Are you traveling with babies in the near future? Make your experience a smooth one by being prepared! While you may be nervous for your impending trip, being prepared can help set you up for success and make your travels that much more enjoyable. Many parents are nervous to travel with their babies, but it is actually easier the younger they are, we started traveling with our daughter at 7 weeks old. When they’re so little, they don’t need their own plane ticket and don’t move around like toddlers do.
This post is all about traveling with babies.
BabyQuip
This is probably my #1 tip when it comes to traveling with babies! BabyQuip is the #1 baby equipment rental service that offers thousands of baby gear items in over 1,200 cities across the US, Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, Australia and New Zealand. When using BabyQuip, you can rent baby essentials like full sized cribs, strollers, car seats, toys, books, high chairs, carriers, monitors and more! No need to schlep all these items with you, you can rent them all and have them set up and ready to go, whether you’re staying at a hotel, AirBnB or a family’s home. They will even meet you at the airport with the car seats and strollers!
Baby Carrier
When traveling with babies and trying to board a flight, it is so important to be able to be hands-free so you can carry everything that you need, that is why a baby carrier is at the top of our list when it comes to baby travel essentials.
This baby carrier is so comfortable to wear, is made with breathable mesh, has forward facing options, offers lumbar support and has cushy shoulder straps.
Car Seat Travel Bag
When checking your stroller and car seat before boarding your plane, I highly recommend using buy a car seat travel bag when traveling with babies.
Car seats are expensive, and you don’t want them to get damaged or dinged up, which can easily happen if they’re checked without a cover, trust me, we learned this the hard way. And a bonus-you can stuff the car seat travel bag with items that didn’t fit in your checked bag or carry on, like extra diapers, clothes, etc.
Bottle Brush Set
This baby bottle drying rack and bottle brush set is such a handy thing to pack when traveling with babies! The bottle brush breaks own in half to neatly pack away in the case, making it super easy to clean bottles on the go! I also love to use these mini 3 oz bottles of baby bottle and dish soap when traveling.
Sound Machine
There are always so many sounds, lights and distractions when traveling with babies, having a portable sound machine is a great way to try and drown out the noise and give your baby some comfort when they’re in new spaces. This compact portable sound machine is my favorite and we don’t leave home without it! It features 10 soothing sounds, charges using a USB-C cable and has a long battery life! We clip it on our son’s car seat, his stroller and even use it at nighttime when traveling, so we don’t have to bring his larger sound machine that has to plug into a wall.
Diaper Bag
This diaper bag makes hand-free wrangling super easy when traveling with babies and is perfect for new parents on-the-go. It carries all your newborn essentials, clips easily to your stroller, features a luggage sleeve, making it the perfect diaper bag for traveling.
Lightweight Stroller
This lightweight stroller is perfect for your next flight or cross-country road trip, its compact fold fits in the airplane overhead bins and leaves you with plenty of trunk space. It has a lightweight frame, sleek design and full seat recline, which is perfect for those quick naps.
