Safety Matters!

We were recently traveling to Hawaii and I saw two different methods  parents transported their toddlers. One set of parents took a risk and let their child just sit in a seat by themselves or they just held the little one. Another set of parents were more cautious and actually took a car seat and buckled their child inside during  the flight. I much prefer the second method . I prefer the second method because you protect the child in case the flight runs into choppy weather. Sometimes choppy weather make the plane bounce so much that some people who refuse to use their seatbelts actually are thrown to the ceiling and crack their heads and damage their skulls or hurt the vertebrae in their necks. This can cause person to be seriously hurt and cause extreme problems such as paralysis. Do not take the chance to get hurt or allow your children to suffer such damage. Another tip that  is really not a safety matter. Always carry some chewing gum or candy with you to give to your child when taking off or landing. The air pressure changes and causes their little ears to pop and hurt. Chewing on something helps and stops them from crying because of the pressure change. Please be safe!
