my babies had more stamps in their passports before the age of 1 than I did at the age of 18😂 I’ve traveled SOLO & abroad with my babies as well, done carryon only with babies multiple times, and my top top lesson traveling with littles is a GOOOD carrier & the right bags This seems small but it’s the difference of becoming a chaotic storm while trying to calm a screaming baby or toddler, not lose your phone, grab their paci, change a blowout, and just simply get on and off the plane effortlessly and calmly while not feeling like you’re carrying 500lbs of children and bags 😂 in general you want as little # of items as possible which sounds backwards cause why do babies need so many things 😂 I’ve found a rolling carryon suitcase (mine is @miamilyofficial which doubles as a seat for my little one or me too!!) to be WAY better when traveling with a little one because it’s just easier to roll around - but it’s essential for your personal bag to SLIDE OVER THE HANDLES securely - you want a travel friendly bag or backpack. 👏 And second is the carrier!!!! I find getting on and off the plane is the smoothest possible when your little one is strapped to you (so your hands are free!!)- I’ve been using the @miamilyofficial one and wish I had it sooner because it can be worn so many ways and grow with your baby to toddler and even convert into a hipster carrier as well 👏 familytravel babytravel traveltips LTKTravel
