When traveling with an infant strategic planning is key. You want to be able to have everything baby needs, but also not have to haul 3 suitcases through the airport. Here are our picks on baby gear that will make travel with baby a little easier.
BABY TRAVEL PRODUCTS FOR HOTELS OR EVEN GRANDMA’S HOUSE
Everyone remembers to babyproof the house but what about the hotel? Keep a packet of socket covers and doorknob covers in your suitcase. Trust us they will come in handy.
My Little Seat Travel Highchair
My Little Seat
The My Little Seat travel highchair easily slips over any chair. Secure your baby with the 5-point harness and let them have their own seat at the table while on vacation. This highchair is for babies who can sit unassisted up to 35 pounds.
Lotus Travel Crib
Guava Family
The Lotus travel crib is easy to fly with and comes in a backpack carrying case. It’s simple to set up and only takes as little as 15 seconds. The quiet side zipper door will allow you to cuddle and nurse your little one, then leave them be once they’ve fallen to sleep.

BABY TRAVEL PRODUCTS FOR TRAVEL BY AIR OR CAR
Baby B’Air Infant Travel Harness
Baby B’Air
The Baby B’Air flight vest gives security, comfort, and peace of mind to parents flying with babies. Just pass your seatbelt through the loops in the back of the vest to keep your baby safe in your lap. The vest will keep your baby secure during turbulence and will leave your hands free.

Kalencom 2-in-1 Travel Potty

The travel potty also has a built-in pee guard to prevent splashing. It comes with three disposable liners and a carry bag.

It also creates a private space to change in and you don’t have to worry about germs that may be left behind on a public changing area. The changing station holds baby’s 40 pounds and under. It folds to fit in your diaper bag or backpack when not in use, so it won’t take up space when packing and traveling.
Homga Breast Milk Cooler Bag
