I think pants are easier for diaper changes because you can just pull them partially down and don't have to deal with snaps and such. I prefer to change LO in my lap if we have to do it on the plane...less gross to me than the bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-for-plane-travel#post-411687 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 15:02:35 +0000 SugarplumsMom 411687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: that jumper is super cute! Why didn't I see it earlier :( I vote for cotton, I think the fleece is too warm to layer with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-for-plane-travel#post-407516 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 10:56:14 +0000 Weagle 407516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put LO in snapped footies. Or any kind of footed one-piece that can be opened from the bottom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-for-plane-travel#post-407400 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 10:15:34 +0000 loveisstrange 407400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crumbs: @lemondrop: I was thinking a one-piece jumpsuit/romper. We have this cotton one: <a href="http://www.carters.com/null/Cotton-Layered-Look-Jumpsuit/714442769110,default,pd.html?cgid=carters-baby-girl-one-pieces" rel="nofollow">http://www.carters.com/null/Cotton-Layered-Look-Jumpsuit/714442769110,default,pd.html?cgid=carters-baby-girl-one-pieces</a><br /> and both hooded and non-hooded fleece ones. Do you think the fleece or the cotton would be better? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-for-plane-travel#post-407312 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 09:44:48 +0000 lemondrop 407312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always have gone with the snapped jammies. My reasoning is warmth and it makes him look cuter to grumpy travelers. </p> <p>I was able to lay him on my husband's lap and do a quick pee diaper change. We won the lottery and didn't have a poop diaper on any of our flights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-for-plane-travel#post-407310 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 09:44:05 +0000 SugarplumsMom 407310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a velour one-piece (on sale) for our international flight. I figure it's warm and more breathable than microfiber. I'll layer it with a sweater in case it's really cold. But it seems pretty thick and comfy enough.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gap.eu/browse/product.do?cid=60872&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=000175728000" rel="nofollow">http://www.gap.eu/browse/product.do?cid=60872&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=000175728000</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-for-plane-travel#post-407284 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 09:11:55 +0000 loveisstrange 407284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: Haha, yeah, it's from London to St. Louis so it does take a while. International flights suck. The last time I flew home, my flight from Heathrow was less than half full so I'm hoping.</p> <p>As for gate-checking, that's what I plan to do if I can't get an extra seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-for-plane-travel#post-407272 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 09:02:17 +0000 MamaBehr 407272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zipplef can't you use her carseat in the stroller and then gate check it? That is what i have always done. I have never been lucky enough to be on a flight with an extra seat.... but at least the carseat was right there. </p> <p>And, maybe it is because when I'm nervous I sweat, I have always been quite warm on planes with a baby. I would also recommend a blanket (when I was nursing I just used my nursing cover) which is easy to take off and put on (and cover her head when she's alseep)</p> <p>That's a long flight! But I bet she is going to be amazing on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-for-plane-travel#post-407236 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 08:20:21 +0000 loveisstrange 407236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: She's booked as a lap infant but we're on the reserved list for a bassinet seat. I'm hoping for an extra seat so I can just take her carseat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-for-plane-travel#post-407229 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 08:12:28 +0000 MamaBehr 407229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always put my kiddos in pj's that are separates to allow for ease of changing and comfort. Then I bring a sweater or hoodie. Is your LO sitting in your lap? Because that actually gets really warm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-for-plane-travel#post-407224 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 08:01:52 +0000 loveisstrange 407224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you dress your LO for plane travel to make for easy diaper changing? I always get cold on planes, so I want her to be warm enough, but I don't want to dress her in a bunch of layers and make it a nightmare to change her diaper. We have a 8.5 hour flight followed by a 3.5 hour layover and then another 2.5 hour flight. I need her to be comfy. </p>
