Didn’t do a trip report but we took our granddaughter for 3 weeks each time to the USA at 9’weeks , 6/9/15 months


Car seat .. we always took her maxi cosi pebble plus with us , bought a good car seat bag and checked it in with the luggage
( we’ve always put other stuff in the bag on the way home with no issue )

Pushchair .. first 3 trips we took her bugaboo Fox first as pram, then as a pushchair , last trip took her bugaboo bee .
We don’t like cheap uncomfortable strollers , and we figured she’d be in it more than she was here so we’d take a good one
Again had a good travel bag , kept the pram till we boarded the plane and every time we’ve got it back at the plane on arrival

Milk we always taken her formula in our hand luggage , first trip we took 3 sealed tins and one that we opened in the hotel the night before , never had a issue with security .
Bottle wise we did as we do at home , pre filled with boiled water and added formula as and when .
Some security have just scanned the bottles some have opened them

Travel kettles are useless so we
bought a kettle from Walmart $15 and used that every trip


To sterilise we bought a big tub form Walmart and used Milton tablets / cold water .

We have a car every time , all our trips have need road trips that covered 3-3500 miles with her .

We took her to the parks , beaches, cities , nascar races etc etc , nothing was a hassle .

However we aren’t a routine led household , so we had full days and often didn’t get back to the hotels till late and she was fine .

She’s never had jet lag either , first night every trip she was put to bed maybe 10/11pm and then slept through as she did at home .

We’ve never taken our car seat on board the plane because we’ve never paid for a seat for her . Bar the last trip we’ve always got a sky cot so that’s been useful, that said at 9 months it’s his and miss if they will fit in one .


We will fly to Vegas as soon as this ban is up , she’s 2,5 now she’ll obviously now have a seat of her own probably still won’t take a car seat on board though .
