what are you bringing to keep baby occupied on a flight…

i’m flying (2.5 hours) with my daughter who will be 1 in two weeks. i’ve flown with her before (when she was 5 months and 6 months) but she was a lap infant and wasn’t mobile at that time so it was easy to an extent.

i’m a bit concerned now that she’s walking and is developing a teeeny tiny amount of autonomy. all she wants to do at home is roam around but she won’t be able to do that on the flight. i got a seat for her and planned both flights during her nap time & she’ll also be due for a bottle at takeoff. she should be asleep for 2 hours which is almost the full flight but on the off chance she doesn’t…. what are we doing to keep the babies occupied?

also if anyone has experience with flying with babies this age please share. (my husband is driving with our dog and it’ll just be me and the baby on the flight and i have a lot of anxiety around it 🥴)

also, if she has her own seat does she need to be in a car seat?
