Teaspoon of Adventure: A Family Travel Podcast · Oct 22, 2026 · 41m

Before you get on an airplane with your baby, there are so many decisions you need to make. Buy them their own seat or take them on as a lap-infant? Try for the bassinet seat? Risk a tight connection or take an extended layover? What should you check and what should you carry on? And when should you board?
