My family recently travelled to Bali, Indonesia. And while I don’t have babies—my kids are eight and 11—flying across the world is no joke no matter how old your children are. We flew one hour from Toronto to Montreal, 13 hours from Montreal to Doha, Qatar, stayed overnight in an airport hotel in Doha and then flew 10 hours to Bali.

I was worried about my kids fighting, getting motion sick or panicking about being stuck on a plane, but both trips went smoothly—and while I’ll give some credit to my kids for being good travellers, and a bunch of credit to our tablets for keeping them busy, smart packing is what really saved us.While every member of your family is usually allowed one carry-on and one personal item, letting each kid bring their own bag is not worth the stress.

We also brought headphones for everyone. You’ll get a set of headphones on the plane for use with their entertainment system but you’ll want your own for tablets or phones. No one—including you—wants to hear the sound effects from your kid’s favourite video game for hours on end.Keep up with your baby's development, get the latest parenting content and receive special offers from our partners
