@@thepixiedustedmom yes! My trip went smooth sailing until the TSA agent put my son’s car seat in the X-ray machine and it got stuck 🤦🏻♀️ they had to close the whole lane down and take the machine completely apart. I was so thankful to the very kind TSA agent who helped me carry the car seat to the gate because my plane was boarding and we almost missed our flight…talk about stressful.
Thank you so much! Im preparing for a Mommy and Me Disney trip with my 1 1/2 year old. The fact you thrived traveling with two eases my mind. 👍🏼 Thank you for your tips.
@@NextLevelMeNow 100%!! It was the most magical trip life. Good planning and going back to the resort for breaks were crucial for it's success, but the memories were worth every trouble.
Travelled with a first born toddler for 33 hrs to and 27 hrs back, flight with 2 lay over. But thank God I have my husband with and we did it. This time I'm prepping for another trip (same country) but only with my youngest, 1 yr old toddler. Just thinking about it, I'm loosing my sanity already.
Your videos are super helpful, thank you!! We also have the Uppababy Vista stroller and flying soon. I've seen where you have to take the wheels off in order to get it through security? Did you have to do this or would it be easier to get another double stroller for travel purposes?
We had an absolutely horrible first and only experience flying Spirit with our boys on our most recent vacation. We paid extra to have our seats together and the airline spread us all throughout the plane making each of us sit alone- including our toddler and they got upset when we told them to fix it. The flight home was canceled twice after we had gone through security and got to the gate and our seats we’re screwed up again. It might be nice to save a few extra dollars on tickets, but you pay for it in other areas. I am appalled that flight attendant told you to hand over your sweet baby and turned an already stressful situation into something so much more than it needed to be. Sure it would be difficult to wrangle the two of them in such a small space, but personally I wouldn’t want either of my children out of my reach and especially with a complete stranger. I can’t imagine having to go through that!
I'm so sorry that happened to you guys!! We haven't payed extra for assigned seats and they put us together on all of our flights so far. It's a requirement that they put children under 12 with their parents so they shouldn't have done that to you guys! She was very kind and just doing her job since there are only two oxygen masks in the bathroom I understand the rule, it wasn't fun but we made it. We were also experiencing quite a bit of turbulence so it was the safer place for her at the time.
You are BRAVE! 👏🏼 I personally would never do this and I only have a one year old. I would be too scared 😂😂 my daughter is a runner and I’d have a nervous breakdown if I had to worry about two 😂
@@thepixiedustedmom how can we keep the stroller with us on the flight? I have 1 and 2.5 year old with me and we are about to take 8hrs long flight. Kindly help
@@sabeezee260 Gate checking the stroller (if your airline allows) will be how you can use it through the airport. Most airlines allow this but a few don’t.
One other weird inflight safety thing (from a former flight attendant) is you can’t baby wear during take off or landing, so don’t let your baby fall asleep on you while boarding because you will have to take them out until you’re in the air 😢 same for landing
@@thepixiedustedmom It’s a little bit morbid but in a worst case scenario if there was a crash and something happened to mom they would want to be able to get baby to safety as quickly as possible. It’s also a safer position for baby during impact to be in your arms where there’s some “give” than strapped to you.
Hi Ashley new subscriber here! I'll be flying soon with the same stroller as you. Did you pack the stroller in the Upp baby vista bag or you just fold it at the gate before entering the plane. First time I'll be flying with double stroller and 3 kids solo. Thank you in advance
Those are a lot of great tips! I plan to fly back from Disneyland with my toddler in April, so good to plan ahead. What headphones did you use for Lucy? We will want headphones for our trip, so I would love recommendations! Thank you!
Great video thanks for your inputs… I am planning to travel with my toddler in a 13 hrs flight and I am just thinking how to eat or use washroom when he is sleeping😥 Eating might be more challenging when he is on my lap with the limited leg space even when he is awake
I have been enjoying many of your packing videos so much. We are planning to fly soon with our 2 year old but are uncertain what to do about a car seat. Mainly for travel to and from the airport and maybe one or two more times in a vehicle to dinner etc. In your experience what has worked for you and would you mind sharing which car seats you have travelled with on the plane or just to bring. Thank you so much.
I live in the uk and im planning on travelling to paris end of the year and everyone is adking me am i scared ehich is making me nervous so watchjng thjs video helped put my mind at ease thankyou!
I definitely needed this video right now! I’m contemplating flying with my toddler and baby in February. They will be 2 and 5 months. I have a question about your uppababy vista, did you use a bag for it when you gate checked the stroller? We have the travel bag for the vista but don’t want to have to get a separate bag for the rumble seat 🤦♀️
You've got this!! I took the easy route and didn't use a bag for it but I did take the snack trays off and packed them in my suitcase so they didn't get broken. We have the travel bags for both but I just didn't want to deal with the extra hassle with two littles alone.
@@thepixiedustedmom great thanks! I also can’t see myself trying to take the stroller apart to get it in the bag. I’m just afraid it might get damaged. Glad to know it worked for you!
Hi! Love these sets of videos, they are really helping me get prepared for our Disney trip in just under 2 weeks with our toddler!! Do you recommend sitting in the front or back of the plane with a toddler?
I haven’t flown with my toddler yet, but we probably will next year. Unfortunately what we’re planning will be a super long flight (15-16 hours 🤪), but I’m sure a lot of these tips and tricks will still help a ton with that!
I have been to long flights (alone) with my toddler , and by long I mean 22 hours and with over 6 hours layover in airport One time we got a delay and stayed 30 hrs in the layover airport ( we booked a room ) I did it 5 times because my family lives far away and the hard part is airports not the plane itself I always make sure I pick night flights she would sleep most of the time 👍🏼 And usually on flights days I try my best for her not to nap it will make it so much easier to sleep as soon as we got in the plane
@@nourabinhumaid1865 Yeah, I think the key will be picking the right length layover. Long enough to get to the right gate, use a real bathroom, let little one get out some energy, and eat something. But not so long that we start getting antsy!
@@sheilamckinnon9063 exactly, also 4,5 hours are not as long as they seem when you’re in the airport time flies I remember every time I have a 1,2 hours layover I would miss the flights so I wouldn’t recommend it
@@sheilamckinnon9063 also one great tip when you’re alone with the toddler is pack light, I try my best to do that and I take one rolling backpack, when my daughter was under one it was the easiest ( so many naps + carrier)
Hi there, what app was your daughter playing while on the plane? Last time we flew my daughter had just turned 1 so wasn't as mobile and sat on my lap, but we leave for disney for her second bday in a few weeks and she's much more mobile so I'm trying to find as many good apps as possible!
I really like your videos. I'm about to travel for Disney with my 1 year old son but I don't have his birth certificate yet. Can I use his social or what else can I use instead?
I’m not sure if they accept anything in its place as it’s for checking their age. Sometimes they ask for sometimes they don’t. I was able to go to my local health department and get a copy of my daughters.
How to you fold up that stroller at the airport? I have a similar one but city select brand and it does not fold easily with the seats! Do you have a bag for it?
I have a 3 year old, 8 month old and 4 months pregnant. I travel often with my kids due to the military but not sure how its going to be with me being pregnant.
Is the birth certificate because you’re American and flew within the US? I’m from the UK and flying Florida - Nashville with an under 2 year old. I’m guessing because we’d have our passports anyway then the birth certificate wouldn’t be needed?
I’ve only ever flown with one toddler alone so anyone who flies with two is a rockstar in my book.
It's an adventure no matter how many. You are a rockstar!! ❤️

I flew to Adona Turkey with three ages 1,3 and 5. Had to change planes in Istanbul. Normal military wife life🇺🇸👍 We just do it.
You are amazing!!
Mam would it be easy to travel alone with these ages kids??
Wow
picking up a 1year old and a 9 month old from another state and bringing them back.. ugh i needed this
You've got this!! ❤❤
Thank you so much! Im preparing for a Mommy and Me Disney trip with my 1 1/2 year old. The fact you thrived traveling with two eases my mind. 👍🏼 Thank you for your tips.
How did it go? Was it worth it to go to Disney with a younger toddler?
@@NextLevelMeNow 100%!! It was the most magical trip life. Good planning and going back to the resort for breaks were crucial for it's success, but the memories were worth every trouble.

I’m sorry you had to go through it, it must have been really stressful!
Here in NZ, they ask you to take baby out of the carrier at security. I have 2 under 2. I get so much anxiety
Omg im flying w spirit as well. Only thing is I’m traveling w a 4 month old 2&3 year old ❤
You are BRAVE! 👏🏼 I personally would never do this and I only have a one year old. I would be too scared 😂😂 my daughter is a runner and I’d have a nervous breakdown if I had to worry about two 😂

How old are the two? Could a 2 year old sit on the plane without a carseat? I hope they could so i don't have to deal with a carseat
Planning to travel internationally with almost 3 and 1 yo to be. Im so nervous!!
may i know the stroller that you have? is it a double stroller?
It’s an uppababy vista. You can buy attachments to make it a double stroller
For the birth certificate, do we need to have an "official" copy or just a printed at home copy okay?
A copy is fine. :)

Do you recommend sitting in the front or back of the plane with a toddler?
We honestly don't have a preference. Being towards the front of the plane is helpful for getting off faster but it's usually more expensive.

Hi, do you travel with a car seat (for the toddler). If so how do you manage to haul it around?
Hey! We don't typically travel with our toddlers car seat but I have a friend who does and loves this. amzn.to/41YQGAQ
We use a car seat backpack and check the car seat at the gate

I just folded it with both seats on and gate checked it with no bag to keep things simple.
What double stroller you have?
She has the uppababy vista v2 with the rumble seat. I have the same and no idea how to travel with it without putting it on its special uppababy bag.
I have a 3 year old, 8 month old and 4 months pregnant. I travel often with my kids due to the military but not sure how its going to be with me being pregnant.
Holy moly woman! How do you do it?? I’m exhausted with just one, I want to have a second but I don’t know if I’ll make it!!
Is the birth certificate because you’re American and flew within the US? I’m from the UK and flying Florida - Nashville with an under 2 year old. I’m guessing because we’d have our passports anyway then the birth certificate wouldn’t be needed?
Yes, with domestic flights that is required. If your little one has a passport you can use that instead.
