Alternatives to Stokke bed box for kids on Lufthansa?

Hello!

I understand that comfort devices like the Stokke Bed Box are not allowed on Lufthansa’s flights, but are there any alternatives that people have tried for their children on long haul flights?

Will be flying with a 4 yo in the summer and would love to figure out a way to help him sleep more comfortable on board (without needing to sleep across our laps).

Thank you!

How to teach my 3.5 yo that running away from teachers is not safe?

My son is in pre-school and is supposed to start Pre-K in August when he is 4 years old. He has been at this daycare center for nearly 2 years with minimal incidents, however, since his baby brother was born 6 weeks ago, his behavior has become more problematic. Recently (like this week), he has started to run away from teachers during transition periods, particularly when going from the outdoor playground back inside to the classroom. He will run inside and back to his classroom and then hide. Obviously this is extremely unsafe and the daycare center has provided a warning that he may be disenrolled if this continues.

We've talked to him about the danger in running away because he runs away from us in public places as well, but he thinks it's a game to be chased and thinks it's funny to hide from adults.

Can anyone recommend anything to help address these safety concerns with him and get him to understand this is not tolerated? His other behaviors are more related to poor impulse control as well, but he's intelligent enough to know that he shouldn't be doing these things, but he just doesn't process that he needs to stop.

Hello!

We are traveling to Europe in the summer with our toddler who will be 4 by the time the trip comes around. My guess is by the time we go on our trip he will be around 42-45 pounds and nearing 42" tall. Since we will be walking a lot, I know at some point he will refuse to walk and ask to be carried, which is exhausting for a big kid. Is it worth bring a stroller around with us for the times he wants to sit down? Or are there other alternatives that we could look into? We have a Nuna TRVL and a Nuna Mixx Next, but I'm wondering if something like the Doona Liki or something would be less cumbersome to travel and walk around with when my son is walking. We also have the Munchkin wagon, but I think that might be a little big for European sidewalks and buildings. Plus, carrying that thing up and down stairs would be less than optimal.

Appreciate the advice!

For what it's worth, we also have a newborn, but he's not coming on the trip, so if we invest in another product, we could use it with him once he's big enough.
