I admire the independence and the fearless this mommy has! .. traveling alone, managing to fold an stroller, carry bags 💼, hold a baby and even having enough time to get breakfast! ... your tips are amazing for a 1st time mother who will be traveling soon with her 12 month old.

[@ThePossibilityMom]

Thank you, and so glad it was a help! I hope you and your little one have a fun adventure together!

[@surbs500]

I have watched within 10 videos re: traveling with baby and this one was SHORT, TO THE POINT, and beyond helpful. Thank you for sharing a practical way of traveling with a baby! I feel less anxious about traveling alone with baby, I’m gonna go for it.

[@ThePossibilityMom]

[@kaylanicholesolo]

I went through so many videos trying to find one just like this !! Thank you for walking us through every step ! I’ve been so nervous about our upcoming flight with our 4 month old and your video has put me a little more at ease

DO NOT BE NERVOUS

How was your traveling experience Kayla ? ... I’m traveling with a 12 month old baby and I’m very anxious 😦

[@kaylanicholesolo]

@@Alicewoods000 super easy! he slept the entire flight! BUTTT he was also only 4 months. He’s a lot more active now at 9, so I’d imagine I’d have to do a lot more entertaining if we flew at this age

Whoops, saw this late, I ask for the plastic bag at the family help desk where you check the car seat. One time they didn't have it and I went to the check in of another airline and got it.

[@Khadijakhadija-fb3uz]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Do you have any idea if the stroller weight included in the weight alloweded to take in the plane.

Flying with an 18 month old on Sunday, both flights are only 2 hours each but I’m nervous he’ll have a fit. I’ve been online for hours and people are not very understanding of babies on planes. This video was helpful and I love all the tips! Thank you 😭

@@Lilly9420tm it went extremely well! I downloaded some long episodes of kids shows on Netflix and brought snacks and bribing treats. The only time he had a fit was on our layover in a super busy airport bc he wanted to get out and walk, that’s when the bribing treats worked!

[@KenshoQuest]

Great tips! A baby carrier is so helpful when flying with a baby. We do a similar method but skip the stroller and bring a reusable bag for checking the car seat. I agree 100% about not needing to bring many toys on the plane! There are other things to entertain a baby. 🌺Heidi

We just did a 8 and 7 hour flight overseas from Holland to Toronto with our three kids (youngest is 9 months old also). It went really well. I never understand Why people stop travelling once they have babies! ☺️

[@ThePossibilityMom]

Maaike van Dijk-Bokkers oh my gosh awesome- do you have a tip I did not cover in this video?

[@maaikevandijk-bokkers944]

For international flights it is a bit different I guess. I ordered a vegan meal for my older kids and they got It before anyone else which was nice. Also, they have a baby cot for an overnight flight (we didn’t use ours, you have to reserve them).

[@ThePossibilityMom]

Maaike van Dijk-Bokkers that is so awesome. It is my dream to bring my kids (all of them lol) on an airplane and take them across the pond!!!!

Hey Hi just stumbled upon your video amazing tips, last week i travelled with my 6m baby girl to Maldives. All went on well, only difficulty was i just couldn't put her to sleep on flight,she wouldn't take feed to sleep.nothing could comfort her 😢 please advise next me month we ll be on 6hr flight to Bali

[@queenkibuti6312]

awww you are so Amazing! thanks for your tips, you make it look so easy. I am soon travelling to the UK from Ottawa with a 8months old and Hubby too, my biggest worry was how am i going to hold my baby while seating, is he going to sleep on me as well as he does n his crib? toys to bring! i thought i would have to buy a travel stroller bag , surprised airlines provide one supper helpful!

[@ThePossibilityMom]

Definitely ask if the flight is full, so you may be able to get reseated with an empty seat beside you to let him rest there. And if he sleeps on you not quite as well as the crib, at least it’s only 5 or 6 hours 😄

[@ThePossibilityMom]

i am so glad you liked it! What was most helpful to you?

[@amyroden5715]

You described everything into detail and videod everything:) most helpful was how you brought the car seat and stroller. I didn’t know that airlines didn’t count it as a baggage. I was worried I couldn’t bring my sons stroller. I will be flying by myself with my 9 month old in July and I was nervous until I saw this video♥️♥️♥️

[@ThePossibilityMom]

Wonderful! Glad it brought some relief. Happy travels to you both!

[@michellekim5029]

Sooo helpful....I'm flying from Vancouver to Paris with my 6-month old during COVID (we are moving) ALONE with no help...do you think I should not bother with the stroller bringing the stroller to the gate and just keep her in the carrier? We have to transfer too (2-hour layover). So maybe just check it in (it's not super easy to collapse, it's a bugaboo) before the flight?

[@ThePossibilityMom]

Michelle Kim I would do the stroller just so you can give your shoulders a break- and maybe get yourself a nice meal hands free! But 100% bring a bag for your stroller or use my plastic bag tip- they kinda just toss the stuff around under the airplane and we had the unfortunate experience of losing our sun canopy once when we flew without a stroller bag! Best of luck, you got this!!!!

[@iepurasul19]

How was it? Pls share

[@DavinaPearlDOTMH]

I’m so happy that you le tips we’re with the air line that we’re travelling with. FTM I’m sooo anxious about this flight 😅

[@ThePossibilityMom]

You will be great! You can do it

[@Roxypm1987]

Omg you are the first out of traveling with kids videos that has mention the family lane and that’s my biggest worry is the security point and I didn’t know it was available I checked ATL airport does. I’m traveling to California with two under two during Christmas season

[@ThePossibilityMom]

Oh wow! Yes, it is a huge relief to find that express lane. Also, when you are boarding, they let families with kids under two board earlier than general boarding, usually right after First Class. Make sure to listen for the announcement because I've seen families miss it and board with everyone else.

[@Roxypm1987]

Thank you so much you been such a big help honestly the most helpful video ❤️❤️ Definitely gave me little more relief I hate flying I get really bad anxiety I saw you mention the oils I might try it I never had.

[@shesellseashells]

So informative. Thank you I just wanted to know where did you keep the stroller before boarding the plane or who took that? I am a bit confused about it.

[@ThePossibilityMom]

Great question! You can bring the stroller right to the plane and gate check it. So they take it from where I left it and put it under the plane, and when you land you find it right back there. When you are about to board they will give you a tag for it

@@ThePossibilityMom heya this may be a dumb question but how does one manage to nurse during take off and landing when baby has to be strapped on to you during both times? 🤔

[@ThePossibilityMom]

natphin not a dumb question! The baby is actually not allowed to be strapped to you during take off and landing- if I understand correctly the logic is that if you had to evacuate, you can hand the baby off to someone else

Your baby is adorable. I am travelling alone with my 14 month old and 3 year old from Lima to Miami on a humanitarian flight since we got stuck in Peru when visiting family. This will be another ball game for me to travel with 2 under the current circumstances. Thanks for the tip on how to go to bathroom, may have to do the same and hope my almost 4 year old stays on the seat.

[@ThePossibilityMom]

I heard that it helps to nurse them when ascending and descending. That's what I do and no issues!

[@lg1603]

Hi Lisa - what exactly happens with your lap infant during take off and landing? If you dont have a car seat/baby's own seat how are you supposed to hold them? I keep seeing info on these child restraints but they seem to be for if the child has their own seat. Many thanks!

[@ThePossibilityMom]

You can keep the baby on your lap. The airline attendant will come over and tell you how to hold the baby during takeoff and landing but it's pretty intuitive. The car seat is an option for those who want the extra space and want to purchase an extra ticket for the baby.

[@shereena5700]

Wow the toilet part is genius. I was freaking out over that part

[@ThePossibilityMom]

Haha yup, that carrier comes in handy!

[@magdalenapietrzko5260]

Hi, do you know if they allow pushchair(carry cot) instead of stroller ? I'm planning traveling with 3months old baby but I don't think my baby is suitable for sitting in the stroller

[@carmelavillaceran7347]

Hello do you need to bring the base of the carseat with you? You know the one from the car the base . Just wondering if i have to bring the base and carseat and so it can be instAl easily to a rented car or i dont have to bring the base just a carseat and no trouble using just the cArseat upon arriving to a new city?

[@ThePossibilityMom]

This carseat can be used with our without the base, so I don’t bring it for travel. If you have a different carseat I would check the manual. The other option is to reserve one with the rental car company.

[@ThePossibilityMom]

You can gate-check your stroller. Take it right up to the plane and then wrap it in plastic. If you have a long layover you will want to have it to push the baby around in it and then repeat the process on the next flight. Note my hack in the video regarding the plastic bag!

Any tips to the baby 5months old, long trip morethan 24hrs of he cried inside the plane? Maybe he suffer earache or whatsoever.

[@ThePossibilityMom]

It could be, but the ear ache usually goes away with nursing or bottle or pacifier. Sometimes they just don’t want to be still for so long. I would just walk him and keep feeding him to distract him. But we had one 3 flight trip from Rio to Toronto and it was just hard. You do your best and hopefully they sleep for stretches and let you rest

Hi there, great question! This carseat is able to work without the base. The base is nice because it's very secure, but you can also just loop the seatbelt through part of the seat. Happy travels!

Glad it was a help! The carrier I am wearing is by Boba and yes, it's the only one I currently use. Here is a link: amzn.to/2RyNtWV

How you book a flight ticket and add your infant ?? I hope you can help me thank you

[@ThePossibilityMom]

It's pretty straightforward for most airline sites I've used, although one of the 3rd party sites I bought from had me call the airline afterward to notify them of the child. You do have to pay tax for their travel but not a ticket for a seat (if you don't want a seat for them).

Thank you so much for the info!!! One question @Lisa Canning , what about the car seat base if I need to transport to my destination. What should I do?

[@ThePossibilityMom]

I used a car seat where the base is optional. An alternative would be to use a rental car company and reserve a car seat. Hope that helps!

Thank you for the video it is very helpful. But something no one talk about. Do you have to pay for the car seat and stroller?

[@ThePossibilityMom]

No, not on any airline I have travelled with, they are complimentary. But if you are travelling with more of a budget airline, I would call them to double check.

when u gate check the Stroller and car seat, does it go inside the plane with you? If not do u have an idea where they keep it. I'm asking this because I realized u had access to it again at the gate of your destination. I'll be traveling with my 5months old baby and your video was so helpful. I'm using all your tips and hacks

[@ThePossibilityMom]

Amazing! When you gate check the stroller, they put it under the plane, but it comes out again once you land, so this is the easiest way to get around the airports with the baby. The car seat I checked (for free) as baggage at check in, so you would pick that up at the oversized baggage area near the baggage carousel. You get the tags for both of these items at the same time at the family area check in. Hope that helps!

@@ThePossibilityMom Thanks. 🤗

Do you find it easier to sit in the isle seat or the window when alone with baby? travelling alone with my 9 month old in a couple of weeks!

[@ThePossibilityMom]

Rob Rebus window. Just slightly more private, you can use the wall to lean on, less chance of bumps etc

[@lynnguyen9927]

To me is isle. Easy to get the food, drink, or rush to toilet. With a baby everything is predictable.

This was incredibly useful. Planning an 11h flight with a 9mo old...

[@ThePossibilityMom]

So glad! That's a long one. But we did three legs on a return flight from Brazil once with a 1 year old. THAT was a toughie but we survived :)

Thank you so much for sharing! I have a question though, why is a parental consent needed ? is there something specific as what to write?

[@ThePossibilityMom]

I actually don’t know the reason, but I believe it has to do with ensuring the safety of the child- the letter literally just has to say something like, “I consent my child is traveling independently with her mother” but definitely check with your airline / local government!

[@myriameb.t.8334]

Thank you for for sharing, informative video. Question: which airline do you recommend is best with space - I'll be traveling with my grandson.

[@ThePossibilityMom]

I found the bigger airlines had more space- Air Canada and West Jet in Canada, United in USA- whereas the budget airlines were way too tight. I would check if you can see the space between seats before you book and compare flights, but when in doubt I would pay a bit more for a bigger name airline.

Love this video, very helpful!!! Will be traveling with my little bundle of joy alone

[@ThePossibilityMom]

[@sravanim4857]

You can ask for them at the check in desk. I show this in the video.
