Two weeks until lift off
This time in two weeks I hope to be enjoying my Friday night Swedish-style. No, we’re not planning on installing a sauna in Tin Box – we are in fact going to the actual Sweden.
It’s our first trip abroad with Tin Box Tot and her first ever flight. Eek! I’m already planning on having a none too small glass of wine when we get there.
Here’s some blogs I’ve found really useful – written by parents who’ve been there and done that when it comes to entertaining kids while travelling:
- Sam Barker has flown recently with her little boy. She came up with a fool-proof plan to execute on the plane and it worked! How to survive a plane trip with a toddler
- Sometimes Sweet has plenty of advice about family holidays – from where to stay to what to take with you – 10 tips for traveling with babies and kids
- Be prepared for everything and keep a smile on you face – that’s No boarding pass‘s approach – Travelling with kids
- I’ve downloaded this list of hand luggage must haves from Mummy travels – Travel checklist: your essential toddler travel toys
What are your toddler travel tips? I’ll be sharing at what worked for us when we return!

Thank you. We do have a very nosy little lady so I'm sure you're right. Whatever happens I'm really excited about having some family time :). Thanks for the great tips and for popping by 🙂
Ooh thanks for the link! Sounds from your other post like you're pretty organised 🙂 The other thing to remember is that for toddlers, this is a huge adventure and even the bits that seem stressful or boring to adults are exciting if you're doing it for the first time. And it almost certainly won't be as bad as you fear… Honest.
I totally agree and hope I remember this when something goes wrong (which it inevitably will). I'm generally quite a calm person, but travel can be a stressful activity. Wish us luck! Thanks so much for stopping by 🙂
Hope you have a wonderful holiday. I think my best tip for travelling with toddlers is to stay calm & in the hope that your little one(s) will feel relaxed too!
