Best Baby Toys For An Airplane Flight

I’ll admit when my kids were babies I never considered that having some fun toys on hand to pass the hours in air might be a good idea, or maybe it was just that they were such good travelers that the toys and games idea was only necessary when they were well beyond the toddler years. This year we’ll be traveling with an adorable 9 month old in our family group, and since one flight will be 14 hours long, I though it might be a good idea to research how to travel with a baby! I learned some really great tips, including bringing a bag of new toys they’ve never seen before, and make sure they have suctions cups to attach them to the window (a window seat is a huge plus) or at the least to the fold down tray do they don’t end up on the floor all the time! Okay keep on reading for the condensed version of all the tips I learned, including the best baby toys for airplane travel!

Best Baby Toys For Airplane Travel

1. Make sure toys are things baby has never seen before
2. Only take out the toys once baby has explored his surroundings and needs something new
3. Of course, don’t take out everything at once, start with just a few items
4. Use a flat fidget toy like the lemon here as a snack tray for placing little snacks in each indentation
5. Suction toys that spin are especially entertaining
6. Animals with accordian arms and legs and suction, like the monkey might be really fun!

General Tips For Airplane Travel With A Baby

1. Figure out how many diapers you’ll need and then of course bring some extras
2. Bring little moccasins or shoes for baby so their feet stay clean
3. Bring at least one extra change of clothes for baby, and for mom/dad as well
4. If baby is bottle fed, prepare at least two bottles with formula already inside so you only need to add the water
5. Brings lots of snacks to keep baby occupied
6. If baby is noise sensitive consider headphones to block noise
7. If you’ll be holding baby, consider wearing baby in some way so your hands are free
8. Look into baby hammocks that attach to fold down tray
9. Consider bringing small thank you gifts for all the folks around you who may have been disturbed by your baby, yikes
10. Get plenty of rest before the flight so you can be calm and collected!

If you are lucky baby will sleep the whole time and you can save the toys for the trip back!
