15 Must-Haves for Traveling With Toddlers



When traveling with your most precious cargo, you can never be too prepared. Taking your tot into the friendly skies can be a stressful experience depending on your child's temperament and destination of your flight. Getting ‘there’ can be half the fun or half the battle. It all comes down to how prepared you are. Either way, I've compiled a list of my top 15 don't-leave-home-without travel items. These 15 products are guaranteed to help you and your toddler travel more comfortably. Most importantly you'll be keeping your child safe & entertained!


Set your child up for success! Allow them to sit in the window seat & as your flight progresses, explain what is happening and where you are in your flight. Don't expect perfection, talk to your child about what they can look forward to. Explain the importance of following instructions and discuss airline rules & etiquette, before, during & after your flight. Manners are a life lesson & should be apart of your toddlers daily routine. Throw in a couple of fun toys & books for redirecting behavior and interact with your child to ensure close parental attention. Remember to stay calm! If you are relaxed there is a better chance your tot will follow suit.


Happy traveling!

Marabou Design + Pregnancy Magazine




Run don't walk to your nearest news stand to purchase Pregnancy Magazine's May 2010 issue! Marabou has taken over the Must Haves! I had a blast selecting the items featured for the Updated Heirlooms article. Research was a breeze! I only traveled upstairs to my daughter's room, made a list of treasures & spent the rest of the afternoon reminiscing. As our daughter's 3rd birthday fastly approaches, I say goodbye to her first years & accept her new title "Toddler", I look over the little lovelies that have documented her young life, take a deep breath & smile.

To purchase the personalized stationery "Bear Grass" featured, log on to Minted.com! http://www.minted.com/customizer/sku/MIN-ASZ-PST
