Entertaining an 8 month old on the train?

[user1496231209]

So tomorrow I'm taking my 8 month old on a 2 hour train journey and I am completely terrified.
She is a bit of a nightmare, to say the least, has outbursts of high pitched screaming for no reason and won't be confined to anything for longer than two minuets. She climbs out of her highchair and pushchair so much that I have to now feed her in her bouncer and she can't be left alone for a second in her buggy.
I am so anxious about the journey, keeping her entertained enough to be content and to not have her trying to constantly climb out of her buggy. I can't take her out and sit her down as she won't sit down at all. She's started cruising so she is constantly on the move.

Any advice/tips?

For a two hour train journey I would definitely take her out of the pushchair (unless she’s sleeping), not just for the sake of her poor little body but also the sake of your sanity and that of fellow passengers (you say she doesn’t like being confined and could have an outburst of high pitched screaming....!!). Try and time it so that you give her a meal on the train - that could keep her busy for a while. Are there ANY toys or books that keep her focus for any amount of time?
