text, you can add your lap child on your account at the kiosk and now you can add them yourself when you book online!! 🎉
*not even six seconds in and immediately opens Amazon app* I just know the recommendations are good 😂 Going to Disney in just 4 days-Tyler was our travel agent!!
As someone who doest travel much, this is just interesting to hear, even as an adult without children. Thanks Jess! ❤
First, this comes from a place of love because I watch every single video of yours and have for YEARS!! Please look into the risks of flying with a lap infant.
The AAP and FAA both recommend you travel with your child in their car seat. It’s infinitely safer for them. In addition to that, it’s impossible to know how your car seat is handled if you check it. Most seats require replacement after minor car accidents where the seat might receive only a slight hit. The car seats are man handled by the airlines if checked. Additionally, renting a car seat at your destination is risky as well. There’s no way to be 100% sure the seat wasn’t in an accident or situation that requires replacement. It’s always best to bring yours, buy new, or rent from a close friend/family you’d trust with your child’s life. You can buy backpack bags to carry through the airport and then just put your child in it and use it for rentals as well!!
Anyway, I’ll step off my soap box… just so important to keep our babies safe. I greatly appreciate you sharing all the other tips! We actually just booked our first flight for our 1yo and second for our 4yo last night, so I’m adding much of this to our list!
Was coming here to say this-we learned to never check our car seats because you know how they handle baggage getting it in the hold. Once when we gate checked a seat before we knew better it was badly cracked at the bottom and since it was dark when we came back we couldn't see and put it back in our car and drove our daughter home in it and didn't notice the bad damage until a few days later. They say even if you are in a small accident tou should replace the car seat and I am sure what the car/seat luggage experiences in the hold being tossed around and smashed can be worse than a minor accident. Also learned that during bad turbulence a baby can fly out of your arms just the way they could if you were holding them in your lap in the car. After that we always bought a seat for our infant. They were snug and secure and less fussy in the car seat. We bought a wheeled carrier that the car seat fit into for transport through the airport.
Just a note to add, after you checked in and passed security , you can go to the gate check and ask them if there are any empty seats next to you on your flight. If there are, they’ll allow you to bring your car seat on board for your lap child. I’ve done this before with southwest.
Can you also do a video with all the activities and projects you do with Gigi! I like the parts in your vlogs when you’re doing an activity with Gigi, they seem so creative! Must be the teacher background!
YES!!!! Meltdowns will happen everywhere so you might as well get out and enjoy life!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Being 18 weeks pregnant with my first child, this is so helpful!! Thank you!
Have you tried bringing a large disposable puppy pad to lay on the airport floor? You could just throw it away afterwards. Those would also work great as a disposable changing pad
I don’t have kids yet, but we’re trying, and we love traveling so this was great info! Going through security always stresses me out (never had a bad experience, but I just get flustered lol), so I’d be curious to hear more about the process of getting little ones and strollers and car seats through security.
We're looking to travel with our little one soon and these are so helpful! My daughter and I love to watch your videos! You are our favorite content creator! 💕
A good tip if you have an infant, if you pack a small can of formula, some airlines allows 2-3 bottles of water if unopened.
Great tips!
The biggest help we have found with plane travel is buying seats for our littles to have their carseats on the plane. Not only does it keep them safe, but it's the best way to keep them "contained" in a seat they're familiar with. My 8 mo old was quiet the entire trip across the country and slept the majority of the time because he was in his familiar place. Guarantee he wouldn't have stayed calm if I had to hold him the whole time. And bonus - not having to worry about renting carseat or Uber with carseat we weren't familiar with. 😊
Such a good idea. I am surprised how many parents hold their children on a flight, it’s not safe if the plane has to make an emergency landing. My nephew was always in his car seat in his seat when on a plane.
I love hearing g your advice in all aspects of life, but this one comes at the perfect time as I'm preparing to travel for the first time with my infant in 2 weeks!! Thank you Jess!
I dont even have kids, but I watched all the way through because I CANNOT miss a video
It makes me happy to know that most of the advice you gave, my husband and I are already doing with our kids when we travel. It really is through experience and trial and error that you learn all this, so I’m glad someone with a platform like yours is sharing all the “secrets”! Traveling with children is rewarding for both the parents and the children, so I’m glad you are making it easier for anyone who wants to start! We have been to 46 states and 11 countries together as a family with young kids with the oldest being 6 years old and youngest being 4 months! We are trying to catch our newborn up now. 😅
I don’t have a kid but man I love to hang out with Jess. Thank you for always sharing tips and tricks that you learned while you’re traveling 🤗💕
Childfree travel/Disney fan but I LOVE your “pack with me” videos (they are my favs) and this felt like that. ❤
I love how you still call Gigi a toddler. Such a momma 😊❤
Thank you a million times for doing this! My little one is 2 now, and we're ready to do a plane trip with her. This really answered a ton of my questions! I had already used your other recommendations for our past long road trips!
Did you know that you can go through security with ICE IN YOUR WATER BOTTLE?!!!! All these years I had no idea and the last 2 times we've flown I've filled my bottle with ice, made sure there was no remaining liquid right before going through TSA, and we were good to go!!!!! Friggin game changer for those of us who like drinking cold water
Totally just hanging out. My only is a junior in college. I still make lists for when we go camping. We have dogs, they go with us and they have their own list. I think one other piece of advice would be to be okay with disrupted routines. Bedtimes won't be like at home, kids may go to bed still in need of a bath, etc. Just roll with it. Do anything to keep them calm. lol
The bathtime thing especially. We used to go tent camping with our kids. By the time we were ready to go home a stay in a hotel was much needed just so we could all take showers. Boys don't really care about when they take their next bath so you just have to go with the flow.
Oh I‘m never this early for your videos!! Love them!!!😍❤️
Jessica! I would love to see you and Tyler do another what I read this year! I love love those videos and could listen to you both for hours! I am almost done with Educated now at the recommendation of you and it is one of the best books I have ever read! Thanks for all the awesome content from a pregnant, Hoosier, Disney lovin' Mama! :)
You look absolutely stunning! The makeup, the hair, the color of the shirt on you.. SO gorgeous!
Love this!!! We have 2 young toddler girls and are planning our first big vacation ( a cruise) so this video was so helpful!
I loved watching what Gigi was doing in the background at the end of the video.. So cute!
This is so useful and perfect timing! My husband and I are about to travel on a plane with our three kids for the first time next week! We have a 7,5, and 3 year old and our 5 year old son has Type One Diabetes so a little nervous. After watching this I feel a little more equipped for the trip! Thank you so much! ❤
You guys made beautiful babies!
All our kids are now adults and out of the house but here I am watching this video because I love watching Jess videos. Maybe one day it will help when we travel with grandkids lol 😆 ❤
We are going to Disney in February, thank you people mover travel 😍
This shirt, the makeup look, and your hair 😍 you look gorgeous as usual 💁♀️ thank you for the tips❤
Thank you so much!!!
Happy to see the new video!
This video couldn't have come at a better time. I'm flying with my 3 year old autistic son for the first time for Thanksgiving and I've been researching stuff like crazy
My kids are 28 and 30. Still clicked the minute the video popped up. Have to get in my Jess fix! ❤
Btw, my 30 year old is named Jessica 😉
Loved this. Thank you 😊
The best traveling with kids tip I've ever learned from you was using tackle boxes full of snacks! We call them "snackle" boxes. That saved SO much space and saved us the headache of dealing with all the trash and wrappers. You didn't even mention it - I just saw them being used during one of your vlogs and omg... genius!!
I got this car seat alternative for my next trip
“Safe ride 4 kids” it’s a harness that works w the car seat belt and is approved in the US as a car seat. Fits into a small carry case.
HIGHLY!! Recommend the Yoto player! Keeps them so entertained for so long! It also have a travel version. Saved us several meltdowns😅
I don't have kids but just love your videos so much! 😊
PS the colour of that blue shirt looks AMAZING on you! 💙
I’m so thankful for this video. I have a 6 week old girl and we’re flying to my hometown for Christmas and staying in an Airbnb and flying with an infant has been worrying me.
Just watching to support you ❤
Be sure to check that your snack tackle box does not contain BPA. Often times if plastic containers are not specifically made to contain food it is not food safe! But nowadays there are so many bento type containers it should be easy to find something to suit your child’s needs 😊
Yep. Definitely watching for entertainment. I don’t have kids and probably never will but I love all your videos ❤
So many moms need this video 🙈
love your makeup look!
Ypu dont sound crazy! I work with kids as a sub and a paraprofessional in the past (hopefully teacher soon!) and I completely understand what you mean by kids will just be kids no matter where they are 🫶🏻 kids are kids and they will act their age! As they should haha. Sometimes thats a meltdown and sometimes it’s just a happy face doin their own thing lol. Love em!
No kids that age, no grands even that age! Just love your videos!❤😂
Just booked a trip to Disney. Shout out to Haleigh at PeopleMover!
Very helpful! Thx ❤👍🙋🏻♀️
Nope definitely not traveling any time soon just love watching you! Always enjoy your videos! Xoxox 💕
Idek why I’m watching this, I don’t have kids. But good point on the gate check! I didn’t know this until recently but you can also go to the gate kiosk and ask them to gate check your luggage! I paid like $3 on a domestic flight last time.
I hate putting luggage up on the overhead bin and holding up the line. All I had to worry about was showing them my boarding pass, and walking to my seat to leave my small carry on under the seats.
“Heed” heeded….take heed of….headed…take headed of….no one took headed of my instructions.
The way you said heed just brought that to the forefront of my brain. Favorite show! #theoffice
Always 😂😂
Lol some of these still work for my 16 and 13 year olds 😂 all great tips!
My son is 24 years old. Still watched the whole video! :) XO!
Loved your tips! Also wanted to add for road trips (even for across town lol) we always have a small dollar store barf bucket in the car (basically just a small sand toy bucket). You never know when barf is going to hit and usually it is unexpected so that bucket has come in handy more than once lol. Also when the kids were small I had something I think it was called the potette potty. You could use it as a training potty on the ground (there were disposable absorbent inserts you could buy) if there were no toilets nearby when a potty emergency struck, or if roadside toilets were too gross. Or you could bend the legs out to the side and use it as a potty seat on top of a regular toilet so the little one didnt have to touch the roadside toilet or feel like they were going to fall in. The whole thing folded up compactly for storage in a small bag. It was great!
It's funny you posted this we just went to disney and I packed everyone's stuff except my own LOL I did not use a packing list and winged it... big MISTAKE
Don't have kids, never want to have kids, but I love having you on in the background! Definitely a comfort channel 😂 so happy for you and the fam to be able to travel so much!
I don’t have children and I rarely travel, but I watched this whole thing. 😂❤
Wow the empty water cup in the carry-on bag for after security is genius. Idk why I assumed you couldn’t take it on the plane full
We do a lot of road trips down to Disney from MN. Yes we are crazy.... So for a long haul trip even with older kids (I have teenagers now), bring a soccer ball, playground ball, basketball, etc... We also tend to do squats, lunges, burpees, and other things like that when at rest stops. Gets everyones blood pumping!! Even littles can do it! Do races, quick game of tag, or bust out a little dance party. You will have people look at you weird, but we have had people say "That's a great idea!" as well. And your comment about snacks? SPOT on! Even with the teenagers!
Bribery for the win!! At least I don’t have to as much but…
We travel as much as you do and my 13 year old prefers dollars for online gaming.
Such great tips…funny story did the “snackle box thing, packed great snacks…our son loved it & ate got sick and threw up all over himself and car seat🤣🤣🤣 gotta live Pinterest❤
Hi jessica what eyeshadow are you wearing in this video? Love your videos❤️
That was a mouthful lol
We honestly have travel things that stayed packed that normally would be "day of". Like toothbrushes, toothpaste, chargers. Then we never worry about forgetting those.
I never knew what Tyler’s agency was called even though I’ve been watching you for years lol 🤣
I needed this! About to take a 13 hour road trip with a 2 month old, 3 yo and 4yo 😂. We are driving overnight to hopefully give us a couple hours while they are all asleep 🤞
You are allowed to bring through security, bottles full or breast milk, formula, or regular milk. They may test them but it is allowed.
This came at the perfect time because we have a road trip about 7 hrs to see the ILs coming up and baby girl will be 6 months then (5months adjusted) so I was curious what your recommendations were in terms of road trips
Okay okay I'm about to start watching the video but I already have to say thank you for this video I have 4 kids 9 8 and 2year old twins and I've been wanting to go to Disney but I'm scared we have never traveled before other than when we had the first 2 but that was an 8/10 hr BUS ride it went ehh ok I guess but now with 4 I'm so nervous
Literally thought to myself “I wonder if Jessica has any good tips for traveling with a baby”! And you did it. Perfect for me who’s a new mom!
We used inflatable booster seats for a trip
Am I traveling with toddlers and infants? No, 20 and 16 year olds… am I still watching to see how it’s changed since we traveled when they were young 🤣 yes, I am! Great video.
I like to know this kind of stuff because you never know when your going to travel
Toddler stroller recs? Just rent one? We put a Disney World trip with Tyler‘s agency for next October but we don’t have a stroller for my almost 3-year-old and I was trying to figure out a good one to travel with that maybe he could nap in comfortably etc.
Hey Jess! I saw you at Magic Kingdom coming off the People Mover on Tuesday night! I wanted to say hi but I didn’t I got too nervous! (Plus I was on my honeymoon and you with with family and I didn’t want to other you guys. I just wanted to say yalls costume was so fun!
I have a small bag with those "day of" packing items. Tooth brush, arm deodorant etc. So I have a tooth brush strictly dedicated to travel lol because I have forgotten my toothbrush etc far too many times 😂
Just beware that low cost airlines may not accept gate checking and may charge for strollers/car seats as excess baggage even if you have a ticket for the child (if there is more than 2 items to check in for the child or weighs more than the allocated amount of checked baggage). And some low cost airlines won't allow a car seat on board the plane either (especially outside of the USA).
My daughter is now 7 still has motion sickness even now I always have a full change of clothes for her in my purse and in my car I also have an extra outfit for her and a shirt for myself. We keep two towels and a vomit bucket with air tight lid:) in the car always!
Perfect timing! My husband and I are wanting to fly to visit friends in December, but our son will be 2.5 months at the time and we have no idea where to begin planning a trip with a baby. 😬
If you are flying I always recommend that they load the stroller on while you are getting boarded so you have it ready by the time you get off the plane. Super helpful if you have to change flights. Since your little one is so small you could also just strap him to you and have a backpack diaper bag as a carry-on while your stroller is in the regular baggage. Know though, that most airplane baggage handlers are not careful with strollers.
Which screen protector did Tyler get you for your watch? I’m trying to find one for a series 8 but they all have poor reviews 😂.
My daughter threw up milk vomit all over my husband, and she had already had a change of clothes (spilled milk all over herself). My poor husband smelled so bad, thankfully, this was the end of the flight.
Note to self: bring lots of different clothes. Also, don’t give your child milk before a flight (obviously excluding babies breastfeeding and having human milk lol).
I have 4 kids ages 4-15
We travel a lot because my husband is OBSESSED with living debt free and using credit card miles lol and we like to travel
It's hard
We are going to Hawaii in 3 weeks and I hope something in this video helps me (usually we do long road trips) bc the little 2 kind have not yet flown
You can bring liquids for babies through security though! I brought milk, water, applesauces for my 1year old! :)
Have a 10 year old but still watching because Jessica. 😂
So I bought a seat for my almost two year old and so we'll need to have a car seat for her on the plane. Recommendations? Also I know there is like the CARE thing that clips into the seat belt on the plane...any experience or have you heard any opinions about it?
Hey Jessica, I’m wondering if you have any tips on travelling with a formula fed 6 month baby. Long haul international flights. Do i have to bring bottles for each feed, warm warm water for formula, cleaning bottles on flight etc. how to make it as efficient/easy as possible?
Loved this video. Don't have kids, watched the whole thing anyway😍. Wish more parents were into bribery with their kids. Words don't work very well!!!!
I don’t have any kids but I still stopped everything to watch all the way through lol
Same. Lol
Omg love you 😄😄😄
me who has no plan of having kids or any time to travel 👁️👁️i just love all your videos jess
❤️❤️❤️
OK, I made it through the whole video and don't have (and aren't having) kids. lol But I do have one serious question: As a parent of two, what is your feeling on changing a poopy diaper on a plane seat? I've seen people do it and am appalled each time but maybe there really isn't a better place on a plane to do that. I genuinely don't know. I just know it stinks (literally) having to be stuck on a closed tin can with poopy diaper smell.
A day of list is a great idea. It always annoys me when I can’t tick them off the main list and I end up highlighting them.
Jessica, I love the length your hair *looks* at around the 22 minute mark!!! That would be a great shorter hair option if you ever wanted a chop 😊
