1 Nappies and Baby Wipes. Take at least three more nappies than you think you will need in your hand luggage if travelling by plane; this will allow for any mishaps or delays.
2 Change of clothes. Often babies can be out of routine and feed on the run if travelling. Nappies may also have to wait to be changed. Either of these situations may have obvious effects so be prepared with a change of clothes for baby and maybe a spare top for you! See Roxy and Quiksilver Baby.3 If flying, offer your baby a drink from a beaker or bottle (check out the Boon Fluid Toddler Cup) – the swallowing reduces the risk of their ears blocking. If your child is old enough offer them a drink from a carton with a straw or a small lollipop
4 New toy or book they haven’t seen before – it will keep them occupied for longer than a toy they are used to. Sticker books are great for older babies/toddlers – less messy than colouring pens and you won’t spend the entire journey picking them up from the floor. Failing that you can’t beat a DVD player or laptop! See Under the Nile Toys/Sophie the Giraffe Teether.
5 Boon Squirt feeding spoon – fill with your babies favourite food. If the food can be given cold you can freeze the Squirt feeding spoon with the food in it then place it in a cool pack before you leave for your travels. The food will slowly defrost and keep for longer. Also pack lots of snacks, e.g raisins, fruit bars, vacuum-packed purees or meals. The Snack-Ball is great to fill with cereal/fruit and fit into your hand-luggage
6 The Gro Chair Harness is a must when travelling. Not all places have high chairs and those that do can often run out. This easy to fit harness is compatible with most chairs and is light-weight and compact to carry in “the baby bag”.
7 Take a Gro Anywhere Black-out Blind. This fabulous piece of size-adjustable black-out material is fitted with suckers so it can be fitted to any size of window. Invaluable if your holiday accommodation is not fitted with the best curtains!
8 If travelling by car for long periods take a nursery-rhyme or short story CD. It should ensure a little quiet time and may even lull your little ones to sleep. It’s also a good idea to try and plan your journey around baby’s normal sleep times.
9 The brilliant 5 point harness Travel GROBAG fits to any car seat so your baby can fall asleep and remain cosy and warm while you lift them straight to bed with minimum fuss.
10 And finally don’t forget your baby’s comforter, whether it is a dummy, soft toy or muslin. A little bit of home goes a long way when you are in unfamiliar surroundings.
Good Luck
