Hi, I ‘m Carrie and ex flight attendant and parent of two, who have flown since they were 11 weeks old long and short haul, and all those toddler flights and beyond! We’ve experienced plenty of flights with babies, toddlers, younger children even 24 hours flights to Australia! We have plenty of brilliant suggestions ranging from easy compact toys like puzzles that feed their imagination, toys you can put together from cheap household items,to tried and tested baby and toddler travel toys to buy – which keep boredom at bay whilst on the go! I’ve frequently been asked, ‘How to keep a 1 year old busy on a plane?’ and “What toddler airplane activities do you recommend?” Unlike babies, toddlers, need a little more entertaining! Good ideas for travel toys for toddlers on airplanesinclude toys which are quiet, practical, hands on and mess free! Travelling with a toddler on a plane or with an older baby who may need some entertaining on the go? Below, you will find my tried and testedtravel toys for childrenon flights and car journeys. Quiet: A quiet toy will make you popular with any neighbors. This includes headsets for any tablets. The rest of the plane maybe trying to sleep and do not hear Peppa Pig on repeat!

Another neat thing about this toy is the little box at the bottom that can be filled with a little string to make it into a fun pull toy. That is, if you can find the right string. Of course, this is not an exhaustive list, but it is a good place to start. Mess free: Please leave the Playdoh at home! Crew or cleaners need to spend longer getting it out of small crevices or removing ingrained bits from the carpet – which means delays to boarding for next flights. It’s no fun removing from the car either.

Can be used independently: If you constantly need to be interacting or operating the toy, you are going to end up frazzled and exhausted. A toy which allows you a few minutes to enjoy your inflight meal or gives you time to fill out paperwork is best for everyone. Have I missed any top travel toysthat have worked for you?
