Traveling with kids is a challenge like no other, especially when it involves air travel. Los Angeles-based moms, Sarah Thompson and Lisa Johnson, known for their candid and humorous take on parenting, shine a light on the pure absurdity of flying with little ones. Their latest comedic skit reveals the dread that fills the hearts of parents navigating the airport with children in tow.
Anyone who has ever flown with kids understands the inevitable truth: if something can go wrong, it will. This is particularly true when you’re in a cramped airplane cabin, especially if you’re alone with your child or juggling multiple kids. The nightmare escalates when considering the need for diaper changes. What these moms refer to as a “changing table” is more accurately described as a “tiny flip open wallet,” making the task even more daunting.
“You better hope your child is at least five before you even think about traveling,” Sarah quips in the video, emphasizing the struggle of changing a baby in a tight airplane restroom. “Do they even measure babies?” Lisa adds, echoing the bewilderment many parents feel at this absurd situation.
The comedic gold comes when they vividly describe the ordeal of attempting to change a baby in what feels like “the size of a broom closet.” Their commentary includes the chaos of diaper disasters, temper tantrums, and strangers knocking on the door—all while trying to maintain some semblance of sanity. And let’s not forget the question of whether the airline even has a changing table; many planes lack this feature, leaving parents with few less-than-ideal options, including the floor (cue the dirty looks), your lap, or the airplane toilet seat (we’ll pause for your gag reflex).
Their ultimate advice? “Don’t travel with your kids—it’s the best decision you’ll ever make.” It seems many parents resonate with this sentiment, sharing their own travel horror stories in the comments section. One parent recounts, “I was offered complimentary wine while my baby screamed. It was a true test of patience.” Another shares a laugh about discovering the changing table was too small for their growing toddler.
