The extra long weekend over Chinese New Year only spells one thing for globetrotters in the region - an opportunity for a little GETAWAY!!! While taking an airplane is never the most comfortable journey, with long hours and limited space to move about, even we adults try to make the best of it with comfortable clothing and neck pillows. So what can we do to help our fidgety little tots travel better?

We’ve come out with a list of items that can help your kids have a more fuss-free plane ride (and hopefully help you catch some snooze as well!)

Dino Pterodactyl Print Long Sleeved Tee

First things first, we have to make sure our little ones are dressed in something comfortable! With its loose fit, this Dino Pterodactyl Print Long Sleeved Tee is perfect for the occasion, as children can start to get uncomfortable in clothing that are too stiff or tight. Throw on a jacket if it gets cold or roll up the sleeves if your destination is warm.

Rolling Clouds Organic Pyjamas Set 

If you happen to take the red eye, or prefer something cozier for your child, check out this organic pyjamas set! Made of 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton, this outfit would ensure maximum comfort through the long hours on the plane. The long sleeves and bottom will also keep your child warm, and prevent skin irritations from dusty seats!

Orange Cosy Corners Organic Sleepsuit 

An alternative to the pyjamas set, this organic sleepsuit would be perfect for younger children! Made of 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton, this sleepsuit ensures your child will have an enjoyable and pleasant journey. The footsies prevent your little tot’s feet from getting cold, and press stud openings along the legs make it extremely convenient for diaper changes, especially with the limited room onboard the flight.

Summer Stripe Espadrille by Pretty Brave 

As children grow tired and try to get cozy on the plane, it would be most enjoyable for them to do so with their shoes off! This summer stripe espadrille slip-on makes it easy for them to put on or take off their shoes, especially with its suede heel tag. Made of natural leather, and having a non-slip suede sole also ensures comfort and safety for your child, perfect for them to run around and explore places.

BedBox in Blue by Jetkids 

Isn’t a holiday meant to be fun and relaxing? However, we understand the troubles of kids being unable to sleep on flights due to the discomfort, leading to less than relaxed and sleep deprived parents. Introducing bedbox by Jetkids, a potential game changer to all your travel plans.

Jetkids’ Bedbox is a carry on, ride on suitcase, and a bed/leg rest all in one box! With a 20 litre volume, you can easily place all your kid’s necessities into the box, allowing it to double as a hand carry. The sturdy box also allows your child to ride it when he or she gets tired, and it comes with 360-degree swivel wheels, making it extremely easy to maneuver! Lastly and most importantly, this bed/leg rest can be adjusted to fit most economy seats, allowing your child to lie down comfortably for a deep slumber. With that, Jetkids Bedbox can hopefully not only give your child a better flying experience, but perhaps provide you with more rest too!

Softening Body Lotion by Naif 

Whenever we get off a plane, our skin often feels taut, due to the lack of moisture in the air. Made of pure and mild ingredients, this softening baby lotion by Naif would be perfect to keep your child’s skin hydrated and soft through the flight! It also has a lightweight texture, preventing feelings of stickiness. This mildly formulated lotion makes it perfect for not only children, but for you too!

Kanken Classic Backpack in Green/Peach Pink by Fjallraven

Traveling with children often involves bringing many items, from extra clothing to toys to keep them entertained. These items while small, often eventually lead to quite a heavy load, creating a strain on your shoulders. With the Kanken Classic Backpack made of lightweight Vinylon F, we believe it would be a great bag to act as a carry on. Not only is it a backpack which leaves both your hands free to manage your little tot, but the bag is also incredibly roomy while maintaining a fixed structure, allowing you to pack necessities for your child without having a bulging bag.

We hope this list lets you have a more relaxing and enjoyable journey not only for your children, but for you parents included! All things featured can be found in our Le Petit Society and concept store at DownTown Gallery. We wish you and your family a happy holiday!
