Compact travel toys, suitable for a train journey to keep a 14 month old quietly occupied?
So far I can only find aquadoodle!
Answer
The "Haba Dragonstone Castle" is a nice toy; you can set up all sorts of scenarios and stories to play out. The dragon rattles, but very quietly. It comes in a little plastic zippered case, easy to take along.

traveling with toddler, tips please?
joy
first, can I take juice boxes on the plane? or bottled milk?
i plan on bringining a portable dvd player and have him carry his little backpack with toys... any tips?
also, he had an ear infection last month, is there anything that we should take with him?
first my toddler normally behaves.... and that's funny that a person thinks they can control a toddler with a flip of a switch...
he's been on plane a number of time.... but this is the first since he's turned the big 2... after 6 weeks he was traveling to visit his grandparents.

As a seasoned travelling mom with great travelling kiddos, here's my advice...
First of all...you are allowed to bring juice, milk and formula. The 3 ounce rule does not apply to these items for families. They may pull you aside and in extreme cases, test the liquids for explosives. This has not happened to me, but I know that there is a chance that could happen.
A DVD player is a great idea, make sure you have a spare battery, just to be sure. Also, buy him some new toys, and wrap them. If he starts to fuss, pull one of the presents out, and that will keep him happy for at least a while! The Crayola markers that only draw on the special paper are a hit...so are Matchbox Cars and Etch-a-Sketch too. Little snacks are good too--fruit snacks, goldfish, etc. Try not to bring things that might be messy! If he had an ear infection a month ago, he's probably fully recovered, and you have nothing to worry about.
The most important lesson I have learned is...
Even if your child is SCREAMING, It does not matter what other people think. All that really matters is that you and your child enjoy yourselves. If that means that you have to sing silly songs or turn that Barney DVD up nice and loud, it doesn't matter! Don't get stressed. Anyone who has children won't judge you...they've probably been in your shoes, and those who 'get annoyed' with you will regret that they were mean when they become parents!
Best of luck to you. Safe travels! Enjoy yourself!
Oh yeah...don't listen to anyone who suggests that you medicate your child. NOT a good idea.
