Not so many that I can remember to get frequent flyer accounts for the kids, but enough that I know that the right packing strategy can make all the difference.

If your child is beyond the poo’splosion age, expect a bottle to burst, projectile vomit, overturned apple juice, or a simple pee accident. To combat this reality, pack [...]

Tips for traveling with a baby

December 15, 2010

We’ve said it before: traveling just ain’t what it used to be. When you bring a baby on an airplane, you would be lucky to get through even a single magazine article let alone a book. So when you walk by that airport bookstore with your sights set on People or US Weekly, just keep [...]
