even worse. i made like this scary screaming noise lol. later that night, i spoke to my son about it before i went to bed. he was legit shook so i told him it was a bad joke, apologized, and said i wouldn't do that again. i told him i would still play tricks on him but just not that exact one and he was ok with that.Yo stuntman mike , when you played that joke, were you screaming HAAAAAAAAAAAALP?
first long trip was to japan when my son was about 15 months old. 8.5 hours. we got that row of seats facing the bulkhead and you can request a bassinet to be installed during flight. he liked chilling in there but only slept for a little bit. that thing is super small though and made for infants. he was ok though. no crying the whole flight. he's been to cali once and japan 2 more times and has never really had any issues on long flights. he has super limited tablet time at home but on the plane, he can use it as much as he wants and can also snack on whatever too. we've never needed a car seat in japan but traveling with a car seat and stroller can be rough. when we went to cali and some of our outer island trips, we got this thing like a huge bag thing that you can put the car seat in and wear it like a backpack. that comes in handy.whats it like vacationing with young ones under 3 years old?
one other tip that you guys may consider. on two of our trips, my son got sick and was running a fever. just used cold compress in japan because i didn't want to try and decipher the labels and get something safe for kids. we had no thermometer either. at disneyland, we were staying on property and my wife had to walk super far one morning to get a thermometer and tylenol for kids. would be a good idea to pack your thermometer and some tylenol/ibu just in case. in both cases though, my son was good even though he was sick. the excitement of the trip overpowered his fever lol.
