I don't usually chew it but the girls might need it and they'll be excited to get it.<br />I had a TSA almost take away one of my daughters toys once. It was a stuffed turtle that had water in its belly with sea creatures floating around. It wasnt very much water. My daughter was only 1 at the time. It never even occurred to me that it might not get past security. But the TSA asked for a second opinion and they let us through.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12575251423110138595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386999024533395972.post-41495486491551448582014-01-02T13:54:32.193-05:002014-01-02T13:54:32.193-05:00Car seat bags r basically a bag to put the car sea...Car seat bags r basically a bag to put the car seat in. I don't think you have to have one but it protects the car seat and belts from damage. Plus I can add some extra luggage in with it and its free to check. The first one I bought was the cheapest basic one that just had a shoulder strap. It was still a pain to carry so when we needed a second bag for taking 2 carseats with us, I bought one that has wheels on the bottom and its more convenient.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12575251423110138595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386999024533395972.post-74807412290262610972014-01-02T13:31:40.633-05:002014-01-02T13:31:40.633-05:00I had never heard of a car seat bag, but I guess i...I had never heard of a car seat bag, but I guess it makes sense. Parents have to transport all of those things, but I guess I've never seen it on my travels, or wondered about it. When you are packing your food, make sure it is as simple and visible as possible, and put it in clear bags. All it takes is one spiteful TSA agent to make you throw your food that is wrapped in foil, or dips because they are too liquid, or gels because they are not clear and they can't see through it. If you are into crystal lights/propel/MiO, those are good water alternatives. You can carry empty water bottles with you, and fill them up once you're through security, add the powder or liquid water flavorant and you're good to go. Don't forget gum or hard chewing candy for the kids! I always seem to forget gum on my trip back, and my ears end up hurting for days. Also, tell them to yawn when their ears start hurting. That also helps release the pressure.Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11075300256482920618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386999024533395972.post-26152192157516210482014-01-02T12:24:07.365-05:002014-01-02T12:24:07.365-05:00Great post!
