Omg are you flying solo?

could you do something like this, where he would be in the in his carseat attached to your suitcase & you could push the stroller with any other things you're bringing or wear them in a backpack?

Don't be shy asking for help! I flew solo at 30 some weeks with DS1 and there was a frat reunion on my plane and I got them to carry all my stuff and get my luggage

Good luck!

Baggage claim the car seat and maybe purchase this for the airplane ride. I have one and use it every time we fly. It's pretty easy to put on. Or if you're visiting family maybe see if they can borrow one. Bringing the car seat on the plane is a lot of work (and heavy!), especially when you're travelling alone, pregnant, and with a toddler that young. Otherwise, since it's a short flight just bring some of your LO's favorite smaller toys or books and snacks and you should be good. And don't hesitate to ask people around you for help putting things in the overhead bin or helping you with the stroller when you gate check it. You'd be surprised at how many people will offer to help you. I flew multiple times with my two kids alone half way around the world and people have been really nice. Or they just felt bad for me that I was flying alone with two kids, lots of carry on bags, and a double stroller! Good luck and take it easy.

I would try to put some towels around it and then trash bags.

Which airline are your flying?

@matador84: hmm, you have an assigned seat then, right? I've found it helpful to sit by other families - their kids can entertain yours and the other parents can be sympathetic/helpful. I usually fly Southwest solo with LO and look for someone nice to sit next to during family boarding. I guess that won't work if you have an assigned seat, but maybe you'll luck out.

I did this just over a year ago although I was only 26 weeks or so....Lollipops- bring several...and if you can, call the airline and ask for assistance- they brought a wheelchair; I didn't use it because I could walk but at least the guy carried all my stuff so that was a help!
