Flying with children checklist

The general rule is to pack light for a flight, that is, unless you are traveling with children. It is not easy for a child to sit quietly for hours at a time. As their parent or guardian, it is up to you to provide them with enough entertainment to make it to the end of flight.
Here are some items you may need or want to bring with you on the plane:

• stroller (check with your airline for related policies)
• diapers (enough for the flight and a few extra)
• wipes
• changing pad
• change of clothes
• bottles (enough for flight plus 2-3 extra)
• powdered formula (in pre measured container)
• snacks
• sippy cup
• bib
• medications
• favorite soft toy
• new small toys
• 1 or 2 favorite books
