Inevitably, she refuses to carry it the minute we get to the airport and also wants to be carried herself. 😠 I'm looking forward to when she'll actually be responsible for her own backpack or little rolling suitcase! anonysquire on "Does your child carry anything onto the plane?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-child-carry-anything-onto-the-plane#post-2656275 Wed, 23 Nov 2016 00:51:13 +0000 anonysquire 2656275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I also put them in matching pajamas so they are comfy and I can keep track of them easier. Not that black was the best choice...

With diapers, change of clothes, fruit pouch, goldfish, coloring books, Crayons, small toys, dum dums and their iPads.

Our home airport is very busy, major international airport - frequently with long distances to the gate. If we flew out of a smaller airport, I would consider having our oldest wheel a suitcase to the gate. Since we travel with car seats, we check our suitcases and car seats, and only bring on under the seat carry ons. dolphin on "Does your child carry anything onto the plane?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-child-carry-anything-onto-the-plane#post-2656250 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 22:49:40 +0000 dolphin 2656250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DD is almost 4 and has never carried anything herself but we're going on a long flight Thanksgiving and I'm thinking of letting her carry a small backpack with wheels.

The last time we flew she carried that on and was fine. She had a backpack for her toys, headphones, Ipad mini, and snacks. And her clothes and shoes were in her suitcase. She only needed us to put it in the overhead bin.

We let her pack her headphones, snacks, crayons etc and bring it on the plane. She's really very good about being fully responsible for it. 808love on "Does your child carry anything onto the plane?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-child-carry-anything-onto-the-plane#post-2656166 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 19:51:58 +0000 808love 2656166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ She has a Disney princess rolling luggage that turns into a mini backpack. It is the cutest smallest little thing. It was good for ages 3-nearly 6 for my shortie. mrsbookworm on "Does your child carry anything onto the plane?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-child-carry-anything-onto-the-plane#post-2656149 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 19:19:10 +0000 mrsbookworm 2656149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We just returned from a trip that involved a long flight. I let my 3 year old pack a small backpack with toys. His clothes, however, went in my suitcase. My 2 year olds toys were in my carry on. It worked out well. looch on "Does your child carry anything onto the plane?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-child-carry-anything-onto-the-plane#post-2655867 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 12:11:04 +0000 looch 2655867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My son has a rolling suitcase that he uses as his carryon luggage. It contains his toys, mostly. He's really good about packing it, and he likes to roll it through the airport. His actual clothes get packed into my own checked suitcase and I carry a backpack so if need be, I can roll his carryon. I basically carry the opposite of what he carries, so I am not stuck with 2 backpacks or two roller cases. All in, we bring a carry on each and at least one checked bag (for all three of us). Not your question, lol, but I think the total number is important. lamariniere on "Does your child carry anything onto the plane?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-child-carry-anything-onto-the-plane#post-2655865 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 12:10:06 +0000 lamariniere 2655865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My son sometimes takes a backpack, especially for long flights. I'm not letting my kids take a carry on suitcase until they are old enough to be fully responsible for it.

He's a little over two. It will have his necessities (snacks, toys, lovey, etc). I got the backpack so that if he doesn't want to pull it anymore or when we're boarding I can just put it on my back and it's not a big deal. But I also don't really carry much on for myself - just a tote/purse with iPad, wallet, etc. Adira on "Does your child carry anything onto the plane?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-child-carry-anything-onto-the-plane#post-2655860 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 12:08:55 +0000 Adira 2655860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We haven't done any traveling yet, but we're taking a trip next year and so I'm getting the boys backpacks for it. That way they can carry some toys and other needed items onto the plane themselves. yoursilverlining on "Does your child carry anything onto the plane?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-child-carry-anything-onto-the-plane#post-2655857 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 12:05:41 +0000 yoursilverlining 2655857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ She has a little suitcase but I dislike bringing it on the plane because most of the time I end up having to carry it along with my own carry-on, wrangle LO, etc. LO and I share a suitcase whenever we travel so there also just isn’t any need for her to bring her own suitcase. Soooo...most of the time I nix the suitcase. She has a Skip Hop zoo kid’s backpack that she carries onto the plane. She also usually brings a “friend” (doll or small stuffie). mediagirl on "Does your child carry anything onto the plane?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-child-carry-anything-onto-the-plane#post-2655852 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 12:02:15 +0000 mediagirl 2655852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ When you travel, does your child carry anything? My daughter really wants to bring her suitcase with her but I don't want her dragging it through the airport and I don't want it banged around in luggage, either. Does your child use a backpack or something when traveling? Or do they drag their own suitcase through the airport?
