YES I can imagine how scary it must be to be flying but keep in mind In the 21st century, flying in modern jets is more than a hundred times safer than driving. Statistically, itâs even safer than being asleep at home in your bed.Safety is an accumulation of knowledge about risk converted into practice, and no other mode of transportation has been as expansive as flying in incorporating what we know about the fallibility of humans and machines. As a result, the act of hurtling through the air at 500 mph six miles above the ground is less likely to result in your demise than almost any other type of travel. From the plane seats to the cabin air to the course and altitude of the flight, every decision in commercial aviation comes after careful consideration of its impact on safety. Here, in broad strokes, are the most significant.
Traveling with a BABY can be nerve recking too I recently went to DR with my child. I must say that The food was FANTASTIC! I am a picky vegetarian and my daughter is a pretty impatient diner and we were both ok. We mostly ate at the Puerto plata side buffet (lots of choices, including pasta, omelet bars, etc). It was no problem to get a high chair and the staff were very nice and understanding about the mess! Our tips were according to the size of the mess We went to a Mcdonalds and had fun. I would have liked to try the other restaurants, but my daughter wonât sit still for very long
The Baby club is excellent and there is a big playpen and kiddy pool for all of the babies and toddlers. Both are really meant for 6 months and up of age, we participated and played at both .The BABIES looked like they were having a great time! They have Dominican who take pictures of people holding a monkey, iguana, parrots, etc. The pictures turn out great and only cost $3. We purchased an awesome family picture of the three of us with a monkey. Very cool!
Bring lots of things to give away (baby toys, toiletries, etc.). The gardeners and security staff were the happiest about receiving little gifts, as they have the least contact with tourists and probably donât receive as much.
THE Dominican Republic was amazing...so enjoy yourself and dont worry be happy

plane ride with a 3 year old?
Moo moo I'
Going from sc to cali what can I bring on the plane it's going to be a 5-6 hour flight ? How do you keep a 3 y/o calm on the flight?
Answer
There are a few things you can do when traveling by air with a 3 year old or any child for that matter.
- If you can, travel first class or business class.
-Try taking a late evening flight that normally begins an hour or two before their bed time. They might sleep through most of the flight. For shorter trips, you can try to schedule near nap time, but this could work against you due to possible crankiness prior to the nap.
- Try to avoid any deviation from your child's normal schedule prior to the flight and during the flight to help insure a good mood. Keep meal times on time.
-Bring along a portable DVD player and some of your child's favorite DVDs. I would put away the DVDs that keep your child's attention the most, for a few weeks before the flight so that they are even more apt to watch it on the plane.
Just a note on portable DVD players: Some models have a very short battery life (1.5-2 hours max). You might have to pay a little more, but go for one with a long life battery and charge it up before heading to the airport. If you are able, purchase a second battery pack for it. It can come in very handy if you're flight is delayed.
-Bring an assortment of some of the child's favorite small toys like cars, crayons and paper, a small doll, or some blocks. Hide these toys a few weeks before the flight so they are excited to see them when you pull them out on the flight.
-Snacks, snacks, snacks!! Bring snacks. Now is not the time to deal with the typical toddler eating issues. Pack along some of their favorite snacks, but try to make sure they've eaten a good meal before getting on board or if the airline is serving a meal, check to see if they serve special kids meals.
The snacks should also be a good fill up food in the event you are delayed. I find peanut butter crackers work well for this.
- Remember that the airlines (TSA) have limited the amount of liquids and other items you may bring on a plane. I would educate yourself before you fly. Link below.
- Baby wipes, washcloth, change of clothes.
- Most airlines require that you purchase a child that is 3 years old, their own plane ticket, which gives them their own seat. I would suggest bringing their car seat along on the plane. They are used to sitting in it when you're driving and are more apt to sit still while in it (it's also safer, just in case). An alternative would be using the CARES System Instead of Carseat.
-Try to get bulkhead seating. This leaves no one sitting in front of you to be bothered by their seat getting kicked and less people to be bothered by a grumpy 3 year old. It also gives the little one more room to play.
- Let your child run around the airport and expend some energy before getting on board.
- Bring enough food, diapers, etc. in the event of a delay.
- Flight attendants will sometimes help if you have to go potty or your child is sleeping and you want to walk around. Ask, but don't expect.
- Don't forget blankie or their favorite teddy bear. ***Just a hint, go buy another of those essential comfort items and pack in your luggage. I cannot tell you how many times my daughter's Fluffy, got lost while travelling and we had to deal with an unhappy kid the rest of the trip.
- Pack all toddler's essentials in a backpack that is comfortable for you to wear, but is stow able as carry on luggage. You will probably have to carry the little one and trying to do so while lugging around a suitcase isn't easy.
- If possible, bring someone to help you. Mom, dad, sister, cousin. It's easier to have two adults to entertain a child.
If your child gets fussy and you're permitted to leave your seats, take the child to the bathroom to play in the water. One of the sources below also gives an idea of other things to do in the bathroom to keep your child occupied.
Use seatguru.com to figure out which seats are best. Avoid seats in front of or behind exit rows as they might make you move using a carseat.
Be prepared for delays and know that it is becoming more frequent that airlines are kicking fussy children off planes. Consider the possibility and try to avoid triggers that might set your child off. I am all for discipline and being consistent with your child, but if they want a cookie and you have one, give it to them. It will save your sanity for the flight. Try to plan for your child's needs.
Good luck! Try to enjoy yourself!
