Travel with Baby

0 - 6 months old

I traveled regularly with our newborn son.  The first time was when he was 20 days old, then alone on a plane, on a 6-hour flight to Hawaii, and more!  Check out the items I found useful.

If you *can*, get your baby their own seat on the plane and bring your car seat on the plane.  If that is out of reach, be ready for lots of snuggles!

TRAVEL WITH BABY MUST-HAVES:

gate check bag

.

Gate Check Bag

These pack down super small and are perfect to stuff your carseat or stroller into at the gate to keep them safe and clean.

THIS BAG!

Welcome to your new carry-on bag - this holds literally everything you need including your computer.  And it's cute.

Also, I randomly got sick on the airplane and threw up in this and it saved all of our stuff from being covered in vomit.

Baby Wet Bags

Poopy onesie?  Throw it in this bag.  Keep one of these in your diaper bag (see above) at all times.

travel baby bottle dryer

Travel Bottle Dryer

I have the OxoTot one too, and definitely prefer this version - it's bigger, but can dry more bottles! 

baby brew bottle warmer

It keeps selling out, so get on the wait listt!

Baby's Brew Bottle Warmer

This is my favorite parenting device.  You can warm breastmilk or water for formula so fast!

Brica Baby Travel Pod

I have used this thing everywhere - on the floor of the airport, the floor of the plane, going camping, on the beach, just buy it.

baby stain remover

.

Miss Mouth's Stain Remover

I don't understand what is in this - pure magic.  This removes poop stains, spit-up stains, red wine stains, every stain you can think of.

Hatch Sound Machine

This thing is awesome - perfect for the plane, walking around town, the hotel, etc.  It doesn't have to be this exact one, but bring a portable sound machine!

portable travel baby bath tub

.

Baby Portable Bath

This is clutch - it blows up in 3 breaths, packs up tightly, and can hang dry.  Keeps baby safe!

travel formula container

Trust me - I bought and tried every option.  This one is the best.

Formula Container

If you are using formula, this device is amazing.  It has 4 separate containers which is better than the munchkin option.  

stroller organizer

.

The best stroller organizer

I have one for every stroller in our house - it holds coffee, bottles, water bottles, burp cloths, your phone - everything.

stroller fan

.

Stroller Fan

If you are going anywhere where it might be remotely warm (including a plane), carry this with you!  This thing is a game changer.

HONORABLE MENTIONS:

We use the Nanit at home, but it doesn't work at most hotels because of the type of internet connection.  We bought this additional monitor just for travel with the flexi-stand to attach it anywhere we end up!  We also use this one when we go camping in our van - but it does require power.

We travel quite a bit, so we upgraded our car seat and stroller bags to the two shown here.  The stroller bag fits our travel stroller, but not the big stroller that attaches to the carseat.
