16. Flying with Babies

The Motherhood & Money Show

As the world begins to open up again, so does air travel!
Bethany recently returned from her first trip with a baby and shares the good, the bad, and the not-so-helpful. Before they get to the tips for traveling with a baby, Bethany and Marissa read listener letters including a small business inspired by Making Money March, getting on the same page with your spouse about money, and a question about sinking funds.
A few things they touch on in this episode are:

• Sitting at the back of the air plane vs the front
• Buying a seat: Pros and cons to having a car seat on the plane
• Best travel car seats (make sure you are familiar with the airline's car seat policy and that whichever car seat you choose is approved for air travel)
  • Cosco Scenera NEXT Convertible Car Seat
  • Baby Trend Trooper 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat (This is the one Bethany flew with)
• Cheapest Travel strollers (Bethany used this Safety First Mickey Stroller)
• Padded, wheeled cover for plane
• Baby wrap
• Craft compartment tray for snacks
• How to entertain toddlers on the plane
• Baby Headphones
• Super Simple Songs
• Using Pacifier, or feeding on takeoff and landing
• Busy Baby Mat
• Milk Snob cover
