 *Pro Travel Mom Tip – we try not to give Santino snacks during our normal routine. When travelling, they are nice to have on hand. Try to keep them for ‘emergency only’ when you’re running late to a meal and other options, like fresh berries, are not available.

 

  • Healthy Snack packets

https://amzn.to/3rQdKRK

 *Pro Travel Mom Tip- I always advise bringing more than you think you’ll need, incase you get delayed or stuck somewhere while traveling. Keep plenty in your diaper bag even if baby is eating table food.

​​

  • Sterilizing bag for infant bottle

https://amzn.to/3kfAmHd

​

SLEEPING ITEMS

  • Slumberpod

https://amzn.to/3ELxlIb

*Pro Travel Mom Tip – the slumberpod is challenging to put together in some tighter hotel rooms. Keep calm and know that it will be worth it at 7PM bedtime when you and dad need to keep the lights on for a couple more hours.

​

  • Travel Pack N Play

 https://amzn.to/3xXN0CO

*Pro Travel Mom Tip – when in doubt bring the pack n play. Hotel cribs are typically bulky and NOT SAFE. Most hotels wrap a bedsheet around the crib mattress. If anything, be sure to bring your own crib sheet!

 *Pro Travel Mom tip – practice sleeping in the pack n play & slumberpod at least four nights in advance. This way baby is familiar with the darkness and comfortable with their temporary sleeping environment.

 

  •  Baby monitor (not wifi based)

Buy Here

*Pro Mom Travel Tip – never under any circumstances leave your child unsupervised in a hotel room. Strangers have access to your room at all times so don’t even think about walking down the hallway to grab ice or sit at the lobby bar. Your baby monitor can be used to view inside the slumberpod.

BATHING ITEMS

  •  Baby travel soaps and shampoo

https://amzn.to/3KeQ8wg

*Pro Travel Mom Tip – bring a baby bath towel or two, the hotels are laundered with chemicals and can be quite large and itchy for baby

​

  • Sunscreen

https://amzn.to/3xLL00i

https://amzn.to/3kanpys 

 *Pro Travel Mom Tip – baby sunscreens are loaded with toxic chemicals. Both Babo Botanicals and Attitude Living are safe options for baby. Stay clear of most other brands & if you have questions you can always contact me!

​

  • Water wipes

https://amzn.to/3Kdn3S6

 

  • Diapers

​​

  • Toothbrush & Toothpaste 

​​

  • First-Aid Kit and infant Tylenol/ Motrin 

LOGISTICAL ITEMS

  • Travel Car Seat

            Buy here

 *Pro Travel Mom Tip – buy a travel carseat, if your baby is out of their infant car seat size. The Cosco Scenera Next is one of the most highly rated in the travel mom industry. It is super light weight, and very simple to install quickly if you’re hopping through ubers.

 

  • Travel car seat bag

            https://amzn.to/3vEIwOt

​​

  • Travel stroller bag

https://amzn.to/3vcT5cx

*Pro Travel Mom Tip – Some stroller brands, like UppaBaby, have a travel bag that comes with a damage-free guarantee. It basically provides you with an insurance policy if your stroller is damaged during airport travel. Of course we always GATE CHECK the stroller and car seat to ensure safe handling.

​

  •  Stroller cup holder

https://amzn.to/38n4HAH

 

  • Stroller / Travel fan

https://amzn.to/3rPa5nd

​

​

  • Baby Proofing & Safety Items 

* Pro Travel Mom Tip - give this one some thought. It really differs if you're staying in a hotel room, versus an AirBnb or house. Do you need doorknob and cabinet locks? Or will electrical outlet covers be sufficient?

What Our Clients Say

Did you know?

Although children can fly for free as an "in-lap" infant until 2 years of age, it is safer to put them in their carseat on the airplane.
