We've gotten some but never used them since he rips them off (tiger kid's headphones on Amazon) he is fine with watching my iPod without them, plus I can lock it so it doesn't matter if he pushes the buttons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-1-year-oldheadphones-time-change#post-999326 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 11:36:34 +0000 purrpletulips 999326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought these <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0095XPHQU/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0095XPHQU/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1</a> for DD (3yo) when we went on vacation about a month ago. They were great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-1-year-oldheadphones-time-change#post-999241 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 11:16:14 +0000 travelingnanny 999241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never had nanny LO use head phones. They would have never kept them in anyway. I figured since their attention span was so short the fellow passengers would rather listen (always on low) to 10 mins of a game or show than screaming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-1-year-oldheadphones-time-change#post-998476 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 08:08:37 +0000 looch 998476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't use headphones either, we just let our son watch on the iPad and so far, we have not had an issue.</p> <p>We do a 6 hour flight at least twice a year and we don't do anything to prepare for the time difference. We do have a 4 day adjustment period each way, so if you have some help watching your kid while you can sleep, take it!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-1-year-oldheadphones-time-change#post-998460 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 08:03:40 +0000 HappyBaker 998460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow @MamaBehr, you are brave! Great suggestions, thanks so much. I bet you are right that my DD probably wouldn't care if the sound is off either, she hasn't watched too much TV yet so I didn't even think of that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-1-year-oldheadphones-time-change#post-998454 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 08:00:40 +0000 MamaBehr 998454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have flown with mine a bunch of times and never used headphones. DD never seemed to mind that she couldn't hear what she was watching! She is 3 now and finally started to tolerate headphones. When we fly it is only a one hour time change, so I actually try to keep them on a TX schedule (that's where we live), and not mess with a time change schedule. </p> <p>When I fly in Sept (by myself, with a 19 month old, 3 year old, and 22 weeks pregnant, WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?!) I'm going to bring our iPad with apps, DVD player, and small manipulatives (playdough, coloring books/crayons, stickers/paper and something else that I'm not sure yet hahaha) I don't have a direct flight, we are doing Houston to Chicago, Chicago to Buffalo, NY which is about 4 hours in air as well. Just make sure you are over-prepared! hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-1-year-oldheadphones-time-change#post-998430 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 07:47:15 +0000 HappyBaker 998430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are taking our first flight with our LO in November, when she will be 14 months old. We're flying Boston to Denver non stop, which is about a 4 hour flight. We are still deciding if we should buy her a seat or not. </p> <p>Does anyone have recommendations for headphones a toddler could wear / not hate wearing? We just realized our main distraction is our Kindle and the other passengers probably won't love listening to Daniel Tiger for 4 hours!</p> <p>Also, any tips on how to deal with the time change? It's only 2 hours and we'll only be there 4 or 5 days, so I'm hoping this won't be a big deal. </p>
