Flying as a family got to be too expensive for my family when we got to four members. Now we're at 6 (4 kids and 2 adults) and haven't flown as a family in 6 years. We mostly drive places, as my kids get older maybe we'll fly again as a family, maybe Hawaii like you or Cabo.

No. There's no official limit

Thanks! Looking forward to your Safari report! And yeah. We've definitely come to rely on the convienences of city life for supporting our little one 😉

[@tianjiwang1512]

Hey Chris, also planning a Maui trip with our infant. Since our little one goes to sleep before 8pm pacific time, which is 6pm Hawaii time, what could the parents do afterwards without being trapped in the small hotel room? We are thinking about putting her to the stroller bassinet and just walk around the resort. Any other ideas?

[@onlyinjapanGO]

Thank you for sharing this! I hope our trip is as good as yours for our little one ٩(^‿^)۶

[@YellowProductions]

I hope so too!

[@joydaily5229]

You are a rockstar

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Joy!

[@hotgrease]

Great tips! I will say that booking an overnight flight was the worst thing I did for my 10 month old. She slept 1 hour on the 8 hour flight and I was exhausted trying to take care of her and trying to keep her quiet to be respectful of others sleeping. Might work for some but if it doesn’t then prepare for torture.

[@YellowProductions]

Ooof! Thanks for sharing that experience to warn others 😉

[@jennifertorres7119]

Great tips! I know you didn’t list this as a tip, but why didn’t I think of putting the car seat in the stroller basket?! Perfect fit! 🤯 FYI, UppaBaby sells car seat and stroller bags that have a guarantee if they get damaged while using their bags.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Jennifer!

[@vegastocali]

She is precious. I've been waiting for this video for 12 years 😂 Parents are going to appreciate this video. 👍Let me know if you need Tips traveling to Vegas with a Toddler, kid, teen. We started taking her at 8 months. And if you know where to go and what to do you can have a great kid friendly Vegas Vacation.

[@YellowProductions]

I do plan to do a "Things to do in Vegas with kids" video at some point. So yes.. I would love your expertise to add to that video :)

[@esctasyhaiti2693]

Did you buy an airplane seat for the toddler?

[@abbeyjean3255]

Does it cost to hate check the stroller/seat

[@melissatomelden8125]

Chris just a suggestion when you visit Vancouver try eating at kingyo izakaya Japanese cuisine and also Chung chun rice hot dog both are in downtown Vancouver . 😊

Thanks for the tips Melissa!

[@ritikabhargava118]

Thanks for this video. One quick question please - Is it mandatory to carry a car seat for a toddler of around 21months if we book a seat for the toddler? Does airlines restrict us to board the plane if we don't carry a car seat?

[@YellowProductions]

No. You don't need a car seat. Toddler can just sit on your lap

[@cowboys4life956]

Your baby is soo beautiful, she could be a baby model.

[@YellowProductions]

Know any baby model agents? :)

[@pacificYO]

Great tips! New parent here - how old is your kid? For reference mine is almost 1 years old.

[@YellowProductions]

18 months

[@lizmolsen4020]

How did you bring the Osprey backpack? Did you check it?

[@YellowProductions]

Yeah. I checked it

[@anythingaboutlife5804]

Hi!! I’m curious. Did you use a carseat on the plane? Maybe i just didn’t see it. We are travelling soon with our 18th and i am not looking forward to it. 🤪🤣

[@YellowProductions]

Indeed we have used a car seat on the plane. Actually thats the thumbnail picture here. The uppababy Mesa. Really good if your kiddo needs to sleep on the plane. And that way we don't have to check or gatecheck the car seat. Just bring it on the plane and use it as a seat.

[@anythingaboutlife5804]

Thank you! ❤

[@ohcleanduh3352]

What about carrying car seat n stroller? Which one shall we leave behind

[@YellowProductions]

You can get check both!

[@danielleswidan30]

How often do you still use the inflatable foot test still?

[@YellowProductions]

Now that she's 3 years old we don't

[@oc6988]

What stroller do you use when you travel?

[@YellowProductions]

We have 2. The Uppababy Cruz and the Ergobaby Metro+

[@abbeyjean3255]

Does it cost to gate check the stroller/seat

[@YellowProductions]

Free

Hi Chris, does the baby carrier count as a carry-on?

I checked in the baby carrier as luggage.

[@missjazzy1985]

What kind of car seat do you have ?

[@YellowProductions]

We had the Uppababy Mesa while she was smaller... and now have the Nuna Rava, and Clek Foonf for our home cars... both of those are heavy and don't travel.

[@angelmenjivar91]

Is it required to take a car seat going on a trip with my 2 year old?

[@YellowProductions]

On the plane? No. But if you're going to be getting a rental car in the USA then they likely need a car seat

[@jaleesaamanze-okoroafo8596]

Was enjoying the tips up until the African Safari part. I'm guessing they are not "first world" huh?

[@jadecummings8093]

I wonder what is her name, I want to know for sure!

[@cookhall08]

Dad, great video until the end "first world" is out dated and derogatory. Following it up with "plan your African Safari.." was a deadly blow. You clearly put a lot of thought into the video but things fell apart there. I was gonna share this video but I just can't now. Your daughter is a gem and you seem like a present and engaging dad. Please teach her that we don't refer to places as first and third world anymore.
