items We travel a lot with our little one to see family; and have even done an 18 hour road trip and then a couple days at Universal Studios! These are the things that really came in handy that I highly recommend getting for travel when you have a baby

Out and About
Things you’ll want to have while out and about! A lot of these we kept in our diaper bag, stroller, or somewhere easily accessible in our car. They just help make life a little easier
Safe to be used on pretty much everything- easily clean pacifiers, teether toys, etc on the go
Munchkin Unscented Arm & Hammer Pacifier Cleaning Wipes - 36ct: Resealable Bag, Multi-Surface, Sanitizes
Pre-measure out formula so you’re not trying to measure and end up spilling out in public. Plus you can divide out for three different uses and throw this in the diaper bag, so you don’t have to be taking the whole formula can with you everywhere. Th...
Munchkin Formula Dispenser - Blue
Baby carriers definitely make life easier when you’re running around, in places that don’t have a lot of space, or you can’t be carrying around a carrier. Must have!
Infantino Flip Luxe 4-in-1 Convertible Baby Carrier - Onyx
These are basically oversized doggie waste bags but they really come in handy when you are changing somewhere without a trash can and/or need to bag up a dirty diaper! In a pinch I’ve also used them for soiled clothes, burp cloths, etc. They are sce...
Ubbi Retractable On the Go Bag Dispenser - Lavender Scented, Gray
You probably already have this, but if not… definitely get a changing pad! Not only for public restroom changing tables, but I’ve even changed our little one in our trunk before. This is an absolute must!
Travel Changing Pad - up&up™
We took our 3 month old to an amusement park and I can’t express how helpful it was to have this stroller organizer! The first day I didn’t have one and it made a huge difference. My stroller has cup holders but having the extra to set bottles, and t...
Momcozy Universal Stroller Organizer w/ Cup Holder & Phone Bag
We all hope it doesn’t happen… but if and when a blowout happens or baby throws up all over their clothes, these waterproof bags are very handy to store soiled clothes in without stinking up the car!
Wet-Dry Bags 2 pack
If you’re pumping these are super helpful for on-the-go! I used them during our road trip and don’t know what I would have done without them
Dapple Baby Unscented Breast Pump Cleaning Wipes - 25ct
If you need to take breast milk or mixed formula bottles with you this cooler bag holds up to 6 bottles and has a heavy duty ice pack to keep things cold
Insulated Breastmilk Cooler Bag with Ice Pack
If your little one is of at least sitting age then this is super handy for traveling- it can be a booster seat, feeding chair, or lounger and folds up like a lawn chair
Bright Starts Pop 'N Sit Portable Booster Seat
At first I thought this was gonna be so unnecessary but I can’t even express how much easier it is than a mirror and how much peace of mind it gave us when we were traveling with a newborn! We still use it to this day and will continue to do so while...
1080P Baby Car Mirror, Shybaby 4.3" HD Night Vision
Cleaning/Maintenance
These bags are awesome for sterilizing bottles and pump parts on the go! All you need is a little water, a microwave, and 3 minutes to steam-sterilize your baby’s stuff
Dr. Brown's Microwave Steam Sterilizer Bags for Baby Bottles Pacifiers Pump Parts and Accessories - 5ct
Another thing I tried to go without and will never do it again. It’s just not easy to clean baby bottles (and keep them clean) in a hotel room. This drying rack is pretty cheap and all the racks fold down so it doesn’t take up much room! I keep a bag...
Munchkin Fold Cup and Bottle Drying Rack - White
You’d be surprised how hard it was to wash bottles and pump parts in a hotel sink without a basin. So the next time we traveled I made sure to get one of these and it made things much easier! Make sure it’s collapsible to ease packing/space-fitting
Collapsible Dish Basin with Drain Plug
It’s not the most travel-friendly in the sense that it doesn’t fold up or anything and it is regular size. So basically it’s just a bottle brush. I use these and also the Dr Brown- but basically you want one that the tip is sponge, not bristles, beca...
Munchkin Sponge Bottle Brush - Gray
Health, Bathing, Sleep, Etc
We always pack these with us in case we need them!
If you have a little, little one this is an absolute must. I mean these are a lifesaver every day anyway, but when the little babe is stuck in a car seat and can’t be doing bicycle legs, etc these gas drops really help things
Mylicon Baby Colic Treatment Dye Free Drops - 1 fl oz
Another thing that is hard to do in a hotel? Bathing. These washable, foldable bath seats are great for bathing on the go!
Ingenuity Foldaway Baby Bath Seat, 0-6 Months
You’d be surprised how powerful this little guy is! Our little one was pretty congested during our wintertime road trip so we just used distilled water from the store… plugged this into a usb and sat it in the cup holder and it worked wonders!
Homedics Portable Ultrasonic Humidifier with Night-Light and Aromatherapy Sage
I honestly don’t know what people did before the Pack n Play lol. We keep it folded up in our car to take it with us literally every where we go. And it’s really quick to set up and tear down
Graco Pack 'n Play® On The Go™ Playard, Kaden
This portable white noise machine with rechargeable battery comes in super handy to help with nighttime and naps!
