Taking to the friendly skies with an infant in tow doesn’t always feel so…friendly. That’s doubly true when you’re traveling during the busy holiday season. But while we can’t help waylay the dirty looks you might get for bringing your baby on board (just ignore them, mama!), we can help you feel prepared to tackle whatever your little one throws at you in flight.

Whether you’re embarking on your child’s first flight for the holidays or are seasoned jet-setters, here are six products that will help guarantee smoother sailing.

If you always find yourself feeling off post-trip, we have a solution. Before taking off, give your body a boost by adding Tru Niagen to your vitamin regimen.

Sago Mini Toys

2. Harvey's Doctor's Office Pillow Playset

$39.99

Keep your child entertained before and during flights with a fun toy designed to promote creative thinking. The Pillow Playsets from Sago Mini fold up for air-travel (we especially love the Harvey’s Doctor Office!) and then unfold to help keep little ones distracted during any delays. Simply toss a couple in your carry-on to break out whenever a potential tantrum strikes.

BABY B'AIR

3. BABY B'AIR Flight Vest

$39.95

When traveling with a baby, safety is tantamount. Unfortunately, options to secure in-lap infants are limited. Which is exactly what inspired founder Greg Nieberding to create the BABY B’AIR Flight Vest, a soft cotton body and nylon strap harness.

Not only does the BABY B’AIR Flight Vest prevent dangerous movement or slips during travel, but it will also save you time in security check because it doesn’t require an extra scan the way car seats often do.

portable-changing-pad

SnoofyBee Changing Pad

4. SnoofyBee, SnoofyBee

$29.99

One of the biggest challenges of traveling with babies? Keeping them from touching all.the.things. Never is this truer than on public changing tables and surfaces. But thanks to the Snoofybee, you can carry a clean surface with you while also keeping little hands contained from touching anything unseemly.

Bonus: The pad’s redirection barrier can also put a stop to baby’s who are fascinated with touching their own dirty diapers. Because blech.

pepid-shoes

5. Pediped Shoes

$19.99

Give your child some comfy kicks to rock in the terminal (while they hopefully burn off any extra energy before boarding). Pediped shoes are designed for safe foot development and made from soft, pliable materials that your baby won’t try to rip off the moment you set them down—and many are machine washable, meaning you can quickly wash away any airport grime when you get home.
