22 Must-Have Baby Travel Essentials for 2022

Even if you consider yourself to be an expert at packing lightly and often travel with only your carry-on luggage, traveling with a baby is likely to change that (at least partially). Babies seem to require a lot of stuff, but we recommend only bringing the baby travel essentials that you know you’ll need and use.

While it’s tempting to pack every baby travel product just in case, more likely you’ll just feel regret for having to carry so much.

It might take some trial and error before you figure out exactly what YOU need for travel with your baby, but this list of best travel items for baby should get you well on your way!

We’ve structured this list to highlight those items that we consider to be essentials for traveling with a baby. We also offer recommendations for alternative or lighter weight baby travel products, where applicable.

We don’t include everything you need to pack for travel with a baby. All those items (like diapers, pacifiers, etc) that are part of every baby travel list can be found in our baby travel packing list at the end of this post and is free for you to download.

Baby Travel Gear for Sleeping

This section of essential baby travel gear items is the first because sleep is always on every parents mind (who doesn’t want more of it!?).

We always felt that we had a better trip when everyone was getting a good night sleep, so we made sure we brought any essential baby travel items that might help with sleep.

If you’ve read our post on getting your baby to sleep on vacation, then you know that creating a familiar sleep environment is key.

#1 HALO Swaddle SleepSack

We used the HALO Swaddle SleepSack for both our babies at home so we would bring the HALO Swaddle SleepSack every time we traveled with our baby.

This sleepsack was a major component of our baby’s sleep routine and we found it helped our baby get a good night’s sleep while on the road.

We even used it when flying with an infant, in the airplane bassinet.

We used the Swaddle SleepSack until about 6 months then switched to the HALO SleepSack without the swaddle.

#2 SlumberPod Privacy Pod

In the early days of traveling with a baby, we stayed predominantly in hotels which had cribs available which meant we didn’t need to bring our own portable travel crib.

One item that we wished had been available at the time is the SlumberPod. It will create a dark environment for your baby and would be so useful when sharing a hotel room with a baby.

Even for daytime naps at the hotel or in an Airbnb without blackout blinds, this is one of the must useful baby travel products.

The SlumberPod is one of those new products that’s come on the market recently and we consider it to be one of the best baby travel items! If the SlumberPod isn’t within your budget, here are other portable blackout blinds we recommend.

If you prefer to get a blackout curtain for the windows, one option we really like are the Sleepout Curtains which have industrial-strength suction cups plus extra Sleepout pads to help stop any light from coming through on the edges! Use code babycantravel for a discount!

Use BABYCANTRAVEL$20 to get $20 off the SlumberPod when you buy direct from SlumberPod!

Still not sure? Read our full review of the SlumberPod here

#3 Baby Travel Crib or Travel Tent

While plenty of hotels and Airbnbs have pack n’ plays available for you to use, owning a portable baby travel crib is the best way to give your baby a familiar sleep environment. It’s also one less thing to worry about if you plan to move around a lot during your trip.

For infants and babies, the best baby travel cribs that we recommend are the Guava Lotus travel crib or the BABYBJORN travel crib.

For older babies (older than 12 months old), the KidCo PeaPod Plus Travel Bed is another great baby travel bed option.

On a trip to Japan with a baby, a friend recommended the KidCo Peapod Plus Travel Bed to us and was kind enough to lend us hers. The KidCo Peapod Plus travel tent is a lightweight, sturdy travel bed which collapses to fit in a typical suitcase. What’s not to love?!?

Our little guy slept great while using it and it allowed us to sleep easy knowing he was safe and well contained. We were hooked! We got one for ourselves and used it on all our trips until he was too big for his toddler travel bed.

We have a full review of the KidCo Peapod Plus toddler travel bed where we also share all our tips for getting your baby or toddler to sleep in it.

See Best Baby Travel Beds on Amazon

#4 Baby Monitor App

Now that you’ve gotten your baby to sleep, you’ll want to keep an eye on them. We love the Baby Monitor 3G app for when we stay somewhere where the baby is in a separate room (family, friends or an apartment rental).

The great thing about this baby monitor app is it lets you leave your bulky baby monitor equipment at home.  Note that you need to have two Apple devices (i.e. one with baby and one with you) and Wi-Fi for it to work. Over 1,000,000 parents use this app and for good reason.

#5 White Noise Machine

You never can predict whether your hotel room will be loud or if the street noise will wake your baby. Using a white noise machine will enable you to replicate your baby’s sleep environment and block out extra noise that might wake your baby.

We especially liked having a portable white noise machine for sharing a hotel room with our baby and we’ve even used it on the airplane.

You can always get an app for white noise, as long as you won’t need your device in the evening when your baby sleeps.

Baby Travel Must Haves for Getting Around

#6 Baby Travel Car Seat

If you plan to bring a car seat on the airplane or need one for a rental car, then this is one of the essentials for traveling with a baby that you want to plan ahead on.

The Cosco Scenera Next is the lightweight travel car seat that you’ll see recommended time and time again, but it’s not always available. This one is another well reviewed lightweight baby travel car seat.

If you plan to fly with a car seat and not bring it on the plane, make sure to keep it safe in a car seat travel bag. You can get a protective bag for strollers too, though you’ll probably be gate checking your stroller and they aren’t quite as necessary.

See all the best car seat travel bags here, plus more ingenious ways on carrying your car seat through the airport.

Do you need a car seat for travel with a baby? Here are things to consider before traveling with car seats on airplanes, which might help your decision on purchasing a travel car seat.

#7 Baby Carrier for Travel

When it comes to getting around with a baby, we wouldn’t travel without a baby carrier. Under the category of infant travel essentials, we absolutely love the Baby K’tan Wrap and would recommend it to anyone.

The wonderful things about this wrap are how easy it is to use and how many different ways you can wear your baby in it. We love that the fabric gives it that cozy feeling keeping your baby close, while it also gives support with the band you use.

It’s like using a wrap or ring sling without the learning curve! 

We used ours until the kids were about 9 months old, and we have certainly got our money’s worth!

The one downside is that you order it depending on your size. Unfortunately, that means that it didn’t work for both my husband and I.

After the Baby K’tan, we moved to the Ergo Baby Carrier. The Ergo Baby Carrier is size adjustable, which means either my husband or I can carry the baby. It was our favorite baby carrier for travel and sightseeing with a baby.

The newest Ergo Baby Carriers enable you to carry your baby on your front (front or forward facing), back or hip which gives you plenty of ways to keep your baby (and your back) happy.

We had an original Ergo baby carrier, so we also had an infant insert which allowed us to use this baby carrier with a newborn.

#8 CoziGo Bassinet and Stroller Cover

This is one of those baby travel necessities that should be on everyone’s packing list for travel with baby! It could easily go under the category of baby travel products for sleep, flying or getting around.

The CoziGo Bassinet & Stroller Cover works as both a cover for airline bassinets and a sun shade for strollers.

We’ve made the mistake of using a blanket over the stroller and it never worked all that well. Our baby was too hot and the wind wasn’t any help! 

The CoziGo is now one of our top recommended baby travel products to get your baby to sleep on vacation.

If you are wondering what to bring for traveling with a baby and helping with naps on-the-go, definitely add the CoziGo Stroller Cover to your baby travel essentials list.

#9 Lightweight Travel Stroller

Travel strollers have come a long way, from simple umbrella strollers to lightweight travel strollers that have a canopy and fold up small enough to fit in the overhead bin on the airplane.

If you aren’t in the market to buy a separate infant travel stroller and your everyday stroller is too large to travel with, you can rent a stroller at your destination.

Use your baby carrier to get you through the airport and you might just enjoy being forced to pack lightly and have one less thing to worry about.

We cover this in more depth in our post on baby carrier or stroller for travel.

Shop Lightweight Travel Strollers on Amazon

Again, whether renting or bringing your own travel system, the CoziGo is a must have travel item! Not only for getting your baby to nap on the go, but not having to worry about them being in the sun for too long!

Baby Travel Essentials for Eating

#10 Nursing Cover

While we don’t believe a woman needs to cover up while breastfeeding, depending on your comfort level or where you travel to with your baby, a nursing cover might be a necessary item to add to your baby travel list.

For breastfeeding and pumping moms, read our post on breastfeeding on a plane.

If your baby is formula fed, then there would be more to add to this list! Know anyone who might be interested in writing a post on traveling with a formula fed baby? Send us an email at info[at]babycantravel[dot]com.

#11 Portable Travel High Chair

If you are traveling in a country where you can safely expect every restaurant to have a high chair, like these best places to travel in the usa with a baby or toddler, then you may not need a portable travel high chair.

However, a travel high chair can also be very convenient for feeding a baby in hotel rooms or if your Airbnb doesn’t have one.

Once our baby was eating solid foods, we always traveled with the MyLittleSeat Travel High Chair. A fabric travel high chair is one of the best baby travel products to pack when traveling to countries where restaurants don’t typically have high chairs!

We love that it has a 5-point harness, it attaches to the back of most chairs and if attached properly, will keep your baby securely in the chair (still never leave your baby unattended).  

As a bonus, it packs down really small, which makes it easy to bring out with you while sightseeing with your baby!

While there are some downsides to a simple fabric travel high chair, we cover them in this post on the best travel high chairs compared.

You’ll also find all our recommendations for clip on travel high chairs (like the Inglesina high chair) and other options that might suit your family better.

Shop the Best Travel High Chairs on Amazon

#12 Baby Bibs

For travel with a baby who is eating solid food, you’ll want to pack bibs that are easy to clean.

You can also pack a portable baby food masher if you want to prepare your own baby food while you travel.

#13 Silicone Table Mat

Feeding a baby finger food can get messy, especially when your baby is in the plate flinging stage. Using a silicone table mat, lets you put their food in front of them and let them practice feeding themselves.

#14 Sippy Cup & Spill Proof Snack Cup

For snacks on the go, a sippy cup and spill proof snack cup are must have baby travel items. Your baby can snack away in the stroller while you walk to the next attraction!

The Munchkin Snack Catcher is our favorite snack cup, but you can find even more spill proof snack cups for travel here.

We also have all the best travel sippy cups here.

Baby Airplane Travel Gear

Flying with a baby can be intimidating, especially for the first time. If there’s one place that packing lightly is important, then this is it. You’ll have enough to deal with, rather than worrying about a bunch of bags.

The number one item we recommend for flying with a baby is a good baby carrier. You’ll find our top two baby carriers for travel in the Baby Travel Must Haves for Getting Around section above.

If you plan to fly with a stroller frequently, consider one of these best strollers for airplane travel with a stroller travel bag for extra protection.

Here are a few other items that we always pack in our carry-on for flying with a baby:

#15 Lightweight Baby Blankets for Travel

Though this might seem like an odd item to have under baby gear. Blankets are one of the best traveling essentials for baby.

We highly recommend the Aden & Anais Muslin Swaddle Blankets. The reason we love them so much is for their large size and how lightweight they are.

They are perfect for giving your baby a place to play on the floor in that airport, obviously they work well to swaddle or keep your baby warm, and they even work as a nursing cover in a pinch. They are one of those wonderful multi-tasking baby travel essentials!

We love them so much, we even wrote an entire blog post on how useful these swaddle blankets are for travel with a baby!

The best part is that you’ll keep using these even when you are traveling with a toddler! They are worth every penny!

#16 Baby Travel Toys

While you’ll be hoping to get your baby to sleep on the airplane, you should pack a few toys to keep your baby entertained on the flight, like this one or this one.

We have several baby travel toys to entertain your baby on the plane listed here and even more in this list of travel toys for babies.

#17 Diapers and Extra Baby Clothes

Don’t forget to pack more diapers than you think you’ll need and a few extra outfits for your baby. Blowouts happen and you’ll want to be prepared.

On that note, pack an extra shirt for yourself!

Shop our Must Haves for Flying with a Baby on Amazon

Other Travel Essentials for Baby

#18 Diaper Change Pad

One more that we would definitely include in our list of essentials for travelling with a baby is a diaper change pad. You won’t need to worry about finding places to change your baby if you have one.

We used ours so frequently that it definitely falls under the category of best baby gear! Find the best diaper change mat for your family from our curated list.

#19 Backpack Diaper Bag

What about your diaper bag? Our only recommendation here is to make sure you use something that will allow you to be hands free, like this backpack diaper bag!

We’ve even used our regular hiking backpack as a diaper bag / carry-on for traveling with a baby, but one of these best backpack diaper bags for travel will be much better for keeping baby travel essentials organized.

See our full review of The Getaway Bag by No Reception Club. It has all the features parents need in a diaper bag for traveling with a baby.

#20 Inflatable Travel Bathtub

Some babies thrive on routine and getting your baby to sleep on vacation often means replicating your bedtime routine while you travel.

If a bath is part of your baby’s bedtime routine, you can purchase an inflatable bathtub for travel. Other alternatives are to use the hotel sink or give your baby a wipe down with a warm cloth.

We share all the best baby bathtubs for travel here.

#21 Travel Baby Monitor

While we love the simplicity of using an app for a baby monitor for traveling, it’s not always the best solution (you need a strong consistent signal for it to work).

You need to keep one of your devices with the baby or carry an extra device.

One alternative is to pack a travel baby monitor. Then you’ll rest easy knowing you can still keep an eye on your baby. This is especially important if you are renting an Airbnb with separate rooms.

See all our recommended baby travel monitors here.

#22 Thermometer and Baby Tylenol

While we hope you’ll never have to deal with your baby being sick when you travel, packing a few essentials and a baby first aid kit will be well worth it.

We always included a baby thermometer and baby Tylenol in our carry-on luggage. The last thing we wanted was trying to find these items in a country where we didn’t speak the language!

The Most Essential Things to Pack When Traveling with a Baby

We’ve done it all from flying long haul flights with an infant, to traveling with a baby and a toddler. Trust us when we say that for flying with a baby, you won’t want the added stress of extra bags and baby travel items to lug around the airport and to find room for in your rental car.

Over time and after several trips, we’ve really narrowed it down to which products are actually baby essentials for travel. In the list of Traveling with Baby Essentials above you’ll find what we consider to be the best travel products for babies.

We also make note of those that are true travel essentials for babies and those that are “nice to have” baby travel accessories if you have the space. If your trip involved time on the beach, make sure to check out our baby beach essentials.

If you aren’t looking to purchase one of these essentials for traveling with baby, here are the options you that may allow you to avoid purchasing or packing one of these essential travel items for baby:

  • For the bigger traveling accessories for babies, like a portable crib or a high chair, first check with your hotel or Airbnb host. Even if the high chair or pack n’ play isn’t listed in the description, your host may be able to make one available for you. It never hurts to ask!
  • If neither of those options work out, you can still avoid bringing all that baby gear and rent these must have items for traveling with baby at your destination. In larger centers, you can often find a reputable baby equipment rental company that can deliver baby travel essentials directly to your hotel or Airbnb apartment.
  • For other baby travel items, you may be able to use an alternative item – like many parents did in our post about the best travel hacks for babies and toddlers.

If you plan to travel frequently, then we do recommend buying the must have baby travel items. It’s much more convenient if you have your own, plus it will be something that your baby is familiar with.

So what do we consider the essential things to pack when traveling with a baby? At a minimum, these are our recommended essentials for traveling with baby:

  • Baby carrier
  • Large swaddle blankets
  • SlumperPod
  • Baby travel bed (if not provided by a hotel)
  • CoziGo stroller cover (if traveling with a stroller)
  • Fabric high chair (if baby is eating solid foods)
  • Diaper change pad
  • Thermometer & Baby Tylenol
  • Sleep items that your baby is familiar with (sleepsack, white noise, etc)

You can definitely get by with leaving all the other baby travel stuff at home or buying lighter and more portable baby travel gear. This would depend on how much room you have and how much you’ll be moving around!

We’ve also created a list on Amazon with all the products mentioned above, so you can see them all in one place!

Checklist for What to Bring When Traveling with a Baby

It can seem overwhelming when you start thinking about everything you need to bring when traveling with a baby and that’s why we’ve created this handy baby packing list so you don’t forget anything!

The best toys for traveling with a baby and keeping your baby entertained on a flight are sensory toys and will quickly become part of your baby travel essentials. Your baby is discovering the world and will be interested in toys that make noise, feel different or that shake.

Your baby will also be interested in plastic cups, plastic bottles, the seat belt and everything around them (pack some wipes to get it clean first!). The best travel toys for infants are ones that your baby can easily grasp and suck or chew on.

While we know that the plane ride can be the most stressful part of traveling with a baby, just remember that’s it’s a very small part of your trip. You’ve likely planned an amazing trip to one of the best places to travel with a baby, don’t let the flight stress you out. Read our post on why we don’t recommend handing out goody bags, try to keep your focus on your baby rather than other passengers and don’t overpack!

With any luck you’ll get your baby to sleep on the flight and it will be over before you know it!

Baby feeding supplies | 220.

lv

Modern mothers will be very helpful in feeding their babies with different feeding aids. To simplify the process of feeding babies and young children, the online store 220.lv offers you a wide range of products intended for feeding at a much lower price.

Here you will find the necessary devices for newborn babies, as well as for a grown-up baby who knows how to eat on his own. For the smallest babies, you can find nipples from different manufacturers, as well as feeding bottles of different sizes. Most bottles are made of polypropylene, a safe plastic that does not contain polyvinyl chloride (BPA). This plastic has been carefully tested: all studies have shown that this material is safe. We also have a large selection of bottle nipples. Most nipples are shaped to fit the shape of a woman's breasts to make it easier for a baby to adapt to bottle feeding.

For babies with tummy colic, we recommend choosing bottle nipples that are designed so that the least amount of air enters the baby's tummy when he suckles. If you have bottles, you will need a sterilizer, a bottle cleaning brush and a bottle warmer. If you are about to stop breastfeeding, a breast pump and breast milk storage containers will make your job easier.

For babies trying their first purees, we offer different types of crockery, drinkers and cutlery. Each child should have their own dishes. Dishes play a very important role: a bright and beautiful plate may interest a child, he will definitely want to see what is drawn on her bottom and eat all the porridge. The images on the bottom of the plate for the child are a surprise that he will see when he eats soup or porridge. It is like an incentive, confirmation of a positive result. Beautiful tableware evokes a positive outlook on the feeding process and fosters good eating habits.

For babies, we advise you to purchase special utensils: a non-overturning and non-breakable mug from which they can drink; a plate that allows you to keep the temperature of food with several compartments; a special spoon for porridge, mashed potatoes. Plastic utensils intended for children are subject to the strict requirements of the European Union, so it is absolutely safe to give them to a child.

Every mother who wants to feed her child with healthy food is advised to purchase a steamer and a blender. Steamed food guarantees maximum benefit and preserves nutrients. Healthy nutrition for your baby is guaranteed, as it is prepared without fat, vitamins and prepared liquid remain. Steamers are compact and do not take up much space in the kitchen, you can easily take them with you on the road. Choose the appropriate feeding equipment for your baby in our online store now. Whatever you choose, first assess the needs of the baby, because he knows best what he needs.

Travel highchair: how to choose, advantages

Travel highchair is a convenient tool. Helps out in small spaces, especially where it is impossible to use bulky stationary ones. They enjoy the trust of their parents.

Very light, averaging between 200 and 400 gm.

Contents:

  • How to use
  • How to choose a travel highchair
  • Benefits of a travel highchair
  • Age restrictions
  • Safety

How to use

Who is the travel highchair suitable for? What is it for?

  • If your kitchen does not fit the fixed chair by square measures, or it is difficult to install or there is not enough space in the room.
  • If you don't feel like spending a lot of money on an expensive fixture at such an early age, 1-2 years old.
  • If you have a trip planned or you like to travel frequently. You can't hand feed and it's not practical to use bulky options when on the road. Unlike them, the travel counterpart fits compactly in a bag and is easy to use in a variety of places.
  • If you are a sociable and sociable person, visit relatives and friends a couple of times a month, but there is no suitable chair for the little one.

How to choose a travel highchair

  1. The first thing to look at when choosing is the composition of the fabric. The determining factor is its density. It should combine strength, wear resistance and at the same time lightness. The right choice would be a blended fabric. This material is composed of cotton combined with polyester. Polyester gives strength and durability to the product, cotton - comfort.

Don't choose a chair made from 100% synthetic fibres, they won't give you the comfort you need. A good option would be to add viscose, these fabrics have breathable properties.

The polyester content of the fabric helps to dry the product quickly, does not allow deformation when washed, is easy to clean and has a good water-repellent effect;

  1. It is useful to choose light fabrics, with water-repellent impregnation, which do not wrinkle;
  2. Available with built-in pocket. In case of transfer, the high chair can be easily assembled into it. And at the same time, there is no possibility of losing the handbag itself on trips and travels;
  3. Machine washable.
  4. Pay attention to the height limiters - special eyelets for threading belts. They do not allow the straps to slip and are securely fixed. If there are none, then the front part begins to slide off the chest and everything will turn into a fall.

Fits in any women's handbag, pocket. You can carry it everywhere with you, on trips, outings, events. It weighs little, folds into a case and is stored there until the right moment.

The structure is universal, attached to the usual furniture - chairs or armchairs for adults. Places where you can take a portable high chair - all kinds of catering establishments, hotels and adjacent recreation areas, transport (airplanes, trains), stations, airports.

Everything depends on the mother's activity and her daily movement patterns. No matter how her day is lined up, with a portable chair, the child can always stay nearby.

Benefits of a travel highchair

  • Feeding convenience – the baby is securely fixed, sits in a stable position, in the right place, he does not run, does not fall;
  • Cleanliness - since the baby arrives in one place, food and drink particles are not scattered throughout the apartment and furniture. Difficult to clean and delicate surfaces in the house will remain untouched. This is important if feeding takes place outside the home;
  • Safety - there is no threat that the baby will fall, will walk while swallowing food, he is always in the field of view of parents, in the correct position. Since parents constantly know where the child sits and eats, there is no chance not to keep track of him.

For a baby, plates of hot soup, cups of coffee, and even a tablecloth are something new, strange, unknown. All the smallest details attract attention, and he wants to touch everything, find out. The fidget tries to pull everything on itself, to put it in its mouth - this is fraught with serious consequences.

Using a high chair means avoiding abrasions and severe burns, it will protect the child from injury.

  • Education - the child looks at adults and adopts manners, quickly learns to hold cutlery on his own. Such methods allow you to teach to eat carefully.
  • Fidget is busy playing and at the same time fixed , this rare free time mother can spend on cooking for other family members, cleaning or other household chores.
  • A little family member gets a place in the kitchen, near the kitchen table. And since it is attached to an adult chair or armchair, this will allow the baby to be on the same level with adults. This fact is very important for the proper development of the psyche.

Age restrictions

The age when parents purchase this type of furniture for a child is the sixth month of life. The main rule is the ability of the baby to sit confidently and without support. Of course, children do not develop in the same way, someone will learn to sit before six months, and someone much later.
