Double-check that bag your kiddo packed!
Make sure to check all packed bags for plastic toys that resemble a prohibited item. Toys even as small as an inch long would appear much larger through an X-ray machine and items such as a toy gun would actually shut down the checkpoint. I’m sure you don’t want that to happen.
Go ahead…bring that sippy cup!
Did you know formula, breast milk, juice, baby food, and even liquid medications in quantities greater than 3.4 ounces are exempt to the 3-1-1 liquids rule! That’s right, when it comes to baby bottles and sippy cups you are in the clear! Just make sure to remove these items from your carry-on bag to be screened separately from the rest of your belongings.
But what about the snacks!?!?
Dried fruits, nuts, granola bars, cereals, cracker, pretzel and cookies are all good options. Creamy items such as jams, peanut butter and yogurt however, are limited to travel-sized containers that are 3.4 ounces or less per item and will need to fit into a quart-sized bag. Just make sure you take the zip-top bag out of your carry-on prior to sending it through the X-ray. Learn more about what you can and cannot bring through the checkpoint.
