travelling with 15 month old!!!!!

[robdan]

Hi all
I'M due to go on a trip to london for a womens march and me and daughter have to go from nottingham to london on a coach which will be approx 3 hours
My daughter is very very active and vocals are very loud to say the least!!!
I have considered just not goin this year but would like your advice on if u have done this before and what you did yo entertain your lil ones I just worry we will ruin peoples journey
Please advice would be great xxx

Sounds great that you're still marching, I've been rubbish at that kind of thing recently. Regarding long journeys in confined spaces, do your best to keep her quiet but totally don't worry what other people think, most will understand and not mind, some will be grumpy and be aggrieved by anything on a journey so s*d 'em, and usually a friendly grandmother type will do a sterling job of entertaining with waves etc. Also I had many occasions on trains when the person I thought was glaring the whole time (business man/ posh lady etc) was the first to jump up with a smile when we dropped a sock!

Oh and did I mention ipod? Peppa Pig? Thomas? My DS can watch a 1hr Thomas film repeatedly for 3 hours easy if I let him. (Erm, not that I ever tried that...)

Yea im still keen on going to marches and protests but its jus travelling with 15 month old that I worry about its not too bad as its an organised coach for the event in london but just worry because she is very vocal and has a tendancy to throw tantrums at a drop of a hat
Thanks for ideas tho she loves postman pat and in the night garden so might download some on to laptop and have them ready to play also try n get her new lil toy as she loves gifts haha
Its hard to say if she will sleep tho as we will be setting off bout 7.30-8
She was good last year but she was jus lil baby haha
I'm guna try n find different things we can do in london before and during the march so she dnt get too bored I'll tak a saucepan and wooden spoon so she can make noise haha
