since u guys got experience bringing in children/babies on plane, mind to share some tips? i till now not dare to bring my son on a plane. scared he can't sit down and being restless. and also the pain in the ear. scared he cannot tahan then cry non stop. and any extra precaution if take long haul flight?
and yah. i also use escalator for stroller. but my son always my wife dukung. we won't let him inside stroller when using escalator. nowdays i always choose to go shopping mall which is stroller and also toilet which is baby friendly.
bought tix to london is it? hahah. how old is your son? if long haul at least one part of the trip your kid should be sleeping. if small can use the basinet (my son never slept long in that though). or if you really worry, then get a day flight. if noisy at least other passengers arent sleeping. get the seat near the toilet with the wall in front. me and waifu sit there and i just angkat kaki to block the way out. he can ketuk the wall all he wants and doesnt push anyones seat. so i think thats the best. pain in the ear i dunno how to help you. i think just drink milk during take off and during landing should help. worst case scenario, bring drowsy cough syrup (srs). helps him sleep. if kid cries/uncomfortable the whole flight is worse than giving a little bit of cough syrup. but each their own on that one. so far i resorted to that.

the good old day

by the way, not sure if you noticed, i was working in the outskirts of Suzhou, it was a new industrial area, forgot the name... the kids have really funny winter suits... there's this slit at their pants and one time i saw it in action
dem it was by the road side, the mom picked up the toddler, adjust him in the toilet position (legs up, bottom below), then the poop just came out from that slit
after that she just wiped once, let go of him and he continued running around, LEL

yea thats very common over there. especially in the suburban/countryside. in beijing it is less common, but can still be seen. its so they dont waste money on pampers and such. its kinda gross but at the same time its very good on the environment in terms of less diaper usage. i mean, our family goes through at least 5 a day...
