We are going to the beach this summer its going to be a 6 hour drive. I Know we are going to have to make some stops to stretch and such but I need good car travel toys for my daughter to play with. So if any one has links to toy sites or names of toys that are good for traveling please send them.


Answer
When our son was around that age we purchased one of those kids trays that go over their lap that you can put paper and color on. We bought it at Toys R Us, for about $10. The large sized leggo's help, and so does a good ole DVD player with Baby Einstein movies (This is the only time I will put my little one in front of the TV. Get some kid CD's with songs like the Alphabet song, and all of the classic kid movies. Lastly, McDonalds is a GREAT place to get out. You can get a snack and your little one will get to see other kid's. Good Luck and drive safe!

What are some tips for traveling with an infant?

My husband and I, along with our now 3 month old son (he'll be about 5 months when we do travel), will be flying internationally from germany to the states and back, then from germany to Ireland and back. I know we need our passports, we've already have then... So does anyone have any tips for us? This will be the 1st time he's flown, hence the question. Thanks!!!


Answer
Been there done that...
- Diapers (Airlines might have it but keep some handy)
- Have medication for cough, cold and other general medicines.
- we had consulted the doctor on what needs to be done and any vaccination that needs to be taken when we are in the other country. Name of the medicine/vaccination in that country.
- Extra pair of clothes (2-3 pairs)
- Call the airline and ask them for the first seat. (that has the facility to put your baby into a pram like thing that gets attached to the wall before the seat.) Do this one well in advance as these go fast. To make sure when you reach the airport doubly make sure that they are giving you that seat. When you board the plane and when you reach the airport be the first to be there so that you get the first seat. Even if you call in advance when you reach the airport you might not get the seat and hence you have reach the airport well in advance.
- for in-flight - couple of small toys to keep the baby busy and MOST importantly pacifiers (specially while take off and landing as the pressure changes and the baby's ear get blocked and the baby does not know what to do, in this case pacifiers help.)
- Note that you might carry milk/milkbottle (as you might want to carry the brand that you are using like similac) etc but dispose of the milk when you reach the other country as they might fine you for bringing that into the other country.

It has been a few years and hence remember on this.
