Holidays = Traveling!

Packing for yourself is a stressful, but packing for the you AND a little a huge headache!

JoggerMom.com's Kelly is here to Perezitos.com reader's question about which toting their tots!

One inquisitive perezicous mommy needs a little help finding the perfect plane-friendly stroller. She asks:

"I am traveling to see my family out West soon and I do not want to bring my big clunky stroller on the plane what stroller should I use?

Jogger mom says:

Traveling with a little one is stressful enough without having to worry about what stroller you should bring. Most parents want the comforts of their full service stroller in a light weight frame. I am not saying go with an umbrella stroller. If you go with an umbrella stroller both your back and your wallet will be hurting. Your wallet will be because as soon as you land you will be looking to purchase another stroller! Here is the answer….purchase the lightweight, full function Baby Jogger City Mini.

Weighing in at a slim 16.8 lbs the City Mini will make it easy for you to catch the subway while holding onto baby and stroller. The fold is one quick step and the recline is near flat making it perfect for baby to get a quick nap in. I hope that you have a successful tripwith your baby!

And if you're ready to make a purchase visit her site where all of these fine strollers are sold at: JoggerMom.com!

Look at this perfect family. Just stare at this picture and see the shining light that beams down on the gorgeous Jolie-Pitt family.

It's like staring at the Mona Lisa. Obsessed much?? Probs. But, we don't care, we love this family and their holy greatness.

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Maddox, Pax, Shiloh, Zahara, and the twins Vivienne and Knox all touched down in Tokyo early Tuesday, arriving at the Haneda International Airport looking happy and refreshed.

Can you believe they just endured a flight that took several hours??

The fam is in town to help Brad promote his movie Moneyball. We're sure there also going to do some other fun family activities like hang gliding, rock climbing, and swimming across the Sumida River. You know, normal everyday family stuff.

You all look fantastic, btw. Hope you have a fun and safe trip!

Parenting FAIL!

In an anonymous “Parenting Secrets” column, a father sheepishly admits to drugging his son on a red-eye flight, but not with the usual suspects like Gravol or Benadryl, but with Lorazepam, the Schedule IV Controlled Drug better known as Ativan!!

Have Baby Will Travel founder and Family Travel Expert Corinne McDermott consulted with top infant nutritionist Lianne Phillipson-Webb of Sprout Right, and the Sleep Doula Tracey Ruiz for tips to help toddlers and preschoolers sleep on a plane WITHOUT resorting to drugs:

While it may feel sometimes when traveling with a baby that you’re lugging along everything and the kitchen sink, Have Baby Will Travel’s founder, family travel expert Corinne McDermott shares items you definitely DO NOT need to cram into your carry-on luggage…

Airplane seat covers: (pictured above)
When you’re boarding a plane with a child in tow, you barely have a second to get organized, and you now have to slip on a seat cover? Never mind the fact that you won’t have time to do this, it doesn’t even cover the most germ-laden areas, the arm rests and tray tables.

Get yourselves seated, then give the arm rests, tray tables, and safety card a quick wipe with an antibacterial wipe, then make sure baby keeps her hands out of her mouth.

Airplane “hammocks”: (pictured below)
This gets surprisingly good reviews on various online retailers, but even if you manage to install it correctly, I can’t see it being entirely safe. If you can’t depend on the guy sitting in front of you not to give you the stink eye, how can you depend on him not to suddenly recline accidentally or on purpose?

Baby Carrier/Car Harness: (pictured below)
Don’t. Just don’t. If you’re traveling by car, your baby needs to be safely secured in an approved and properly installed car seat. Yes, car seats are a hassle to lug along when you’re traveling, but what is a little inconvenience when it comes to your baby’s safety. Bring the car seat. Or rent one when you get where you’re going. Or take public transit so you don’t have to worry about it. But please, please, don’t put your baby in something that markets itself as a carrier/car seat.

Oh no!

After putting Josie Dugger's life in danger, TLC might have to change the name of their hit show, 18 Kids and Counting, to 17 Kids and Depleting.

The youngest child of the 21 member Dugger family has reportedly suffered some serious medical problems while shooting over seas in Israel.

Little Josie was born pre maturely and is prone to sickness. Our source close to the family says the Dugger's 3 week long vaca/shoot put the tot at risk.

The source close to the family said:

“Josie has had serious breathing issues since her premature birth. While the Duggars are a loving family who adore their children, they are defi­nitely risking Josie’s life by traveling all over the world. It seems like they are putting the show before their child’s health. Jim Bob and Michelle need to put their chil­dren first, before media attention and money.”

This seems out of character for the Arkansas-based, evangelical Christian family. But who knows what the truth is?

Money and fame can do weird things to people, just ask John Gosselin!
