Kidport at Boston Logan Airport
Recently we made our way across the country visiting my husband’s family. We traveled as far away as one could possibly travel within the United States, coming from California to Boston, then taking a shuttle plane up north to Maine. It was our ten-month-old baby’s first airline trip.
She was amazing! She was perfectly happy as long as she was in either one of our arms. Upon take-off and landings I made sure to put her on my breast to ease any altitude problems with her ears popping.
At Boston Logan Airport we found a place called Kidport, sponsored by the Boston Children’s Museum. What a wonderful idea! It was a lifesaver for us while waiting between flights. Our baby was totally immersed in the play space. There are rocking chairs for mothers with nursing babies. There is a great exhibit on airline travel, coupled with an airplane slide and a baggage claim slide that bigger kids can run around in. There is a ball trail and other play spots. The whole area is wide open and a real haven from the rest of the busy airport.
