Parenting Tips: Air Travel With Babies, Toddlers, and Prayers

Get ready for takeoff: Justin and Victoria discuss all of their tips for traveling on airplanes with babies and toddlers. Should you take the stroller? What about car seats? Can you take the car seat on the plane? When do you need purchase a separate seat for your child? Should you rent a car when you land? How do you entertain children on long flights? Is it WORTH it to travel with small kids? They answer all of those questions--and more--and tell you about their experiences so you can successfully travel, while keeping your sanity.  On the Disney side, they briefly talk about the ten-year anniversary of Cars Land at Disney California Adventure, and how that park influenced the rise in "lands" at theme parks.  Remain seated with your hands, arms, and feet inside the airplane for this one, folks!
