Our stroller is huge and comfy - but it still weights very little.  The people putting it out for us as we board and deplane have often referred to it as the Cadillac stroller.  We LOVE it!  It helps us hold stuff, Morgan loves is and is comfy, and folds up easily and nicely as well.  I actually prefer it to the umbrella strollers and would never go without it.  To top off the wonderful features, it's actually made to be a jogging stroller (I don't jog), but it handles all types of terrain, corners, curbs like a dream!  Every one of our friends who I have let push it have immediately ordered one - it's that good!  It's the best money we've spent on kid stuff since birth!

Okay everyone - I hope you can find it, and I am sorry I forgot to do this earlier, but I am going to move this topic to the appropriate section.

If you have any questions about why I moved it, just ask!

The ear tubes will NOT be a problem at all (although this is late for you, but just fyi). Our son has them and we've been on tons of flights since he was an infant...he does better since he's had them than before he had them. You DO NOT need to worry about him sipping something while taking off/landing b/c the tubes keep the ears open.

Well, we are flying again in May, this time to CA.  Since I asked for advice before our last flight, I thought I'd give an update.  Katie did quite well on the flights.  As we were looking out at the clouds, she looked over at me and exclaimed, "Mommy!  I'm flying!  I'm flying!"  She had the biggest grin on her face!  She has been wanting to fly again ever since!

This next trip, we will be in the air much longer, so we are taking lots of books and, hopefully, a DVD player!  I have also scheduled the longest leg of the flights during her regular nap time. Hope she sleeps some!

Thanks for all the good advice everyone!  And I am so glad to hear that the tubes make things even easier!  I won't be so uptight about her sippy cup this trip!

Beth - I am not sure how I missed this post earlier, but if so, I would have also agreed that tubes in the ears do not cause a problem.

I had them in my ears while working for the airlines, and went on several pain free flights!  I no longer have tubes, and once again have pain, so the tubes do help!

I sure hope your daughter sleeps on the flight for that long leg.  A dvd player is really wonderful to have just in case.  Bring some of her favorite videos and such.  You will be fine.  I can't wait to hear about your trip in May!  Where are you going in California?

We are going to San Diego to visit my brother's family.  The point of the trip was to visit before he was deployed for 6 months in October (Navy), but he was deployed in April, with only a month's notice beforehand.  So, we are now going to visit with his family and be of some support to his wife.  They have twins who are 5 months older than Katie ... 3yo ... so Lynn has her hands full, to be sure!

I'm still trying to persuade Larry & Lynn that a day trip to DL is better than not going at all!  I know they are all about doing Legoland, the SD Wild Animal Park, maybe a baseball game, and the beach.  We are only there for 6 days, so I may loose out on this trip.  If so, we are closer to WDW anyway, so I'll request a family trip there for our 10th anniversary next year!

Beth if you need any help convincing everyone to do a day in Disneyland you know where to get it!  I do remember now talking about this with you before, but my brain is getting old and I simply forgot!

In either case, San Diego will be a blast and it is great for you to go spend time with family there!
