We are going to Cedar point this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and to the Toledo Zoo on Monday. The drive down to CP is about 5 hours from home. We will have two toddlers at Cedar Point along with four adults and two teenagers.
Answer
What fun - lol; planning the drive around nap or sleep time is always a great idea. However, if that is not possible, try allowing everyone in the car to pick some songs to hear. The teenagers will be able to tollerate the toddler songs if they know they will get to hear something they want (within reason). Picture books, paper and pen, road games - car colors, snacks, lots of stops and some of their favorite toys are some things that have helped me. As a last resort, if you don't have any, find a friend or family member that is willing to let you borrow their travel dvd player and let them watch movies - Babe, Pig in the City is a decent family movie.
Good luck! And remember, family road trips are things that memories are made from. Think Vacation and RV - lol

Have you ever taken a long distance flight with your toddler?

If so, how was the experience from your, the travelling parent's, point of view? Tips for do's and don'ts. Stories good or not so would be welcomed.
I am hoping to make the best of a 12 hour plus flight for baby, me, and everyone else on board.
Answer
Yes to taking my children on long haul flights, from newborns to teenagers.
Dress the baby in PJ's and have a clean outfit to change into just before you land...make them feel as comfortable as possible, pack a bag of a few (one or two) soft toys and a blanket for them. for coping with pressure of their ears let them suck on a dummy (depending on age) while the plane lands and takes off or let them sip water from a bottle the sucking action will help. Have plenty of wipes and let them have small frequent snacks throughout the flight and when they sleep go to sleep as well.
