Hi -
We are returning to Aruba to the Radisson for our 2nd time. This year we are bringing our 10 month old son. Does anyone have any suggestions for traveling w/ him on the plane? We actually just bought him his own ticket. Also, do you think i should bring my own pack and play to at least put him in under a tree at the pool at the Radisson? Any suggestions would help. THanks. So glad i am a new member! 38 Days to go!!!!!!

Sorry I am unable to assist with any personal experience, but did find this old post with some good suggestions:

Also don't forget LOTS of sunscreen, sunscreen spray for the scalp and a hat along of course with the pack and play.

Both of ours were about 10-months when they first went to Aruba. in our case we didn't purchase a ticket since we figured we be holding them most of the time. At the very least, the extra seat you have will give you some extra room.

In our carry-on we packed a small tin of formula for the flight and larger one in our checked bags for our stay on the island. We also brought a few snacks for them and some toys likely to distract and entertain them.

We packed enough diapers for the week in our checked bags as well. By the end of the week there was plenty of space in the suitcases.

We left the pack-n-play at home. Instead we bought a small pop-up cabana tent for them to play in and stay out of the sun. Neither one of them wanted anything to do with it, but other kids on the beach enjoyed it.

While they bare fit in it anymore, we took them in the carry around type car seat that locks into a base. We gate checked the seat, but if you have one it may be approved by the FAA for use on an aircraft. We left the base at home as our could be used with a seatbelt.

thanks for all your imput! did you use the tent at the pool area?

I think we did once. It normally secures into the ground with stakes on each corner, but it also has pockets on each side that lets you put heavy stuff inside to hold them down.

The pool at Playa Linda is somewhat sheltered from the wind so it's not a major concern.

do you have any suggestions on where or what we should put him in when we go to the pool?
