We are flying from WI to Hawaii in February 2013 staying at Disney Aulani ( our first time so if you have any tips that would be great) so it is going to be a long flight!
I know our 3yr old needs his own seat, does he need a car seat?
Does our 1yr old just sit on our lap?
We already will have our double stroller so how do you lug a car seat too?
Any tips on how to survive this long flight with 2 toddlers?
Thank you for all your advice it's going to be a great trip just a little stressed about the travel part.
Answer
Any car seat needs to say FAA approved, many booster seats are not OK. check your seat label for the FAA OK for your seat. You can 'gate check' the seats plane side. FAR BETTER than 'checking in; the seats as baggage (good chance you will never see the seats again!) Be sure to label ON the seat and stroller your info. Plus use the label tags the airlines give you. (and easily falls off, this is why to label ON the stroller and seats). The 1 yr old can go on your lap, the 3 yr old can go in a car seat or airline seat (if he is good with wearing his belt)

If you can gate check seats and stroller you take those with kids in then right to the plane. Call your airline about that double stroller and if it can be gate checked along with two car seats. As for surviving the flight, label toys too. We take three toys per child. This way, we pack our bag when right before the 'descent' and now each kid has three. This is easier to keep track of..

how to make toddlers stop crying in school?
Sabrina
2013 has just began, and so has pre-school, for many little toddlers.
During one lesson observation in the first week of school, many 3-4 year old toddlers were crying, and hugging thier mums leg tightly. Some continued crying long after their parents left, and some would not let go of thier parents.
My question is, how do i encourage these toddlers to let go?
And, how to make them stop crying? ( I tried distracting them with toys/baby biscuits, videos of barbie/lego, assuring them that thier parents will come back very soon. It worked for some, but not others. One would kick, stamp his feet, and scream really loudly when his mum goes more than an arms lenght from him)
Do you know any other ways?
Thank you so much!!

As tough as it might be, when I took my son to daycare, the staff encouraged me not to linger. I stuck to a "bye bye" routine: I would tell him that I was going to school, that he was going to stay here and play with his friends, and that I would come back when I was done (or tell him his dada would pick him up later). I would give him a kiss and tell him I loved him, hand him over to a teacher, wave bye-bye and leave. We talked about this from the time we were getting out of the car to the wave. If there was anything that the teachers and I needed to discuss we would try to keep it brief, and sometimes they would write me notes.
I don't know. From a parents perspective, I appreciated guidance from the teachers on what to do to minimize that drama. My son was definitely a crier until we established a routine.
