From the pushchair and carry cot to the car seat and diaper bag, traveling with a baby can feel like juggling multiple items. And that’s before you even consider what to pack inside the diaper bag. Whether you’re preparing for a long-haul vacation or a quick day trip, here are the essential items to make your journey smoother.
When choosing a pushchair, parents often search extensively for the perfect one. It’s no surprise—everyone wants something sturdy, versatile across different terrains, and easy to fold and unfold, especially when navigating stores. For travel, you’ll need a compact model that can fit into plane overhead bins or train luggage racks. The Nuna PEPP next is a compact option with a smooth folding mechanism, all-weather canopy, and spring suspension, proving that the best travel solutions come in small packages.
Ensuring a child is well-rested is key to a pleasant journey, and the SENA aire cot provides a reliable option. It sets up in seconds with 360° ventilation, a triple-layered mesh mattress, and an organic cotton sheet to keep your little one cozy, even away from home.
A wearable baby wrap or carrier is invaluable for hands-free carrying. The CUDL Carrier, made of breathable mesh fabric with padded straps, is customizable and comfortable for both parent and baby. With an integrated booster for newborns, it supports facing-in for younger infants and converts for older toddlers to face outwards or ride backpack-style. The Nuna CUDL is available in the UK, ready for holiday adventures.
A car seat is one of the most critical purchases for any parent. Nuna’s REBL Plus car seat offers a rotating feature, allowing rear-facing riding until the child is tall enough to face forward. Suitable from birth to four years, it’s designed to make getting your child in and out easier—a welcome feature when balancing car keys, coffee, and a diaper bag.
An organized diaper bag with multiple compartments is essential. Opt for a backpack style for hands-free convenience, ideally one with comfortable straps and sections dedicated to specific items. Keep nappies, wipes, plastic bags, diaper cream, and entertainment items like toys or books in ready supply.
Other Essentials to Pack
Planning is key when traveling with a baby. For breastfeeding, a large muslin cloth provides privacy and keeps things clean. While expressing milk on a trip can be tricky, frozen expressed milk and a sterilized bottle offer a prepared option, or you can pack ready-to-use formula. For bottle-fed babies, a bottle warmer can come in handy, though many cafes will assist with this. When weaning, pack easy foods like pouches, rice cakes, bibs, plastic spoons, and a non-spill cup.
Even on mildly sunny days, high-factor SPF is essential for young skin, ideally SPF 50 suited for children. Always carry extra clothing for messes, along with sleepwear, swimsuits, and seasonal accessories like sun hats or mittens.
