Baby Diaper Bag

When traveling with babies, you really need to be prepared for any possible scenario. Usually this means bring extra luggage that you don’t normally keep on hand. Depending on what your destination, the list of items to bring might vary slightly. But regardless of how you get to your vacation spot, your baby needs to be cared for while in transport.

Here is a handy checklist of baby friendly transport items to bring on the boat, car or airplane trip. It is advised to have a diaper bag or two, which only carries the baby items. The main bag will be a diaper bag that has the most used necessities and the second bag, which can be a average backpack, another diaper bag or even a rolling luggage that can keep the larger more bulky items for later use. Remember, you want to be prepared for anything that could make your baby uncomfortable during the trip, so bring as many bags as needed to fit the below items:

• Blanket to shield baby from the sun as well as keep her warm and comfortable
• Soft bucket hat with a brim that provides shade to the nose, ears and neck
• Sunglasses that your baby can wear to protect her young eyes
• Baby sunscreen with an SPF of 50+ that protects from UVA and UVB rays
• Books that your baby can listen to you read while traveling
• Their favorite snacks and drinks are great while traveling because it keeps her happy and helps her swallow when elevation could make ear pressure painful
• Usual eating and drinking tools just in case they are not provided
• Baby wipes are the best tool for cleaning up sticky spills and cooling baby off during warm trips
• Foldable changing pad that can easily be wiped clean and used anywhere
• Baby medicines for ear infections, pains, fever, stomach problems, etc
• Toys that will keep baby busy while stuck on your lap or on a car seat for long distances
• Insect repellent can come in a spray, bracelet, and clip-on form to keep your baby free from bites
• Emergency contacts that can be called when you are at your destination
• First aid kit with bandages, ointments, tweezers, thermometer, sunburn aloe and a cooling pack with emergency contacts near your destination
