So much easier with a baby! I have had different experiences with buggy's and airlines as well. <br /><br />I also found Heathrow to be very family unfriendly compared to Schipol, Kula Lumpur, Singapore even Stavanger!<br /><br /><br />Happy traveling! And wet wipes are a must at any age!!! My DD is heading towards four!<br /><br />Eeek - also a single mum approaching 40Eeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414831229655360486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-13415680490415298872011-05-08T00:49:04.143+03:002011-05-08T00:49:04.143+03:00Great post!

I travelled by air with a small baby and then 2 small kids a lot (a few years ago - mine are 11 and 9 now) as my husband's mother was very ill in America (and we live in the UK). I often flew solo with them so I understand the challenges all too well! I think the hardest part is when they need to sleep but they're too big for the fold-down cot. Or when they need a sleep but are too well established in their home routine to consider kipping on an airplane seat without a major screaming fit first. Ah, I rememebr it well.

Last time I tried it didn't even turn up at the end journey and I just abandoned the pushchair - it was an old crappy one we had once been given at Manchester airport when ours failed to turn up... could not be bothered standing in line to report it missing. Just wanted to get home.janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02064990087360509336noreply@blogger.com
