BTDT-flying with 7 month twins-advice needed

Trying to decide if we should bring the double sng. The home we're visitng has a crib, toys, diapers, etc....

I really just need to know the best way to go about navigating the airport...

double stroller and pack the bases? bjorns? buy 2 cheap umbrella strollers? Go before/during naptime?

Any other tips/words of advice?

TIA!

Re: BTDT-flying with 7 month twins-advice needed

I flew when they were a little younger than that.

I did the double snap and go. No bases. It is just as safe to use the seatbelt to secure the carseat in a car. I gate checked the stroller and for one flight I was able to bring the car seats on the plane.

I flew in the early am. I woke them up early and gave them a little snack in airport, then a bottle during take off and then they slept.

Honestly it was easy. I was with my mom (alone would be tough). When you go through security just be organized on who will do what...ie break down the stroller, put carselts on belt etc.

Traveling at 21 months....a whole different story!!Chat Icon Chat Icon

I flew at the same age we had an early flight packed individual diaper bags no carry ons except diaper bags kept the stuff to a minimal with toys of course. Changed diapers before heading out brought carseats and snap and go I dressed easy (no shoe laces, no belts easy to go through security. I held babies while Dh was in charge of all equipment and bag etc once through we checked diapers again before boarding and prepared bottles ready to go when we went on plane we sat on opposite rows JetBlue don't allow two infants in same row so that's why I needed separate bags it was so easy they were so curious looking around before I knew it we were landing

A tip though coming home we were delayed and then made an emergency landing and delayed more so I almost ran out Olof formula so I would say to pack extra I had an extra amt for 4 extra bottles but as we know when it's twins that's only two each so I cut it close
