Just in time for summer, here are 7 tips for traveling with a baby or a toddler
Anyone who has ever had to travel with a small child knows this: it’s exhausting and overwhelming. Many new parents will try to avoid traveling as long as possible in an attempt to avoid the hassle. So, to make this summer’s family travel less onerous, we went to the expert, Rebekah Otto, the Editor-in-Chief of Babylist for her top tips for traveling with a small, demanding yet adorably lovable human.1. Skip the crib. Babies are heavy—or rather, their accouterments are.
2. Proper planning makes all the difference between a great trip and an anxiety attack, so write everything down ahead of the trip. “Lists are your friend,” Otto said. “Make one for what you’ll need on the journey and one for what you’ll need at the destination .” 3. As for flying with small ones, we all know how painful that can be. One tantrum and the death stares from other passengers on the flight will chill any soul. But there are ways to minimize the pain. Otto recommends booking flights as close to naptime as possible to maximize the possibility of a peaceful flight—as your little one can send the time napping instead of wailing.4. When packing—less is more. “My favorite packing tip is, if you're on the fence, skip it,” Otto said.
5. That being said, there are some things you need to pack - like a convertible car seat. Otto has one for her three-year-old and noted, “It's bulky and heavy, so I use the Britax Car Seat Travel Cart. In the airport, I strap the car seat to the cart and then put my daughter in the car seat. It works as an airport stroller, and I feel like a boss. Another great product is the WayB folding travel car seat. “It's going to make my summer travels so much better,” Otto said.6.
7. Otto’s final—and perhaps most important tip for traveling with a baby is, “Relax! It certainly doesn’t have to be torture flying with kids! With proper prep and a good attitude, it can even be fun.” Extra bonus—if you’re relaxed, your child is more likely to be relaxed and that means way smoother sailing..node-type-article .article-body > p:last-of-type::after, .node-type-slideshow .
