Hi again,

Thanks very much for your replies. Gives me lots to think about! I will def. pack a mountain of snacks and toys.

Lukesmum, I'll be traveling on my own this time. You're not going to believe it, but on that one hour flight we actually left her nappy bag in the terminal by accident! My DH was insisting on running off the plane to look for it but they told him to sit down and behave himself because we were already moving. By some divine intervention, I had her dummy in my pocket and she was carrying her blanket, so it wasn't too bad in the end though I was nearly in tears at the lost nappy bag We did get it back on the way home thank goodness.

Seriously, I don't know how you guys (and other parents) do it. Especially with babies that can't sit still for a second. DD kept kicking the back of the seat in front of us. The poor dude kept turning around to give us evils

I will fork out for a child fare so she can have her own seat. If they let me have a bassinette, then better yet. She's a big, heavy bubba and long too, so we'll see how much I can stretch the truth. She hates sleeping upright, it's gotta be flat or nothing.

I read about brining your own car seat, but I suppose the flight crew will help to install it? Eeek...I will have to juggle a wriggly DD plus carry on plus car seat. I am wondering if she will be walking by then...I'm guessing probably!

Ahhh. Fun times traveling with kids innit? :P
