Your top tips for overseas travel with babies and toddlers

Pack a spare top for yourself and your husband too. Fact: Flying for hours with poop on your top from a poo-splosion before even getting on the plane is yuck.

Great idea Meow! I'd planned changes for the girls, but I hadn't thought about what could end up on me (although I can't understand why, I'm with them every day lol).

I was going to say what Meow has - PACK SPARE CLOTHES FOR YOURSELF!!!! Clothes, not just a shirt. We've travelled a few times with ours and every single time DD2 will get travel sickness - plane, boat, train and bus. There is absolutely nothing worse than not being able to clean yourself up. Whenever we travel now I pack an entire change of clothe for myself plus an additional top. Hopefully you won't need it, but it will be invaluable if you do.

The only other suggestion I have that others haven't covered is you can buy from D!ck Smith, Tandy etc headphones that work on the plane that are specifically for kids - much better for your big girl than trying to use the plane ones that will constantly fall off
