Tour busses:
One of the bands I listen to (Weezer) got in a pretty severe bus crash last winter. They had the singer's wife and baby on the bus with them. The singer and his assistant were pretty severely injured (broken ribs, legs, punctured lung). They said the baby wasn't injured because she was harnessed into her "crib unit." Has anyone heard of these? If so, how safe are they? I know several other artists (like Gwen Stefani) travel with their kids on busses too. I would hazard a guess that that the majority of them don't do it safely.
Triplets:
Some of you may remember that my sister has triplets. They're four months old now. She's planning on coming up to Seattle (from Arizona) in February with her babies and her husband. They'd be flying.
She has no idea how to go about transporting the babies and their seats. She already knows she needs to buy seats for each baby, so that's not an issue. She's planning on bringing the coccoros, but has keyfits too.
She wanted me to relay a few of her questions:
1) how should they go about getting through the airport? They babywear a lot, so she's thinking maybe wear one baby each, put the third in their double stroller and try to put one car seat in the unoccupied side of the stroller. What about the other seats?
2) How should they arrange themselves on the plane? They don't have enough adults to sit one with each baby. She was thinking one row going (from the window out) baby, baby, DH. Then another row baby, her, some random poor sucker sitting between a family with infant triplets.
3) Is installing seats on planes similar to cars? How should she go about doing this? Any tutorials anywhere?
4) Is it safe to take the babies out of the seats during the flight besides just to change diapers? Obviously she'd do it as little as possible, but what about soothing babies and nursing?
Sorry this is so long! She's super overwhelmed and no one knows how to help her.
