Travelling with an infant : tips ?

[Squiddley]

Dear all,

http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/Forum51/HTML/000150.html

Posted in the SLF corner, but the gist is we're travelling with the baby HKGLHRHKG soon and would really appreciate some tips. Things like what to bring that folks always forget, what makes life "easier" and such like would be really appreciated.

I'm also keen to know what the {from the website blurb} "exclusively designed by Britax" infant safety seat that reclines is like, as this would certainly save bringing ours and having to lug it.

TYIA!

Get yourself in about row 15 to 20 and pop it in the hatbin at row 45 to 50!!

Either that or you may find Airbuses still have a good size gash-compactor!!!

Squiddley, try these sites:

Infants up to 12 mths old usually travel pretty OK (ours was until he approached 2 yrs old! - he was stress-testing the window shade on a trip 4 days ago...had to relocate him)

Good luck and lots of fun on your trip.

Strikie,

Many thanks - flyingwithkids is a real gold mine! I've printed off most of it to go over later with the missus. Plenty of information there.

I rather like the idea of "change my baby" - preferably into a 21 yr old, educated super model or lottery winner :) Failing that, the next Tiger Woods will do!

Thanks again
