A Baby Travel Packing List for the Uninitiated

The first question upon reading the headline may be: Why bother with a baby travel packing list. Why not just pack a week's worth of baby stuff?

The answer is simply that it is difficult to foresee everything you might need on a trip with a baby. You probably won't need most of the extra stuff you'll be packing, but if you do need it, you'll dread the idea of going without it.

Baby Travel Packing List Part One: The Obvious Stuff

Okay, so you are probably going to need plenty of diapers, formula, baby food, pacifiers, some changes of clothes, and so on, right? Pack all that stuff, but pack one and a half to two times as much as you think you need.

You'll want to bring everything you need to make your baby comfortable and mobile during your trip. Certainly, take the carseat as well as your baby's favorite sling or carrier, plus a stroller that is compact and collapses easily.

You especially won't want to skimp on diapers. Pack lots of wipes, as well, as they are great for tidying up and washing sticky hands. A small bottle of hand sanitizer is bound to come in handy, as well.

You'll want to make sure you have plenty of snacks for your children, as well as some protein-based snacks for you. I always stash a bag of raw nuts in my bag. Sometimes, if I have been too busy to eat, these are exactly what I need to get me through to the next time I can sit down for a minute. Walnuts, cashews, and pecans are ideal. Trail mix is great for this, too.

A note on formula and traveling by plane: As of the time of this writing, airports will not allow people to bring more than three ounces of a liquid on a plane in their carry-on luggage. They may make an exception for baby formula, but don't count on it. It's best to bring powdered formula and mix it with warm water on board. The flight attendant should be willing to provide bottled water and warm it up for you.

Baby Travel Packing List Part Two: The Not So Obvious Stuff

Obviously, you can ignore some of this stuff if it doesn't apply to your travel plans, but don't skip on anything else.

* Loads of Entertainment

Whatever your baby's age, she is going to get really, really bored on long car rides or plane trips. Try to schedule travel around your baby's nap or sleep time, but don't count on it working out perfectly. Bring toys, coloring books (if your child is approaching toddler age), and whatever else your child loves to play with. You might want to surprise her with some new toys just for the trip, too.

* Children's Passport

Don't forget that all babies (even newborns) need passports before they can fly internationally.

* A First Aid Kit

Throw your entire baby medicine cabinet in your bag, including rubbing alcohol and band-aids for little scrapes, and make sure your baby is properly vaccinated before taking off. We all have an immunity built up to local bugs and viruses, but traveling long distances can introduce the immune system to brand new diseases. Be prepared. Tell your doctor where you're going and request the requisite vaccines.

* Something to Read

This one's for you. A lot of the time spent traveling with a baby is going to be dedicated to soothing your child's stress from the constant changes. Babies can enjoy traveling, but it's stressful nonetheless, so you may want to have a book at the ready for long stretches of cuddling and napping.

Baby Travel Crib: Why Get One?

Many parents who go traveling regularly are familiar with the dilemma of sleep. The dilemma of not having any, that is. A baby travel crib won't solve all of your worries and is certainly no magic bullet for fixing anything. The least it will do, which is the major buying point, is provide an easy, compact sleep solution for baby.

Quality is going to impact the degree to which a baby travel crib will be a success. The Baby Bjorn travel crib has non-toxic material, which is great for those who want to take no chances. The other travel cribs, on the other hand, are a bit more adventurous. Not in a good way, though. The reason why the more expensive cribs are better comes down to testing. Quality for the baby (comfort, lack of toxicity and hazards) and yourself (lightweight, easy set up, and so on) do come at a price.

The best reason to get a baby travel crib is, to reiterate, comfort. Peace of mind! Being able to travel someplace and not have to use the hotel c rib and not having to worry about cleanliness in any way. If you've seen any of those TV reports of hotel rooms, you'll know what I mean. UV lights and such - it's not pretty.

The ease of set up is a major consideration, of course. Rule number one for the viability of a baby travel crib is the set up's ease - it must be absolute. The Baby Bjorn model can be set up with one hand. Meaning if you're holding crying baby in the other, you're literally seconds away from silence - well, hopefully!

Resale value of a baby travel crib is good if you follow these two rules:

1. Keep it clean!

2. Get a decent one to start with.

Point 1: It's a no-brainer, obviously. Some cribs make this a bit easier by offering washable fabric, like the Baby Bjorn model...

Point 2: If you get a decent baby travel crib to start with, you'll be able to recoup most of your money as long as the condition is still okay. The cheaper ones may have to be given away while the better ones will still be in demand.

In summation, the best reason to get a baby travel crib is just to not have to worry about not having one. It is such a relief to know that you've got something that will hold baby like his or her own crib at home. If you have multiple kids, you can reuse the crib; They are generally good for littles ones up to three years old.

So go on and get one! You won't regret it. Read the reviews and decide for yourself which one is best for you. I can wholeheartedly recommend the Baby Bjorn baby travel crib. It is just superb, as the reviews show.
Good luck with your search!

Baby Pushchairs Tips And Advice

So, you are having a baby? Congratulations! Before that little bundle of joy arrives you will have a myriad of decisions to make to make sure everything is ready. It does not matter if this is your first baby or not, there is simply a lot to do. One of the bigger decisions concerns the type of baby pushchairs you will use.

There are many types of pushchairs available on the market today. To start to narrow your choices down you may first consider your budget and how much you are looking to spend. Pushchairs are available from many manufacturers, and depending on where they are made, there prices could range from maybe $40 all the way up to $500 or more.

Some of the lightweight umbrella strollers fit into the low end category. In addition to their cost, these pushchairs fold up quickly and compactly so that they can be easily stored just about anywhere. This also makes this type of baby pushchair easier for traveling than some of the larger models. As you move up in price, you can expect higher quality and many more features in the pushchair.

Think about what features you would like for yourself and your baby in your pushchair. What are the most important features? For instance, you can invest in a stand-alone stroller and a separate baby car seat for your car. Or, you may consider a baby travel system. Pushchair travel systems usually include a stroller frame with a removable baby carrier/car seat. The third component is a car seat base, which remains in the car. Using the baby travel system enables you to move the baby carrier between the car and stroller using either the car seat frame or the stroller frame. This way you do not have to move, or potentially, wake your baby when making the transition.

Some pushchairs offer a small tray for your baby that allows them to play with their toys as well as store a bottle or cup in a cup holder. Similarly, baby pushchairs are available with convenience trays for parents. Located on the handles, they often will have a place for a snack, your cell phone, and a drink. You will often find a storage basket under or behind the seat of the baby stroller.

Many baby pushchairs have adjustable handles. This allows you to adjust the height and can be a great back saver. Some models even have reversible handles so that you can better watch your baby. Speaking of watching your baby, you might also get a canopy for your stroller with a vinyl window in it.

Be sure to consider the brakes on the pushchair. They are usually attached to the rear wheel, but you can also find strollers with brakes on all four wheels. The brake is applied and released with your foot. Higher end models may include a strap that you wear on your wrist the, if you become unattached from your stroller, will automatically engage the brakes. This is kind of similar to the wrist strap that you might use on a treadmill at your gym. This is a little extra insurance that your stroller will not wander off if you are not actively holding it.

Let\'s talk about the seat next. Is your pushchair meant to be used for a newborn? Does the seat recline enough to accomodate your baby lying flat in the pushchair? Check for the padding and how comfortable your baby will be. I like removable padding in the seating area so it is more easily washed.

There are many other baby pushchairs features and accessories. Some stroller have blankets that snap into the seat to keep them secure. You have rain covers and insect covers. There are also some great travel bags that accomodate your folded pushchair to use on your next family trip.

Baby pushchairs come in numerous styles with many features. We have not even talked about the tandem pushchairs. But, let\'s leave that for another article. In the meantime, congratulations on your new baby. Considering all of the options available today when it comes to baby strollers, I am sure you will have success if find one (or more) that fits your needs just fine.
