Also - why don't all planes have changing tables in the bathrooms? Where are we supposed to change a diaper? I end up doing it on the floor, back by the flight attendants area... where they prepare meals for godsake! In any case, now that I have three kids, I don't fly anywhere. Not b/c it'd be too hard, but just b/c it'd be too expensive. I also like the idea that if things go south in the car (an out of control diaper, someone screaming, about to pee), I can just pull over. We can all get out. There is no illuminated "seatbelt sign" making me sweat. So with you on this.

I always tel my daughter not to do that and not to open and close the dinner the tray. It's just good socialization. If you do that you are bothering someone else. I am talking about when a baby or little kid is in pain because their ear hurts, or scared about take off,etc. If we were in a restaurant I would walk her out, but clearly on a plane it's not an option. And air travel in general has become has pleasant as a bucket of spit. Jennifer, I agree with that one. I always tel my daughter not to do that and not to open and close the dinner the tray.

I can handle crying with headphones, but constantly getting kicked in the back for a long flight is not fun.

"oh, sorry your majesty, perhaps the royal coffers could spring for a Lear jet next time." What a sense of entitlement!! Virginia to Hawaii with 3 toddlers. I think I'd be a shut in.

Being from Virginia and having lived in Hawaii for 3 years travel back and forth with 3 toddler-aged boys was interesting to say the least. It always surprised me how some people reacted to a fidgety child on an airplane. It's not like you can toss 'em out! Thanks for the great vids and good laughs!
