Tomorrow morning I am headed out to Salt Lake City, UT to visit my father and grandparents. I have a 20 month old daughter, who has flown before and a new 7 week old daughter. I'm pretty stressed about how to handle airports with little ones and carseats and toys etc... We are flying out of Manchester and into Detriot for a 1hr layover... I'd really like some helpful tips and advice from other parents who have flown with litttle kids.

honestly its very hard,i travel with my kids all the time now age 3 and 5.i would suggest get a magazine for older daughter and maybe something to colour in.also be prepared that their ears might hurt.obviously make sure their fed n always have water and snacks,they might sleep through the journey if you re lucky.
don't be embarrassed to ask for assistance from staff,and if you have luggage that you re taking on board you will have to get a passenger to help you as you cant carry your baby,hold on to your young daughter and carry bags.whenever i fly i feel like a superwoman lol
Good LUCK!!!

we're going to be camping in Colorado for a family vacation with my husbands siblings/dad/etc...there will be a 14 month old and my baby who is 3 months...what are some ideas for activities?
Answer
14 mo old - We bought a child carrier backpack for my first son and that sures makes nature oriented stuff easier. My son loved the pack, and so if we went on a hike he just road along in the pack, the sites alone will keep them entertained for the most part.
At 3 months you can get a front carrier, and tote that one along.
Wherever you camp, scout out the area very well before you let the 14 mo old wander around, make sure there are not any dangerous critters or bushes or whatnot. Have a big tent so they can also just use the tent as a playarea.
Buy a few new toys (don't go overboard) and give them a new toy when you first get there, when they bore of that one, give them another new toy.... depends on the attention span of your child how long this will or if it will work at all. (my 16 mo old this would never work, his attention span is like 3 minutes.)
