Packing Made Simple
When packing to travel, especially when it involves a baby or toddler, the hopes are to place the whole house in the diaper bag! Right?! Well, the reality is that we can’t! However, rest assured, I have the top three “Packing Made Simple” recommendations that will make you feel as if you can! These picks below are my go-to when preparing for travel.
Skip Hop
Suite By Skip Hop 6-In-1 Diaper Backpack Set
If you are looking for a diaper bag you can throw on your back or clip to the stroller Skip Hop 6-In-1 Diaper Backpack Set is what you should use. It does so much more than the average diaper bag. It allows you to consolidate your baby’s needs and your work obligations all in one!
There is a laptop holding area for your work needs and ten additional pockets to pack all of your baby’s essentials! Very lightweight and stylish with a wristlet pouch for added convenience. Need to change a diaper on the go? No worries, the Diaper Backpack set has you covered with a changing pad attached.
Prepara Mom
Take Along First Aid Kit – Kid Joy
Sometimes accidents happen while on the go. “Take Along First Aid Kit” provides you with all of your First Aid needs. My favorite part about this kit is that you can keep it right in your purse, backpack, carry-on, or diaper bag with no digging required! It’s lightweight, being 3.75 inches, and small, weighing .42lbs. Ensuring you have everything you need for your little one’s emergencies, this kit has various organized compartments, leaving you confident you can quickly save the day!
Medela
Harmony – Manual Breast Pump
Traveling can be long and sometimes stagnate in the process. Therefore, flexibility to pump at any time discreetly while you are working, traveling, or out is vital. Therefore, I recommend using “Medela Harmony Manual Breast Pump” while on the go. No power is required; it has adjustable strength setting and is easy to use! It is small, light, easy to clean, and quiet, making it a definite must-have!
The Car Ride
When driving to your destination, the time length can sometimes be unpredictable, and various things can arise from your little one. I know firsthand that a quick go-to when your baby or toddler is irritable immediately mends their needs. Here are some of my top car ride necessities faves while on the road to help ensure a smooth ride.
CHICCO
Bottle Baby Food Warmer
Timing is essential when creating a bottle or food schedule for your baby. However, sometimes food scheduling can occur while in the car. We all know a hungry baby makes an irritable one, so making sure their food is warm is not an option. Currently trending is the “Bottle & Baby Food Warmer” by Chicco, one of our amazing sponsors. Let me say, warming up food has never been simpler! The best part is you can warm your baby bottle up in just a couple of minutes. Wait, worried about your toddler food being cold? Great thing this has a 2-N-1 capability to warm bottles and baby food jars up all in one vehicle! As you know, feeding your child while in the car, you’re bound to arrive at your destination doing so, but thankfully there’s an auto shut-off built in to avoid any hazards! Having this while in the car will help not only keep you on schedule but also on time.
Gobe
The GoBe Snack Spinner
So your toddler has a top-five snack list? Perfect! We all know while toddlers are growing, so are their tastebuds. Need to store all five for the car ride? No, worries! The GoBe Snack Spinner is another one of my faves to add to the bag while in the car. This container allows you to put all five of your toddler’s favorite snacks in one container with individual compartments for each snack. Another fantastic feature of this is its interactive which allows the toddler to play while they eat. This spinner gives your toddler the autonomy to snack, spin, and repeat! A definite must-have to place an easy all-in-one container for snacks on the go Press. Pop. Eat and Play ready!
NUK
Comfy™ Orthodontic Pacifiers
Going on road trips over the years with my seven nieces and nephews, I know firsthand how handy pacifiers can be. My favorite one that’s trending right now is the Comfy Orthodontic Pacifier by NUK.
This pacifier isn’t an ordinary one; it has a unique, breast-like nipple naturally fitting the baby’s palate and helps promote healthy oral development, plus prevents irritation. Growing babies means growing teeth; therefore, these pacifiers are available for each stage of development from infant to 18 months. So throw it in the bag and go!!
Breezing Through the Airport
Checking in and out at the airport requires a lot. There is parking, unloading the vehicle, opening the baby stroller, and going through customs, amongst many other things. Why not make this process a bit easier by adding some of my recommended faves to ensure a breeze through the airport.
Albee
Gb Pockit Stroller
Getting from home, unloading, check-in, and making it to the gate with no hassle. Sounds exhausting? Well, I have something to help you with this process while traveling with your baby or toddler. This process saver is the Gb Pockit Stroller, is sleek, light, compact, and has an adjustable harness preparing for that airport stroll!
PopYum
PopYum Bottle
Making a new bottle can be needed unexpectedly at times. That is why this easy to manage, and trending bottle by PopYum is a must-have standby item while breezing through the airport. This compact and BPA-free bottle allows you to make and mix all with one hand! Unbelievable, right?!
Babypalooza member Kristeina stated, “Perfect for formula feeding moms on the go.”

Alpine Hearing Protection
Muffy Baby
Let’s be truthful airports can be very loud, and while traveling with your baby or toddler, this can cause them to be a bit fussy. One of my fave on-the-go noise eliminators I recommend is the “Muffy Baby” hearing protection headphones. These comfortable earmuffs prevent overstimulation from noise and assist with undisturbed sleeping while on the move. It has been tested and certified to reach noise reduction by 23 dB SNR in accordance with the United States and Europe regulation. With the soft elastic headband, it’s made suitable for ages 3-36 months. Ensuring that your baby or toddler’s ears are protected is always a priority, especially while traveling.

Finally, making it to your destination is not only a relief, but it can leave you tired after a full day of traveling. So, let me help you make your unpacking less stressful! My final three faves while traveling help put the icing on the cake with ease!! Unpack with these items has never been easier.

HALO
SleepSack Swaddle Wearable Blanket
The key to a good night’s rest is a soft blanket, the HALO SleepSack Swaddle is perfect for when you need to ensure your baby sleeps throughout the night away from home. The HALO SleepSackSwaddle replaces loose blankets in the crib that can cover your baby’s face and interfere with breathing.

And, it is the only 3-way adjustable swaddle that adjusts to your baby’s sleep style. Swaddle arms in, hands-to-face for self-soothing, one or both arms out to ensure baby’s best sleep and an easy and gentle transition to the SleepSack wearable blanket when it is time to stop swaddling.
