Travelling solo with the two kids to States next week.

Eeeeek.

We have the bulkheads so have some room, phew.

9.30hr to fill. Some/most sleeping hopefully.


We're pretty used to travelling on train around the UK on long trips but slightly different!


Any tips for little entertaining games/toys/treats would be warmly welcomed.

And any general long-haul with kids tips too.


thank you!

It will be fine. Your 5yo can watch/read/play games on a tablet or the on board system. 16 mo will probably need to get up and walk about a bit, but unless you have turbulance and seatbelts on all the way that should be fine.


The best advice we were given was to wrap up a number of small gifts (poundland toys etc) and given them out every couple of hours or so. Also, limiting sugar intake helps too.

      Do star projectors work for babies?

      By alex_b · Posted

      We had one that projected stars and played lullabies. It was a soft toy bee with a hard plastic back. I know we used it but can’t recall how effective it was.  What was brilliant was the Lulla sleep doll which has a heart beat sound. That was a critical sleep aid for the first couple of years.

      Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.
