Travelling a long distance with a baby

galwaydude · 2008-11-18 14:35:59

We are travelling by Train from Boston to NY in a few weeks. We have a 15 month old. The journey will be 3 and a half hours. We picked the time to travel to correspond with her sleep times. Is there anything else we can do to make the journey as easy as possible for her.

Portable dvd player with baby einstein dvd and In the Night Garden. Bring cuddly toy and some crayons. If she is walking chances are you will spend a lot of time up and down the aisle.

Why did you decide to take the train and not fly btw?

Boston to NYC is a long journey?

mala/plastecine/play dough is great, lego too, or duplo or megablocks, i knowe megablocks do a disney princess box, great for little girls. also little things like showing her how to breath on the window and drawing in the condensation, or counting the people with yellow/brown/black hair, or making up silly songs/poems and drawing pictures of them.
