hifi_enthusiast Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 I guess this is the holiday preparation season. How to entertain 2+yr old kids on 10+hour flight? Too young to play PSP/Nintendo. mp3 player? portable video player? any advice? :)
dbchoong Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Leave them with non-traveling relative. ;) Usually kids sleep half the journey - so you've got the other half left. At less than 3 years old, hand-held games might not be a solution - so maybe some stuff like colouring picture books, small toys, cartoons/Barney/Mickey videos might help (bring original - don't want to get caught as pirate ;)). :)
adeng Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 i guess that depends on the kid's personality and interests, as the parent, u should be the best person to know how to entertain ur kids ;) btw, annoyed kids could be really annoying on the plane. i was one of the victims two weeks ago on my flight to zurich. abt the time everyone was getting some sleep, a kid started screaming, nonstop for at least one hour! it was really terrible, and because of not resting well, i got bad headache the next day when i reached. :-\
Spunky Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 On my girl's 1st trip on the plane, she fell sick the moment we took off...the rest can be imagined! So make u have a change of clothes in your hand-carry and also towels and wipe...try not to depend on the airline ;) 10+hr in a confined space for kid...nightmare!! u shd have tried shorter trips, eg, coach to Msia before that!! Think my 1st family trip was to Genting. Even before reaching Tuas chkpt, my boy started asking 'how long more?'...imagine how long was my suffering!!! ;D
karlie Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 And don't forget to tell us which flight you will take, so that we can avoid it ;) For 2yrs plus, bring them their favourite plush toys, books and cartoons (bring portable DVD player). Basically activities which they associate with rest, quite, sleep.
Norman_Chan Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 1st trip with kid out will be most fun ....mine was vomit in the taxi during the trip to the airport ...my wife need to change her clothing when reach airport and I need to change my T-Shirt and kept on saying sorry to the taxi driver who need to send his taxi for internal car wash ... lucky that was all happen .... So ...never fully feed your kid during travelling trip period and bring extra clothing on hand just in case vomit happen. Keep some plastic bags in the hand bag ...and bring some medicate oil just in case need to apply ...on your head or kid tummy .... Does the kid has own seat ? If sleeping on the baby casket bed in the first row ...be careful the metal frame work that your kid may knocked on it ...mine got a baby bear from the air line because the cloth covering the baby casket bed frame was exposed and offer no protection .....
