Toddler Air Plane Travel Essentials ✈️🍼👶
12
items We flew with my 13-month-old to Italy from NY - it was an 8+ hour flight (there was an hour delay both ways). Talk about nightmare fuel! I was SO NERVOUS but luckily a few solid recommendations from friends and family really helped us pull through. T...

Make Space 🎧
My son was slightly too young for this - but I will not be returning!!
This came recommended by a friend, and the way my niece was constantly shifting fears to wanting different toys and coloring…I can’t imagine using something else that would let ...
Lusso Gear Airplane Tray Cover for Kids
Bro all I wanted was a foot rest on my 8 hour flight!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot emphasize this enough. Just get it.
I thought, “well we didn’t have to buy a seat for my son, so where am I going to put my legs when he’s sleeping on this?” CORRECTION, MOM...
JefDiee Inflatable Foot Rest Pillow, Adjustable 3 Layers
These came in clutch! It bought us a good 30 minutes of quiet time. The active noise canceling was totally necessary, and the safe-volume limit was honestly such a relief. Ms. Rachel time was a success.
You probably know how hearing on a plane can ...
MIDOLA Kids ANC Headphones Bluetooth 5.4 Foldable
If you’re traveling with a very small child and are worried about the plane being too loud, I would get these. I have them for my son for outdoor events, and while he won’t wear them, they are definitely very effective in terms of reducing noise!
J...
Alpine Muffy Baby Ear Protection - Yellow
When it came time for takeoff, and for adjusting to the time change, these were it. I was able to give these to my son without feeling guilty for drugging him with Benadryl or another actual drug.
He slept 3 hours for the first leg of the flight ho...
Pink Stork Baby Sleep Drops, Chamomile & Magnesium, 1 oz
Toys 🧸
My 2-yr-old niece was obsessed with this on our trip (and lowkey, so was I. So soothing). She colored for a combined literal hours on this pad. It dries quick, but not too quick, if you catch my drift.
Horizon Group Bluey Aqua Art Reusable Pages
This is another one I can think my 2-yr-old niece for. She absolutely loved these blocks and needed my help to learn how to stack them without having them fall over every time. We spent a lot of time learning and playing with these blocks for the ent...
OUXIA Magnetic 3D Puzzle Cubes Set of 7
Did my son drop these pieces all over the plane? Yes. Did I care? No. It did keep him busy and that’s the point.
There’s a big learning opportunity here where every time I take a piece and put it back for him, I tell him what it is or I tell him wh...
Toddler Busy Board Montessori Toy 10 Pages
Another one to thank my two-year-old niece for. My son actually enjoyed playing with her by sticking and re-sticking these stickers on these little paper boards.
Lightweight, relatively inexpensive and OK if you lose a couple of the stickers!
Kalysky 6Set 3D Reusable Puffy Sticker Books
Food/Snacks 🍱
Big fan of this. There’s a lot of places that will give you hot milk in Italy, but when you’re waiting on a train platform, or sitting on a bus, these are really a lifesaver. My son drink this no problem!
A really lightweight solution to the altern...
Voyager Toddler Milk On The Go, Organic, 16 Sachets
If you wanna carry around some snacks without looking ridiculous with a huge cooler, I really liked this bag. I have one in white and pink (not shown) and it was really spacious enough to hold enough snacks for the trip. I only put a handful of cold ...
Lilly Pulitzer Cute Cooler Bag, Large Insulated Tote, Pink
While I chose to bring powdered milk with me, I wanted to have a small cooler for our travels during the trip. This was great for holding two pouches and utensils plus maybe an applesauce or a small plum during our daily travels.
I’m sure it would ...
