A 2-year old's Traveling Essentials


A few days before Syawal this year, hubby bought a luggage for our 2 year old toddler.



Yes, she has her own luggage now and all her stuff are packed in it. 




It fits the cabin in the flight perfectly. 

Instead of her having to pull the luggage on her own, she ends up sitting on it whilst we drag her all over the airport.

We prepared TONS of things for our little toddler in preparation of the journey ... come to think of it, she has more stuff than us! 

Since our flight back to hubby's hometown in Sabah was at 1300 hours, we made sure our toddler had her breakfast at home ie bagel and formula milk.

Her trusted water bottle (which she keeps in her backpack)
1 container of cooked pasta mixed with a pinch of salt and 1 tbsp of butter
4 pieces of nuggets
1 container of snacks

Wallet with her MyKid included
3 diapers
1 pack of baby wipes

1 bottle of formula milk
Diaper rash cream
A spare change of clothes for our toddler
Baby powder

* Notice how her stuff conquers most of the space in my bag???? :)


iPad

Series: 
Diego
My Little Pony
Bubble Guppies

Games / Apps:
Endless ABC
BeBop Blox
My Story World
ABC Aquarium
Wee Alphas


Yes, the apps / series downloaded by hubby on her iPad kept her occupied throughout the 2.5 hours flight considering that she took breaks for her lunch and also took a nap (I breastfed her in the flight).

We are extremely blessed to have her traveling with us with no issues. 



She was even excited to see the airplane! 




Since we took AirAsia and we had to walk towards the plane, she got all excited and kept repeating "Airplane! Airplane!"

When the plane was about to take off, she would go "Weeeeee! Yee haa!"

On occasions when we were about to touchdown, she was already sleeping comfortably whilst breastfeeding. 



Since I wore a hijab, I managed to cover her entirely. 




We took the hotseat so we paid slightly more but it was worth it as we needed the additional legroom.

It took us back to the first time when we travelled with her to Sabah and she was less than a year old. 



Each time we took off, I ensured that her ears are covered and get her to take sips of water or I would breastfeed her so that she doesn't feel the pressure in her ears. 




I guess the early exposure to flying makes it easier for us now to bring her on flights, Alhamdulillah.
