Found this inflatable bathtub to be ideal for travel! The best part is when not in use it is once again compact! May not work for toddlers but should be great for infants!
Mommy's Helper Inflatable Under Sea Baby Tub
I’ve heard about these but finally got to try them! They work and the best part is they’re clean and not messy! These are safe for babies, older children and adults 👏🏼 just follow the instructions!
NATPAT 24ct "BuzzPatch" Kids Mosquito Repellent Stickers: Citronella Scented, Safe for All Ages, Ready to Use
A great EWG rating and recommended by dermatologists, this baby sunscreen is an essential for outings and cannot be forgotten on vacation!
thinkbaby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 - 3 fl oz
This portable chair is supportive (unlike the fabric folding chairs) and easily folds for travel and storage! This will now be our go-to chair for travel and outings!
Chicco Bento 3-in-1 Booster Seat - Sage
These are the best bang for your buck! Essential if baby will be getting in a pool!
Pampers Splashers Disposable Swim Diapers Convenience Pack - Size 4 - 11ct
Airport
I almost went with a different brand but this specific gate check bag seemed more durable! One parent even claimed to fit not one but TWO car seats stacked. Keep your car seat clean with this bag while traveling!
reperkid Car Seat Travel Bag, Black/Green, 33"x18"x18"
I used the same brand for our umbrella stroller gate check bag. Based on reviews other brands did not fully fit a basic umbrella stroller! Our Jeep Power Glide fits with plenty of room to spare! Material feels durable too!
reperkid Umbrella Stroller Bag, Waterproof, Fits Most
We went with this stroller as our lightweight travel stroller and so far it works as described! It’s cushioned, seat reclines, umbrella is attached and maneuvers well! Purchased from Rebel and saved over $20 for open box! Came brand new ✨
PowerGlyde Stroller - Gray
These come in handy in a pinch and will hopefully be a good snack for the airport and plane! This brand is “cleaner” as well, adding a piece of mind.
Strawberry, Coconut & Sweet Potato Puffs, 6ct
A back saver! Will be handy when baby wants to be held through the airport or when landing and gate-checked stroller is still not available.
Tushbaby Hip Seat Baby Carrier - Black/Gold
Travel toys
This busy board can serve as one of baby’s “new toys” on the plane! As an OT I love the calming color scheme and different fine motor activities it provides.
Busy Board Montessori Toy for Toddlers 18M+
There were so many spinners to choose from, however I landed on these because 1. Reviewers said they have good suction, 2. The material is silicone so great for teething baby! And 3. The cute dinos 🦖 were the cherry on top!
Infantino Silicone Bath Pop Spinner, for Babies 6-12 Months, Multicolor, 3-Pack
This is another great “new toy” for the airplane in my opinion! It can suction to the window or table, is removable and can serve as a teether so a win win all around!
Sassy Teethe & Twirl Sensation Station Tray Toy

Our baby sleeps so comfortably in this travel crib, it’s a no brainer to take it on our vacation trip!
Travel Crib Light - Bundle with Fitted Sheet, Black
Baby needs his/her own packing cubes to keep things organized and readily available. I found these to be so cute and they come in different designs!
Kids' 4pc Packing Cube Set - Cat & Jack™️
This portable sound machine is durable and so helpful when travelling! Best part is it’s small enough to fit anywhere and can easily hook on.
Hatch Babies and Kids' Rest Go Portable Sound Machine - Putty
