We usually try to start with books and toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-more-screentime-when-traveling#post-2489587 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 08:37:29 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2489587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just while we're actually driving- it's the only way she will sit in her car seat for longer than an hour or so. I'm embarrassed of how much tv she watched on our 5 hour trip to Ottawa over Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-more-screentime-when-traveling#post-2489457 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 00:10:55 +0000 gingerbebe 2489457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well considering I just bought a portable DVD player, headset, and 3 DVDs for our plane ride Friday, I'd say so! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-more-screentime-when-traveling#post-2489440 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 23:42:42 +0000 MoonMoon 2489440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, in fact he can only use the iPad when we're traveling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-more-screentime-when-traveling#post-2489390 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 22:44:34 +0000 Grace 2489390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes! She watched TV for the entire 4 hour flight. She also watched tons of Spanish cartoons in Mexico (even though she didn't understand any of it). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-more-screentime-when-traveling#post-2488969 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 15:31:50 +0000 sooz 2488969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, usually just for the flights, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-more-screentime-when-traveling#post-2488499 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 10:39:23 +0000 BlueWolverine 2488499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. We recently did a nine hour car trip and she watched movies most of the way. She's happy. We're happy. It all works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-more-screentime-when-traveling#post-2488437 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 09:42:22 +0000 LulaBee 2488437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. We recently drove 11.5 hours (one way) to FL and she watched movies most of the way. Then we stay with my in-laws who don't have our 5:30 wake time so we let her watch TV until they wake up. It's always hard coming home and getting back into no TV during the week routine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-more-screentime-when-traveling#post-2488431 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 09:39:05 +0000 psw27 2488431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On the airplane, he has free range to watch as much as he wants. On the actual trip, we are usually busy so I would say he actually watches less. Although, sometimes in restaurants we will let him watch something if he is getting fussy waiting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-more-screentime-when-traveling#post-2488423 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 09:31:43 +0000 BKCaribBaby 2488423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we are in transit (on a plane or train), she can have it as as much as she wants. We try not to do that much while in our destination. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-more-screentime-when-traveling#post-2488418 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 09:28:25 +0000 looch 2488418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make a point not to increase screen time on vacation...as a result I usually bring a few games and craft things in our suitcase to occupy him in the hotel room during downtimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-more-screentime-when-traveling#post-2488398 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 09:17:13 +0000 lamariniere 2488398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During the actual act of traveling, yes, they get as much as they want! Anything to keep the peace! At the destination, we are more lax than at home, but still try to limit it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-more-screentime-when-traveling#post-2488397 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 09:15:41 +0000 mediagirl 2488397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If Gram is around and we aren't, she probably does because Gram likes to please her little girl. Otherwise, not really. We are usually busy on vacation and don't have time to let her watch TV. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-more-screentime-when-traveling#post-2488390 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 09:12:06 +0000 mrsjyw 2488390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ds1 watched a few shows on the plane's tv on our2.5 hour flight. And he's watched a show while dh and I have our "slower" mornings on our vacation. He def gets more screentime during vacation! </p>
