While the debate over family-friendly and child-free airplane zones rages on, Spring break is upon us and families are hitting the wide-open skies. If mama feels overloaded with gear when simply out for an afternoon stroll, she'll feel like a pack mule once she gathers all of her goods to get her tots from the airport door to the gate. Having the right tools on hand makes the airport experience Read more
You don't have to be a parent to have a bad in-flight experience with a child. While some tots are easily distracted by the seat-back entertainment systems, others spend the duration screaming, crying, and kicking their way to their destination.

Jennifer Garner knows how to keep her fellow airline passengers happy – by keeping her girls occupied in the air! The mama of two was spotted leaving LAX Airport with a very happy Seraphina, 1, in her arms.

Nursing moms can get out and see the world, they just have to be prepared. Even mamas who are comfortable nursing in public can become anxious at the thought of nourishing their lil one en route to a new destination. Here are nine tips to make Read more
Jet-setting families know a thing or two about packing for air travel. Simply bringing carry-on luggage can alleviate a baggage carousel meltdown upon your arrival while a spare set of clothing (for both mom and tot), extra diapers, and plenty of snacks should be brought on the plane in case of emergency. Spirit Airlines' announcement that it will begin charging $45 for each piece of carry-on Read more
There are two camps when it comes to traveling via air with kids. Those who feel your pain and those who believe you never should have brought your tots in the first place. Comments on a recent CNN.com story about air travel showcased this as honestly as I have ever seen.
