Going through security with following items needed for kids
HI
Traveling this weekend from JFK with first time with kids - 3 1/2 and 1 1/2 years old. (Ageda-city)
Question - we have some items we want to make sure we can bring through security with no issues:
- EpiPen (in case of allergic reaction)
- Kids liquid Benedryl
- Diaper bag - can this be exempt as a 2nd carryon with no issues? My wife will have another carryon
Thanks!

However for the diaper bag, it's better to check the airline: they each have their own rule. So while security will definitely let you pass, it's not sure you can have the other carryon. Having flown a lot with our kids, generally a kid is also allowed a carryon on board.

Epipens are explicitly allowed. You might want to mention it to a TSO before sending the bag through the x-ray.
If the Benadryl is 3.4 fl oz or less it can go through like any other liquid that's 3.4oz or less. If it's over 3.4oz, you'll need to tell a TSO about it and you might want to bring a doctor's note saying that it's medically necessary.
TSA won't care how many carryons you have. That's purely an airline question. I think most airlines treat a diaper bag the same as any other bag of a similar size.
