New Blog site with Tips to Travel with Tots!

Tonight I was listening to the 24/7 Mom live webcast and learned of a really cool new blog site.  Its a spot where another mom blogs about all sorts of tips to travel with children!  The best thing I learned tonight is when you are flying with young children that are 16+ months and don't necessarily want a bottle right away, pack a bunch of snacks in zip lock bags to bring out during the flight (10+ types) and feed the salty snacks first (gold fish, pretzels, etc) and then when the flight takes off they will want their sippy cup of water and you'll be happy since their ears will equalize with the pressure and you'll deal with less of a fuss!  Also, another great tip was to buy triangle crayons so they won't roll-off the tray!

The website has a GREAT article with Tips for Travelling Alone with Young Children too!

Travel-Tot provides families with an easy, temporary, non-damaging way to childproof hotel rooms, motel rooms, even grandma’s house!  Items included in the kit are: finger pinch guard, electrical outlet plug covers, foam corner guards, door knob cover, cord wind-up, sliding door lock, cabinet lock, multi-purpose straps, water thermometer, bandages, forehead thermometer, and “shhh, Travel-Tot sleeping” door hanger.

Cost = $29.95

Don't forget the triangle crayon idea to avoid them rolling all over the floor.  They would be great for plane rides and even restaurants!

Now if you are like us and pack as much as you can in the least amount of suitcases you'll end up having to worry whether or not you'll have to pay an extra fee for your heavy bag.  There's a new site that has a 3 oz scale you can travel with to weigh your bag!  Check this out...

Did I mention I LOVE watching the 24/7 MOMs webcast every Tue night at 8pm PST?  Tonight I got to hear about the above great tips (and more) AND I won a prize!  All the products they discuss they have a give-away at the end.  All you have to do is chat about anything while they broadcast & have fun!  I won an airplane tray cover which is a genius idea to protect your kids from those germs, get to play games by slipping paper under the plastic cover, and it has pockets for all their goodies!  Of course since i have twins I won 1 and am buying a 2nd tonight with this promo code...."247Moms1" from Amazon!

 

Thank you 24/7 Moms!
