Baby Travel Gear Guide – Getting Around
Baby Travel Gear For Eating, Sleeping and Getting Around…
A mule to carry it all would be nice too!
There’s getting there and getting around… Getting there means you have to carry all your stuff and your little one, and getting around once you’re there means making sure you have the gear necessary to enjoy yourself. There seems to be the stroller camp, and the carrier camp – and never the twain shall meet. I’m in the middle – they both have their pros and cons for different reasons. For me, in the airport, a stroller is indispensable. I can load it up with the child AND some bags, and while she’s buckled in she has no choice but to stay put, even if she’s being difficult. We’ve flown with our stroller on Air Canada and on the cheapest of charters and never had an issue with gatechecking it. In Mexico it was waiting for us on the tarmac and in Cuba it was at the baggage check. Everywhere else it was happily waiting for us at the next gate.
I probably would have used a carrier more had we had one that didn’t feel as though my back would split in half. With this baby we’re going to invest in a good one – hopefully we’ll have better luck this time.

It’s never occurred to me to not bring my daughter along when we’ve gone away. Now that she’s here (and another’s on the way) we’ve had to alter our ‘dream’ destination list for a while, spend a little more thought and money on suitable accommodations (suitable for her and comfortable for us), and learn the ins and outs of flight booking to find the best flights times for the best prices. The work’s been worth it, though. Our journeys as a family aren’t particularly adventurous YET, but with every trip my daughter becomes a better and more seasoned traveler, and I hope the same will be true once our family expands to four.
Every trip has taken A LOT more planning than my previous baby-free jaunts. After all, this little human being relies on us 24-7, and none of us will enjoy ourselves if some basics aren’t looked after. We’ve already looked at some nice-to-have gear for eating and sleeping while you’re traveling – but what about playing?

For the time being at least, the days of traveling light are long gone… Just as I wondered how such a tiny person would have so many things to quickly fill and clutter-up our tiny city house, I also wondered how all of a sudden we have the same amount of luggage as J. Lo (except ours is not Louis Vuitton and we have to schlep it ourselves). Come to think of it, J. Lo now has twins – can you imagine what her luggage cart looks like?
We’ve looked at some nice-to-have gear when it comes to feeding baby on your travels, now let’s take a look at sleeping…
