Babies can sit on your lap and fly for free until they are 2 years old. To make things easier for you and if you are traveling with another person, 2 baby carriers are a must.

It is great for the whole trip and will allow you to carry your babies and still have a free hand.

After age 2 your twinnies will need their own seats on the airplane. You can choose to bring car seats on the airplane or you can get these harnesses to protect your twinnies.

No lugging heavy car seats through the airport and onto the airplane.
