We already have a car seat there (or whatever is required, or my MIL borrowed). It's just for the flights cos our most recent flight was very uncomfortable for all of us and I so don't want to be uncomfortable for such a long flight! I so don't want to be cranky and dealing with cranky kiddo for that suuuuuper long time!
PB - i cant remember if Gingerbread man was act 3
btw, car seat is heavy and bulky..you shld def check with airline if they let u bring on board and put on the airline seat. i hv only seen baby car seats, the ones with a handle- being brought on board..that also i wonder where they store it
.
mb what you can do is put a pillow on yr lap and pull up the seat arms and let poppy lie on pillow..a bit uncomfy for you but i think she will sleep better. I cross my bunny ears for a half full flight for you so you get a row of empty seats for each of you

PB,
I think the most important is to get a night time flight - so she can sleep through most of the flight. Also hoping that you get empty seats - maybe can also let the stewardess know that you would like to get an extra empty seat to let Poppy sleep - sometimes they are nice enough to let you know

Cin is right (don't go for bassinet seats cos armrests cannot be lifted..pick the next row and lift all arm seats so poppy can stretch out with u n bb at both ends. That's what we did
Italy was fun! Haven't had time to sort n post pics yet though n someone is still wide awake as I type this!

Thanks girls. I only got the idea cos a friend with 3 girls (two are older than poppy) said she did that on the plane.
Ah on our last flight which was a year ago, we did just that - pulled the seat rests up so poppy could lie with head on my lap and feet on bb's lap. Or the other way round. Wr tried everything. Blankets, pillows, neck pillows. Jackets... It was extremely uncomfortable for all. And that was only a 7 hour flight I think.
She's grown taller over the past year and don't forget, poppy is REALLY tall! Think America's Next Top Model kind, she's all legs legs legs. I scared! Bbp I really hope to get an empty seat next to us!
Yup we got a night flight. But the best (shortest) I think leaves at 1am :S sigh if only we could teleport!
Anyhow, a kind friend is lending us her car seat. Let's check with airline and cross fingers!

PB,
Any empty seat will do. Actually one that's away may be better cos at least one parent gets to rest while the other takes care of the kid. Shift work. So if you get an empty seat somewhere else, either you or bb shift ok?
Good luck!

Pb: what airline are you taking? Different airlines have different regulations about car seats. Any idea what aircraft type will you be taking? I can advise on which seats are more comfy. Also, you can "chup" your seats when you board, not too obvious lah! Then once "door closed" announcement is announced, you can occupy them. Can't leave poppy alone on a three-seater though. That's what the stewardess taught me just in case they are busy and can't come back to me. Just let them know you want extra seats and they can block out the seats for you first.
Gwyn's high back booster can make it? I have extra, can loan.

Morning ladies... haven had time to check out forum... and now i see all the discussion on car seats. hmm makes me worried because i have a 5 hrs flight to perth with the 2 children ... morning flight -_- struggling to think how to entertain both of them for 5 hrs.
a few questions for dumbo me.
1) PB can enlighten me why a booster seat will make it more comfy? xun gal has got super long legs too ...
2) Can bring up maxicosi car seat on board ah??! Then i can still squeeze mei mei into it? But but i only book a bassinet seat for mei mei ... hmmm how does it work? If can bring car seat then i will save on the car seat rental!
Counting down ... flying off in 20 days time! Finally!!
Oh oh anyone can lend me inflatable bath tub?? =D TIA!

A friend did this: brought car seats up the plane for her kids so they could be nice and snug and sleep thru all the turbulance (you notice kids are generally happy and sleep well in car seats?).
But jo advises that diff airlines hv diff regulations so better check with yours
If meimei has bassinet it means that she has a mini foldable "cot" that will be placed on the wall in front of you. I think car seat can only fit on plane seat. So if you can bring, it shd only be for xun girl
Haha hi five fellow mummy of long legged daughter!
Jo
Once I can confirm flight and all I will seek ur expert advice re bestest seats ok?

ah PB ok got it! I will be bringing a booster seat to Perth so maybe can pack that and bring on board for xun gal lo. Will it be useful?
I have nv brought a baby on board before so dunno how it will turn out to be. I cannot imagine having an ultra active kid for 5 hrs not wanting to sleep. But then again, not quite possible because the flight is at 9 and we have to reach airport at around 7 meaning got to leave hse at 6+ -_- = sleepy kids that will hopefully sleeeeeeeep in the plane while i enjoy my meals hahaha ... will tell u all again if it happens like this.
SY, hmm its really small ah? then nvm la. will try and figure out. maybe just make her bath with me hahaha no need the bath tub.
Nowadays my free time is taken up with all the packing that i have to do at home. Coz hubby is only in charge of his study desk (which i helped to clear 70%) and his own belongings. Everything else in the house is my responsibility -_-""
and so i got to pack for moving and pack for perth too. sweat man.

I think it was doggiebb who brought up that aust also has restrictions on which car seats can be used in cars. So you got to check to make sure yours fits airline and aust rules ya?
For me it's just plane cos my MIL has so kindly prepared everything for poppy's arrival liao. As she put it, we just have to bring her panties and socks haha
Re husbands and anything to do with household... Aiyah what's new.
This morn BB started work late to join us for brekkie but did that make him think he could help get poppy ready to go out? Nah. Just made sure his hair was nice.
Men. Sudah la

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA pb..... i m sure BB's hair is VERY nice now with all the time spent preening (and therefore not helping with poppy).
jace, pat. tis ok. what would the man do w/o us? this morning, Mr C asked me (i have been sick since Sun) where one of his papers - to do his homework - was. gee, i wouldnt know, i have been sick, and tis YOUR paper. tis not as if i monitor your homework too. heck, i do not even monitor C1's comm book daily.
oh yes. can bathe mini xun in the sink too. not need inflatable tube la. i did that with C1 before when he was ~9mo. that was MIL's idea. i have a pix of him sitting in the hotel sink with bubbles in his hair.

Best part, after not helping and spending all that time on his hair, still can ask me "is my hair ok?". Hello, I'm still moving around him like a tornado, packing, dressing, washing, clearing, and that's all he can think of? Sometimes I feel like dyeing his hair pink in his sleep
Actually jace. Can also hug mini xun in shower

SY,
For a moment I panicked. I thought "Oh shit, where is my internet banking token?"
Luckily, it was in the place where I thought it was. So I just transferred the payment
Showering:
I cannot remember how we showered Declan when he was 9 months in France leh. Absolutely no recollection.

Bleah, throwing up every other meal.
Sleeping thru night
I think poppy is regressing a little since I've gotten pregnant. She's waking up 2 times a night and coming to our room.
SY
I've changed gynae. Seeing Dr Woo at Tiong Bahru Central! So convenient. And he delivers at Mt A. BB and I love him. He's so mild mannered and patient and never makes us feel like he's rushing us to leave
SD chick
What nutritious food am I supposed to take ah? Forgot liao. I only know I crave junk like fried chicken and bak kua and luncheon meat :S and have absolutely no mood to cook
Er slave BB? I hardly think so. Like my first pregnancy, HE is the one complaining of leg cramps and tiredness more than me.
BUT his hair is very nice. Haha
Batgirl
Yup yup. It feels so great to finally be able to spill it all out!!!
Youpi
Haha you also tahan very long for my sake right?
I feel so guilty though, always not enough energy to play and plan outings with poppy. We haven't been out much cos *i* must have nap time haha
And oh I'll be pretty big when we fly to canada so it's very unlikely poppy will be able to lie on my lap. Thus the whole carseat conversation!

Yah lor, since the visit to the farms trip leh
Can eat almost everything and do almost anything. How was your zoo trip yesterday?
Sigh, we were supposed to go to the zoo today for L's school excursion. Obviously, did not make it there thanks to the mini typhoon this morning. When we went out this afternoon, he carried a penguin with him. Doggiebb, were you going to the zoo as well?

Oi, you are a v able woman, you'll definitely be able to manage no matter what

dd,
Wah, you solid. Dare to let him go through sleep diaperless. Even though Dec goes thru most naps and nights without wetting his diaper, I still religiously put it on for him. I cannot imagine him wetting MY bed.
