Question for parents who traveled w/toddler
we are flying tlv-jfk
it looks like we won't be taking our full size stroller as we have one in ny to use, plus we have a mclaren umbrella folding stroller to take back with us. We looked into buying a cheepy one just for the airport in tlv but as all things in Israel, a (safe) stroller that would cost me $40 in NY would cost me $150+ in Israel.. we're not trying to be cheap just annoying to spend $150 for a two hour stroller... DS is 17 months old, and walks/runs just fine but he's quite curious so I'm afraid of having trouble keeping him from being restless and having to chase him around.. Also a 12 KG toddler is kind of hard to hold for very long periods of time especially when squirmy :p Am I being too optimistic in thinking there is some sort of airport stroller rental :rolleyes: in tlv? any other suggestions from parents that went sans stroller at airport would be very much appreciated! Thanks! |

Your cheapest option although it's only part of the solution, would be to arrange a VIP service at TLV, meaning you will be transported by car untill passport control, which will help you avoid most of the walking, and will give a extra person to help with your luggauge.

Get the cheap stroller, we have always had one too in addition to the fancy one and very handy when travelling. |

Thanks! I'd have to say as a parent of little ones myself, you are misplacing your concern, in that case. You should be worried about the plane ride and getting him a seat on the plane, not a stroller in the airport. The airport difficulties are small beans compared to what you already know: A 12kg toddler is kind of hard to hold for very long periods of time, especially when squirmy. Take the Maclaren. it will be fine. |

I assume this is the same child you are taking as a lap child in your other post? :eek:
