Traveling on a flight with my 2 year old this spring. Any recommendations for seats for the plane? I’ll be solo, so something that is easily carried with easy set-up would be great!

Cosco Scenera is great, ultralight, economical seat. Kid seats have to go in the window so that means a middle for you. Or you can skip it, but I find kids are more comfortable and nap better, not mention safer, in the car seat. Bring lots of snacks, lots of non-noise making toys with , iPad if you’re ok with the screen time (we do full brain fry for flights), and a heap of patience.

I’m so jealous I can’t use one myself.

I’ll also take any advice for traveling with child solo

Also make sure that they eat and drink during takeoff and landing to help minimize ear pain during pressure changes. Be prepared to change their diaper right at your seat. Not all airplanes have some type of changing table available.

An umbrella stroller that you can gate check is good as well. You can contain the child when needed in the airport, plus it makes for a good way to transport them through the terminal while carrying other bags.

Idk if applicable for 2 year olds but I bought a Doona 3-in-1 for traveling with our 9 month old and it has been worth every penny.

2nd vote for cosco scenera

Third vote for the scenera. We just used it this week for a flight with our 17 month old. Toys, screen time, and food/milk during takeoff and landing. Good luck!

Just looked it up. Did you bring a full car seat onto the airplane and strap it to the seat? Is that allowed? Does it fit?
I’ve seen straps that will wrap around the seat and go over the kid’s shoulders...
Interested in feedback

Not many fit rear facing. Mostly you’re keeping the kid comfy, restrained, and age from turbulence.

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together. It was such a beautiful relationship but ultimately he just didn’t love me. I love him so much. My mind knows that I deserve reciprocal love and I’m worthy, but I feel physically ill. My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

Have you ever taken a job you know you will hate because you needed the money right away? I have a family to take care of.

It's a matter of really ruining some of our financial future if we don't get money soon.

How can I get passed cynicism?

Having struggled with visa for the past ~6 years, I have become extremely cynical. I don’t trust real friendships anymore because friends turned into competitors or got too burdened to maintain the friendships.
I feel somewhat disgusted when my coworkers or managers tried to “build rapport” with me.
I understand the value of doing so, but my repulsion inevitably showed through my apparent desire to end small talks as soon as possible.
