I don't have a toddler, not even married yet, but I still love watching your baby videos! It's like you're my older sister passing on tips in tricks for the future. Hope you had a lovely holiday :)
When River gets a little older and wants to draw. DON’T take wax crayons. When it gets hot the wax will melt and make a mess. Colored pencils work better for traveling.
When you said take a few toys away from the child before you travel remind me what my mum used to do as I was growing up. I only had about a third of my toys available to me in my room at all times. All the other ones were stored away in boxes and every few months it was time to swap them around. I was so excited when swapping time arrived as if my parents bought me a whole bunch of new toys! I would totally recommend this to parents to avoid kids getting bored of toys :)
Check out wet bags on Amazon. We keep them in the diaper bag and put swimsuits, wet clothes, poopy clothes, etc. They never leak and you just chuck them in the wash and they are good as new.
So delighted that you've had so much use out of our Dewdrop Muslin Blanket and couldn't agree more - you can use them in all sorts of ways from the baby stage through the toddler years and beyond - my 6yr old has been sleeping under hers in this crazy hot weather!
Thank you for posting something other than new in or haul 😊 I love you, been here from laptop filming but not for the make up or just buying stuff but for life, personality, decor, country living...
The ending of this video made me laugh. Oh, Fluer! I do not have a toddler, I do not plan on having a toddler, but I watched this for the sheer joy of watching and supporting you. You are like an old friend on the internet, as odd as that sounds. Bless you and your adorable family
One thing that worked for us and traveling with our toddler was to buy little toys, books, etc. that he had never seen before. Doesn’t have to be expensive...just something new... we would save them for the plane or long car ride...he loved it!😉Your videos are a pleasure to watch! Thank you!
Just as one point that I wasn't sure you mentioned. If you are taking your own car seat check the laws in the place you are going, particularly around what age children are allowed to forward-face in a car. A lot of places are now changing laws so that children have to be at least 2 years old to forward-face, and in some scandi countries it's rear-facing until 4 :)
@@destiny13006 no. There are car seat with extended parts. Toddlers dont keep their legs straight as often as you might think. I prefer the rear facing high ages. Its safer for the baby.
@@destiny13006 they tend to cross their legs or have them sort of bent up. They are still well supported by the seat so it isn't uncomfortable and they can move their legs so they're not stuck in one position. Extended rear-facing is considerably safer for children (for everyone technically but cars aren't designed this way lol) which is why the laws are changing to reflect this :) you can actually rear face longer than 4 but it depends on the seat and the height of your child. If you are going on holiday to somewhere with extended rear-facing laws then hiring a car seat is probably easier as they are v expensive to buy usually.
A very good Point. We bought a 360° reboarder Car Seat from Cybex. I can turn my 11 month old daughter front or rear faceing in a matter of seconds onehandedly. But I plan to do rear-facing at least until she is 2 or even longer. It is just saver to do.
With regards to the disposable swim nappies if they've not been pooped in you can just dry them out in the sun and get more use out of them - just something to bear in mind if you don't use the reusable ones :)
I don't even have kids but these videos are still fascinating to watch. I've never babysat or been really involved with kids in my life so seeing things from this perspective as an adult is really interesting.
Large swaddle blankets are the best, diy sheet if needed, they make good towels if you every forget one and put the under high chairs in restaurants to catch everything then just shake in bin. Mine have been well used and my lo is 27 months. Tegu is amazing, another good travel one is the water wow books from Melissa and doug
Really love these videos with River as it makes me want to document my little boys life. He's 19 months old and I love capturing photos and short video clips
Really useful video! For my toddler I use the Green People suncream, it’s safe for aquatic life, recyclable packaging etc and great for eczema prone skin!
Baby Zen is the besssssst! We love ours! It’s our only stroller (never bothered with a big stroller) so it saved cost since we bought just one. We had no issues connecting our car seat to it when he was little and it is perfect for travel. Plus is easier to get in and out of the car when we are on the go around town.
Also, you CAN WASH swim nappies (yes the “disposable” ones! If you wring them out and just rinse them, as long as no poop they’ll dry fine and you can re use if you want that level of security. ☺️
Fleur! Have you heard of Solar Buddies? It’s a sun screen applicator - turn any sun cream into a roll on!! It was featured on Dragons Den a couple of years ago. Just a thought if River gets on better with a roll on.
We do long haul flight twice a year to see my family. From Alabama, USA to Perth Western Australia. I highly recommend play dough with a toddler. She played with them for HOURS. I loved all your travel item especially the stroller/ pram and car seat. I keep on going back and forth on whether to buy one or not
I had all seperate travel prams and other gears for my 2 kids as well as we travelled a lot. You can use them for your future kids. Happy Birthday, can’t wait for what I got for my birthday video😘
This might be controversial but something funny but effective that my parents did when they traveled with me as a toddler, they would wrap toys for me. Some new but also older ones that they had taken away earlier (like Fleur said). Basically, it gave me something else to do and I thought it was the best thing
Thank you for your video . I understand how difficult it can be sometimes 😅 I’ve traveled with my toddler on my own since she was 1 and a half . How she is two and a half. I love urban kanga! We have one too and we used it while in Spain and as a spare at home! 😍
Great travel tips. Just FYI, checking a car seat voids it’s warranty and leaves it vulnerable to damage that you can’t see, but that will cause it to malfunction. The best and safest thing to do is buy baby a seat and install their car seat on the plane
dina sklovskaya I totally agree. We had a thing that would attach to the seat, had wheels and a handle (like a roller bag), that they could actually ride through the airport in the car seat. It was life changing for travel, and much safer to have the seat you trust for all legs of travel.
I always bring my gb pockit with me when i travel with my kid. It’s so small and lightweight. It’s ok to filled water in the bottles beforehand when you go to airport. As long as it’s only in the baby bottles. I did that everytime because when I travel I always extra careful with what my baby eat or drink. I may sound funny but I always travel with bottles of water for my baby and diapers (my baby tend to get diaper rash from most brands).
Awesome vid! How many buggies do you have now? I just bought our third one. I never never thought I'd own more than 1. But each buggy has a use for different occasions. Would love to see a vid on the buggies you have 😊
Loved this! I travel with my toddler and baby boys often and I really recommend the Cosco Scenera travel car seat and do be careful we did once have our car seat bag checked it’s usually where we hide diapers and the airline wouldn’t allow it!
I don't have babies, and now cannnot have babies, but I'm still watching and loving this because I've followed you (and Mike) for years and love your videos no matter what. I just play pretend. :)
For organizing I recommend packing in wetbags in your backpack. Have one for snacks, one for changing clothes, one for toys and one for diaper stuff. And if the wet bags have different motives or colour it saves you time when finding stuff.. en when on å plane you can take out the bag with snacks and toys and put the rest away on the top shelf.. Also is babywearing I usely use babywrap instead og babycarrier on trip. Cause then I can use the wrap as armrest or blanket om the flight. Og as a blanket under baby on the airport. 😊
Delta clutch and Gb pockit or pockit + also fold small enough to take in the plane and cost a lot less but still too expensive for an umbrella stroller, still totally worth it if you travel a lot or use public transportation
Melissa & Doug makes colouring books that use water in a little brush pen on reusable pages, my 2-year-old loves it & cant make a mess they're great for car rides
Love your baby/toddler videos as I have a baby two months younger than River. We are doing a long haul flight with our toddler in two days & I find she loves photos of family and friends so I’ve printed A2 size pics and got them laminated, put a hole in the corner and attached them to a key ring holder (pepper pig). I’ve also made a photo book for her. Hoping these keep her busy for a while! We have the Yoyo and recently brought the cosco scenera next as you can ‘hack’ it on to the Yoyo and it’s compatible with some airlines when you do need to start buying your toddler a seat.
Great tips Fleur i recently travelled to south America and flew six times while there, with my toddler. You don't need an I Pad really i took mine just incase but didn't use it at all. You can now go through security with water
I remember my auntie had this foldable tray like thing that she would slip into her handbag and would use it for my cousin's toys when they were travelling. She would put all the little toys in it so my cousin didn't lose them on the floor whilst he was playing. Have no clue where she got it from though and he's just turned 19 so it was a long time ago but I will definitely look for something like that when I have kids haha
Traveling with a child is alot of hassle and stress especially long flights. Is like 14 hrs for us when we go back home for the holidays to Hong Kong. We usually go every 2 or 3 years since is so stressful and time difference too. First time my child was 10 months which wasn’t too bad as could sleep in the basket they have hook at your seat. I use powder formula and kept hot water in a thermal flask since they have hot water on the plane. And just make it up an hour early before there feed usually 3 bottles max bring extra baby bottles. Also just change there nappy in the bathroom. I just use a baby carrier mostly strap onto me since there small didn’t need a pram until i got there and didn’t use it much. When there older definitely need more entertainment toys and lots of snacks. And they usually watch cartoons on the plane thats provided usually one way trip when we come back is usually midnight flight so they sleep after a meal on the plane mostly. The ride on luggage bed case you should invest one is good they can use around at airport and on the plane transfer to bed that extra leg room they need for a good sleep.
My two are now 14 and 12 but I still enjoyed watching...is that weird 😂 Although super organised I wasn’t brave enough or financially able to take mine abroad until the youngest was 7, made life a lot easier and as they don’t really remember holidays when younger I didn’t feel they missed out. Nowadays as long as there is wifi they’re happy!
when did you start putting sunscreen on river? and what kind did you use then or do you recommend? i heard not until 6 months and my lo is almost 6 months and she doesn’t go in the sun very often but it’s been hot and would be nice to let her cool off in some water, i’m worried about sunscreen causing a rash though so i was just curious
You can do a patch test if you're worried. Basically apply the sunscreen to a small area of Baby's skin. If there is a reaction then it is a small area.
My fav kid spf atm is the Garnier Ambre Solaire Kids Sensitive Anti-Sand Sun Cream Spray SPF50+ (phew mouthfull lol). It basicly dissapears to nothing, no stickyness whatsoever .. Caught myself using it over my usual spf cream xD
instead of buying new toys every time try to store some away (if she has a lot of them) and then change them every now and then. they'll be 'new' to her. my mum is a kindergarten teacher and uses this trick so the kids don't get bored.
If you pack other stuff with your buggy or carseat on the flight you will loose the insurance part of that lugage, I have heard. But great tips. 😊 I have travelled a lot by myself with my boy soon 3 years. And I can really recommend babycarrier or å wrap. Gives you two arms to the lugage 😁
I have a toddler and hate travelig with her lol. Poor baby. It's beacause I'm too anxious and she doesn't sleep well. I'm afraid of sick so when we travel by car I always free the surface in front of her seat and put a big towel down. I've seen toddlers puke all over the (open) bags two times too often. I always travel with 3liter ziplock bags and extra paper towels for the same reason. I have never taken the plane with her (we'll do that when she's older) but I've been on a 5 hours train/bus ride. Naps where impossible, baby was mad.
A more affordable option for the travel buggy has to be the mothercare joie travi. I couldn't justify spending out for the babyzen yoyo but the travi is brilliant, one handed folds down to a cabin sized bag with a strap. I travelled to Portugal solo with my 14month old last month and it was a god send!
If you ever travel in the states, I highly recommend BabyQuip.com for renting baby equipment. We had 10 hr flight to Hawaii and it was so nice. We rented her a highchair, a baby monitor, crib, and white noise machine and it was all set up at our house rental when we landed. Worth every penny to not have to haul it all and set it up after 10 hours on a plane
These magnetic blocks are SOOO cool. Definitely will gift them to my niece on Christmas. It’s genius. Buildings will not fall down and kids will not get so frustrated. Thanks for showing them
Just to put it out there isofix seats aren’t considered safer than seat belted seats and also it’s really advised against forward facing 18 month olds 😩😩
Make sure you have sunglasses for your child. Research shows that adults wear sunglasses, but don't put them on their children. Children's eyes are vulnerable to sun. Don't forget the sunglasses!
My little girl gets travel sick and threw up on me about 3 times in one 4 hour trip. I just wish I had some spare clothes for me haha she was all good. And plastic vomit bags.
Twenty five years ago when we were traveling around California (live in the Sacramento Valley}. Toys were the thing. The littles loved them. Good call. Truth....damn I wish we had tablets. LOLOL Hugs.
I'm glad you're so environmentally conscious! Also, I'm glad to find out that my toddler isn't the only one who peels the sticker, sticks it on a page, then immediately takes the sticker out again.... 🤣
Minuskica I’ve travelled with a baby and had no extra hand luggage or hold luggage (except push chair) until my child turned 2 and had their own seat. I think that if she is paying to add on extra luggage than the normal amount it should be stated so other families do not turn up to the air port and get a shock when they are charged for extra
If you have status on an airline they don’t usually charge you for extra bags - I know executive platinum on American let you take what you want within reason even if you have a coach ticket.
Any child under 2 should be in an airline approved carseat on a plane. It is much safer. Most accidents happen upon landing and take off and a child in your lap is a projectile. Always use a rear facing carseat when in a car too, it is proven safer and a no brainer. In a lot of places it is illegal to forward face before 2.

Magic water painting (no mess, just water!) and the no mess colouring books by crayola are a GOD SEND too for when River gets about a year older.
For organizing I recommend packing in wetbags in your backpack. Have one for snacks, one for changing clothes, one for toys and one for diaper stuff. And if the wet bags have different motives or colour it saves you time when finding stuff.. en when on å plane you can take out the bag with snacks and toys and put the rest away on the top shelf..

We have the GB pockit and it's super nice and folds smaller than the one she showed! I love it.
@@mcmelre yep but the one she showed is actual full size stroller with better wheels and stronger body 😆
Melissa & Doug makes colouring books that use water in a little brush pen on reusable pages, my 2-year-old loves it & cant make a mess they're great for car rides
Love your baby/toddler videos as I have a baby two months younger than River.

This is such a helpful video thank you so much. Would love a bit more baby contents like this is really great. Thank you xx
Have a look on BabiPur for more toys like the tegu and eco friendly bits for travel! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thought this was a vlog 😣

Just wondered your thoughts on booking an extra seat for River when you fly and using the car seat for that vs having her on your lap? x
I don't have children or a uterus, but I'm still watching...lol! Love your videos regardless of the topic!
I feel like i blinked and missed rivers babyhood.... how is she already 18 months??!
Traveling with a child is alot of hassle and stress especially long flights. Is like 14 hrs for us when we go back home for the holidays to Hong Kong.

So did I x
we use trukid stick spf, it works well and reef friendly too💗

when you cover your buggy in hot weather with blanket.. it is like creating sauna!! they have temperature like in a hot car when you leave it in sun!

Joie pact pushchair is similar to the baby zen, folds up really small and a lot cheaper 😊
instead of buying new toys every time try to store some away (if she has a lot of them) and then change them every now and then. they'll be 'new' to her. my mum is a kindergarten teacher and uses this trick so the kids don't get bored.
Did you make a little vlog about Portugal with little River ? Would love that !
Also, those wrap headphones are fab!
Can you do a updated skincare... love your videos
Wait until she actually poos in the swim nappy and the job you have to clean it. I remember it well😂
awww she’s got so big! ♥️
You can take any buggy up to the steps? They put out in the hold for you and get it out for as soon a you're out.
There are lots of good recommandations
Really helpful thanks Fleur x
The kanga car seat goes in the belly of plane or you can take with you?
If you pack other stuff with your buggy or carseat on the flight you will loose the insurance part of that lugage, I have heard.
But great tips. 😊
I have travelled a lot by myself with my boy soon 3 years. And I can really recommend babycarrier or å wrap. Gives you two arms to the lugage 😁
Been gone awhile we missed you!
I’m traveling with my son this October, this really helped ❤️
me too !

What about you? How do you prepare , I love to know what are your favourites that you take in Every trip😃🙏🏼

Great video 👌 Thanks!!!
A more affordable option for the travel buggy has to be the mothercare joie travi. I couldn't justify spending out for the babyzen yoyo but the travi is brilliant, one handed folds down to a cabin sized bag with a strap. I travelled to Portugal solo with my 14month old last month and it was a god send!
If you ever travel in the states, I highly recommend BabyQuip.com for renting baby equipment. We had 10 hr flight to Hawaii and it was so nice. We rented her a highchair, a baby monitor, crib, and white noise machine and it was all set up at our house rental when we landed. Worth every penny to not have to haul it all and set it up after 10 hours on a plane
Eeeek, a forward-facing car seat for an 18 month old?! That would make me so so so nervous.
These magnetic blocks are SOOO cool. Definitely will gift them to my niece on Christmas. It’s genius. Buildings will not fall down and kids will not get so frustrated. Thanks for showing them
I am going on a cruise with my 8 month old daughter in September! 🤣🤦🏻♀️👍🏻
LOVE this video! I’m taking my 17 month old to NZ in Feb from the US - am I crazy? Haha
The link for the car window shade doesn't work :(
Just to put it out there isofix seats aren’t considered safer than seat belted seats and also it’s really advised against forward facing 18 month olds 😩😩
Why not just buy cows milk in Portugal and keep in fridge? Is that milk not the same?
Great tips! My little one is on the way, but I will remember these for the future.
Make sure you have sunglasses for your child. Research shows that adults wear sunglasses, but don't put them on their children. Children's eyes are vulnerable to sun. Don't forget the sunglasses!
oh it's not that parents "forget" - it's just near impossible to make a toddler keep them on. Any parents know what i mean.
My little girl gets travel sick and threw up on me about 3 times in one 4 hour trip. I just wish I had some spare clothes for me haha she was all good. And plastic vomit bags.
Have you been watching too much love island? “100%” 🤪
love this video 🥰
Hahaha I knew river wasn’t wearing a bottom in the second picture you posted on Instagram. It was so cute.
Green people suncream or boots 8 hour soltan x
Twenty five years ago when we were traveling around California (live in the Sacramento Valley}. Toys were the thing. The littles loved them. Good call. Truth....damn I wish we had tablets. LOLOL Hugs.
The jo jo ones they do as swim suits
I'm glad you're so environmentally conscious! Also, I'm glad to find out that my toddler isn't the only one who peels the sticker, sticks it on a page, then immediately takes the sticker out again.... 🤣
Hey Fleur
Wait, I thought you put those nappies on top of a regular nappie to keep it from getting wet? Was I wrong?
I thought so too, maybe it's different in Europe, I live in the states.
Never, ever use a normal nappy in water! A swim diaper is a nappy, it let's pee out, keeps poo in.
No the regular diaper would still get wet. Lol fleur is doing it correctly
Yes you are. Regular diapers just swell instantly. A reusable swim diaper is the most hygenic option.
Did you know, you are allowed to take water through security if you have a baby. We always do that and it’s no issue.
How do you get so many extra baggage items?
Bella Charles when you travel with a baby, you get extra allowence for the luggage
Minuskica I’ve travelled with a baby and had no extra hand luggage or hold luggage (except push chair) until my child turned 2 and had their own seat. I think that if she is paying to add on extra luggage than the normal amount it should be stated so other families do not turn up to the air port and get a shock when they are charged for extra
If you have status on an airline they don’t usually charge you for extra bags - I know executive platinum on American let you take what you want within reason even if you have a coach ticket.
Definitely hard travelling with a toddler. Although try travelling with a toddler and two other kids too.. welcome to my world 😂🙈
Any child under 2 should be in an airline approved carseat on a plane.
It is much safer. Most accidents happen upon landing and take off and a child in your lap is a projectile.
Always use a rear facing carseat when in a car too, it is proven safer and a no brainer.
In a lot of places it is illegal to forward face before 2.
I personally have traveled with toddlers and infants and much prefer holding. They are not as projectile as you think. The foucs pushes them onto you.
@@kelann89 It is safest to use a carseat. Period.
They are strapped to you...
@@purpledragonfly4 safest probably. Realistically a nightmare when having more then one child and small animal with you.
@@surlespasdondine no they are not strapped to you
