What to take on holiday with a baby or toddler
"No one knows what it's like to need to prepare for a trip until they've faced packing for a family holiday. If there's one kind of human that doesn't like to pack lightly, it's a tiny person with a precarious sleep schedule and a knack for dirty nappies when you least expect it. But that doesn't mean you need to take everything either. Don't bother bringing anything you can easily buy at your destination. Nappies are sold everywhere."
"But if having a cot provided for you isn't an option, there are plenty of travel cots on the market. Some are lighter than others. Between the Traveller team we've tried plenty, but at the top of our recommendation list is the Baby Bjorn travel cot. It's on the pricier side but is incredibly compact and easy to assemble."
Pack selectively for baby or toddler travel and avoid bringing items that can be bought at the destination, such as nappies. Reserve cribs or cots with hotels or Airbnbs when possible, or bring a compact travel cot; lightweight, easy-to-assemble models like the Baby Bjorn are recommended. For long flights or nap-time alignment, consider a portable mattress or inflatable pillow but check airline restrictions. Use blackout solutions such as the SnoozeShade to manage sleep regressions and daytime naps. Prioritize compact buggies and space-saving gear to reduce overpacking and simplify travel logistics.
