I was planning on bringing a small suitcase and a backpack. Will they allow me to bring those items?

Answer
You're allowed one carry on item and one personal item.

Approved Personal Items
1 purse, briefcase, camera bag or diaper bag
or 1 laptop computer (computers cannot be checked)
or 1 item of a similar or smaller size to those listed above

Additional Approved Items
The following items do not count as personal items (theyâre freebies):

A jacket or umbrella
Food or drink purchased after clearing the security checkpoint
Duty-free merchandise
Special items like strollers, child restraint seats or assistive devices such as wheelchairs or crutches

Here are also the size restrictions for carry on bags:

Baggage may not exceed 45 linear inches (or 115 cm) in combined length, width and height
Baggage must fit easily in the Carry-on Baggage Check (approximately 22" x 14" x 9" or 56 x 36 x 23 cm), which is located near the check-in counters

How do I handle all the baggage and my child when flying alone?

Amanda R

I am going to be flying non-stop to Colorado from St. Louis in a couple weeks. I will be flying alone with my one year old. I need to take his carseat(checking) and stroller(would like to keep it so I can use it in the airport so I guess it is like a carryon but it will be held at the front of the plane), and a suitcase (will be checking), and a diaperbag that I will be carrying on. My question is how am I going to handle all of this stuff when I pick it up at baggage claim and until I check it through? Will there be people that can help me get my bags or not?
Will they let me check the stroller so I can have it plane side?

Answer
I'm an ex-F/A who flies now alone with my three between Europe and California about every six months since each was about 4 months old. We also take shorter trips a lot.

1. I don't take a purse. I take a small fanny pack or long strapped small bag with my essentials and a backpack. It's a bit bigger than the standard size (I have one just for flying) and fits the onboard limits. With just one child, consider leaving or packing the diaper bag.

2. Attach the carseat to the stroller. Use bungee cords and perhaps try them back-to-back. Another option is to check/leave the stroller and put the carseat on "wheelie" cart. Make sure it's all metal and there is a gadget sold that fits several carseats. http://www.amazon.com/Gogo-Kidz-Travelmate/dp/B000MWZWV8 It's available on other sites too but that's just to show you what it is. I've done fine with an *all metal* cart and extra bungee cords. My old wheelie from my first airline found a second life by carting carseats!

3. Make sure you have a good carrier for your baby. Forget those fiddly Bjorns and use a wrap, sling or pouch. A Mei Tai or something like an Ergo carrier works well too. Carriers should last to at least 2 years. My 3 year old can still go in her sling. Great for calming babies onboard or getting sleeping children off the aircraft. Check out http://www.peppermint.com or http://www.kangarookorner.com for ideas (I don't work for those sites-they actually represent multiple companies).

4. In baggage claim, load the bags, put the carseat on the top along with any hand luggage and the stroller and push it *all* while the baby goes in the carrier. I've managed alone through customs and two other children this way.

For the record, I've never used a skycap. They're not used for international but use one if available. Tip well so that they'll be nice to the next family ;)

What I do with the backpack is that I wrap diapers, extra clothes, etc. and rubber band them to make room. I bring a cloth bag (the kind you buy in grocery stores as an alternative to plastic and paper) and use that onboard for diaper changes, etc. (so I'm not hauling the whole backpack around). I simply put what I need for each trip to the lav.

I have an article on flying with children that I put on a blog to share with other parents. It's totally non-commercial and sort of my own personal Mitvah. Feel free to check out;
http://flyingwithchildren.blogspot.com for more details on carseats, packing, booking and other tips.

Otherwise, have a good trip (and be grateful you don't have to face Customs!)

work experience at a primary school please help!?

Danni_Doll

i am working at a primary school for a week as part of my work experience but i have a few questions,

anyone done this for work experience before?
what did you wear?
what will i need to take with me? any pens, pencils etc?
do i need to take a bag? how big?
thankyou very much. any help would be appreciated whether you have done this for work experience or not (:

Answer
I took a class for two years during high school, called Future Teachers of America. So, I guess it can be considered work experience. The teacher was there, and we were little tutors going around helping the students with their work, organizing the area, and preventing general chaos. Don't wear anything with holes or something that your parents might be embarassed seeing you in. If your parents are a bad example, your big protective brother, or a priest. Jeans are fine, as long as they aren't low cut. Low cuts are bad when a six year old boy sings the "I see London, I see France, I see So and So's underpants" song. I only say this, because one, its very embarassing, and two, it's distracting the students from their work. A t-shirt is okay, but a turtle neck, or a nice non-insulting shirt that isn't too tight, or loose, is good. I live in a year round cold climate, so I always wore a sweater. Bring a pencil, with an eraser. It helps if you are trying to explain a problem to a student. If you want to take anything else, sure bring a bag, but be prepared to set that aside from everything else in the classroom. Only go and get something if you need it. We had everything ready for us, and the teachers already had their supplies. A small notepad is good too. If you have any questions on how to handle the kids, quickly jot it down, and ask your supervisor, boss, or even the teacher, when he or she has time.
Your first day come five/ten minutes early. You will be at the classroom slightly prior to everything being disrupted. This gives you time to try to get adjusted to your surroundings. If the school has the students going to different classrooms and teachers, most primary schools don't, you could contact the teacher to see what exactly is needed of you. I hope I helped, and I hope that you enjoy yourself!
