Los Angeles moms, Sarah Johnson and Emily Davis of Moms Who Laugh, are back at it again, sharing their uproarious insights on the chaos of traveling with children. Their latest skit is a reality check for every parent who has ever dared to fly with kids.
Anyone who’s tried to board a plane with little ones knows that if something can go wrong, it most likely will. Air travel can become an absolute circus, especially when you’re navigating it solo or have multiple kids in tow. When it comes to diaper changes mid-flight, the so-called “changing table” is more like a “tiny flip-open wallet,” as these moms comically highlight.
“It’s like they expect a five-year-old to manage travel logistics,” Sarah quips in the video, lamenting the struggles of changing a squirming baby in an airplane bathroom that’s barely larger than a broom closet. “Do they not measure babies at all?” Emily adds, voicing the unspoken frustration of parents everywhere.
The hilarity ramps up as they narrate the chaotic experience of attempting to change a baby while avoiding tantrums, stranger interruptions, and the dreaded “rogue wieners”—all while trying to maintain sanity. This assumes the airline actually has a changing table, which many do not, leaving parents with a plethora of less-than-ideal options: the floor (hello, dirty looks), your lap, or, God forbid, the toilet seat. (Pause for dry heaves.)
Their ultimate advice? “Just don’t take your kids on a plane. It’s a wild ride.” Many parents relate, sharing their own travel horror stories:
- “I was offered complimentary wine while my baby screamed and cried, and everyone around us tried not to shoot daggers at us.”
- “When I first flew with my toddler, I asked about the changing table, and I was stunned. She was too big for that!”
- “During my last trip, my two-year-old got food poisoning, and I had to fly with a puking child. I was in tears boarding.”
- “I once traveled alone with my 2-year-old, and as we waited to de-board, she projectile vomited on me. It was just the worst.”
