There is nothing so rewarding or challenging as traveling with an infant. You’ll have memories to last a lifetime and having the best tools ensures those memories are good.
While there are tons of travel toys and disposable wipes out there to keep baby happy and clean, it’s the bigger accessories that will make or break your trip.
Look for tools to help you move freely, keep the baby secure, keep your kid well-rested, and keep your gear clean.
Ways to Make Traveling With an Infant Simpler
Baby Backpack
Diaper bags have evolved in several directions in the past few years. You can buy a bag so sleek and stylish no one will know it’s for baby. If you’re traveling, though, you want a bag that rides on your back.
A durable diaper bag backpack makes a huge difference whenever you need a free hand.
No need to juggle the baby and the handle, and it makes a world of difference during a long day of hiking, touring museums, etc. You’re also far less likely to set it down and walk off without it.
Portable Sleeper
Babies sleep best in a familiar environment. A portable sleeper or collapsible playpen lets you take that environment on the road.
They reduce the stress on baby and parents when you stay in hotels, sleep in an RV, or camp in a tent.
Some portable bassinets fold up small enough to fit in a large diaper backpack, and reviews can help you determine which sleeper is best for your travel conditions and your child’s age.
