Bring plenty of snacks, plenty of little toys. (like the kind in the local toy store, that can be hand held, and keeps them busy for hours). This is good for the 3 year old and the 4 year old.

Now the two year old. Well, forget keeping him busy. You're going to have to put some scotch or rye in his baby bottle, and knock him out for the trip.

lol only kidding.


I cannot imagine travelling with 3 toddlers. You'll have the other people on the plane helping you out, believe me. There are ALWAYS grandmas on planes who love little ones.

Since they can't go anyplace, and you know they ARE ON THE PLANE, if you see an elderly person with a kid on their lap, just give a glance and if the kid ain't crying, you got 5 minutes of peace.

Just bring snacks, little toys and you can eve try bribery.

If the 3 year old and the 4 year old have good comprehension, before boarding the plane, say to them:

"this is a contest, to see who behaves the best. Whoever wins, gets to pick out ANY toy they want, once we get home."

You'll see two kids want to beat out each other.

Got to challenge them mentally. Won't work with the 2 year old

2 year olds rule everything. I've seen this over and over.

They can wrap anyone around their little finger. They are that adorable.

good luck
