If you are brave enough to travel by plane with your children this summer, CBS's The Early Show recently profiled some products and tips to make your flight a little less crazy.
The program mentioned a vest which attaches to your seatbelt that keeps your baby on your lap and out of the overhead compartment when the plane hits a pocket of turbulence. For those of you who do not feel like dragging a toddler and a car seat through a busy airport, there is a portable restraint system available that only weighs a pound.
One of the many tips the segment provided was to keep your baby's bottle chilled by storing it in an ice-filled air-sickness bag. Here's a bonus tip from me: you can also stash your airplane bottle of vodka there until your kid finally falls asleep.
Unfortunately, the program did not state how to pack a playard, a box of diapers, pool supplies, a ton of beach towels, forty-eight changes of clothes, and all the other crap needed for a vacation with a toddler.
