    BubbleBum Inflatable Booster Seat

    We used one for our last trip in January and it was great, it was easy to inflate and had great safety reviews plus now I can send it with my son if he needs to go home with a friend who doesn't have a carseat.

    Butter dish question?

    Take a look at Bed Bath and Beyond - they have several plain glass - and the look them up on Amazon (cheaper). OXO has a fairly plain one that looks like it fits a standard american stick of butter (think Land-O'Lakes). Good luck finding one and making wifey happy :)

    Anyone use Payless lately?

    We used Dollar at the end of January and they are in the garage across from the terminal (this is considered On-Site). If you sign up for Dollar Express you head straight to the garage and you can be on your way in under 10 minutes with no up-sell. We got a Chrysler Town and Country, it was...

    Family of 3 with 1 year old... Buses or get rental car?

    We are car renters ever since our first trip back in 2003 and the dining reservations agent told us to allow 60-90 minutes to get from the CBR to CT for a 7am Chef Mickey's ADR but only about 20 minutes if we had a rental car. We also like the ability to run to the grocery or walmart to pick up...

    Clear plastic backpacks?

    I used a traditional nylon backpack for our trip a few weeks ago but my little travel first aid kit was a hard plastic clear travel soap dish and another little pouch for misc. stuff was clear sided, the security guard smiled and said - "I like these, they are Disney Approved" took me just a...

    RANT: I don't care if you want to sit next to your kids on the airplane

    Along the lines of this thread, the first time I flew with my little ones they were 1 and 2.5 so we decided to a buy seat for the 1yo because we were going to use carseats on the plane. Mind you we flew SWA and knew the boarding process and the requirements of where carseats can be used (window...

    Stroller rental companies

    Last year we used Orlando Stroller and they were great, so we used them again this year and I wasn't as impressed. They didn't include the little cooler bag (helpful to pack a couple bottles of water for the park) and the stroller was pretty worn, and I had difficulty folding at one point which...

    Kids Valentine Cards for school

    My son is four and rather than stuff the teachers sent home a list of kids that my LO should make a valentine for and write (with my help) something that they like or something nice about the other child. Seems like a nice idea to get away from the candy etc and puts a positive emphasis on the...

    Parents, Please Control your Children

    Last week I was in the Boneyard sand (gravel box) in the AK with my 4yo and a bunch of other smaller kids (all of them were pretty much younger than 5-6) and then two kids came in (about 7 & 10yo) and were picking up buckets of sand (ok, this stuff is really just very small gravel) and started...

    JANUARY 2016 Car (and Minivan) Rental Code/Rates Thread

    Follow up - got home on Tuesday but came down with a sinus infection during the trip so I have been down for the count. My Dollar reservation was for $210, I was charged $208 for a Chrysler Town & Country with 5K miles - beautiful, clean and easy to drive. The pick up was easy, I had the car...

    Incoming snow storm......start the discussion!!

    The little flag on my flight yesterday saying storm warning is gone today. I am taking it as a positive that we will be able to fly out tomorrow from Providence. This is the most stressful part of the trip (when planned in January) because the weather is COMPLETELY out of your control.

    Incoming snow storm......start the discussion!!

    Thank you Debster812! At this point, I am just keeping my fingers crossed because we can't cut and run earlier due to work obligations (Fooey being a grownup!)

    Incoming snow storm......start the discussion!!

    I wish us both the BEST of luck. I googled flightaware to see which flight is the one coming to PVD and it seems it is coming from MCO so I am hoping that it will only rain and that it will make it. last year they cancelled our flight the day before and it was just so stressful especially when...

    Incoming snow storm......start the discussion!!

    How can you figure out where your plane is coming from? - I figured it out. Hopefully it will stay as rain for Friday and we will get out on time. My flight is coming from MCO and then going back so fingers crossed it won't be too bad.

    I guess this is the price to pay for trying to fly south for the winter.

    Incoming snow storm......start the discussion!!

    We are flying out of Providence on Friday afternoon and hoping, praying, fingers crossed that the snow holds off. I wish everyone luck for the weekend and the storm. Last year we were delayed 12 hours but made it out.
